I feel XF-66 is too light as is for mouse grey, drop about 2 brushloads of
XF-63 German Grey into it to get it close, I usually lighten XF-63 with XF
66 for mouse grey
Thing is that Mouse Grey and Reed Green faded massively as they got older,
but I've never seen faded Mouse grey looking like XF-66, if you want faded
mouse grey, use XF-63 with a lot of white or white with a couple of
brushloads of XF-63 in it
Reed green is best lightened (faded) with either XF-59 Desert Yellow or
XF-59 Dark Yellow
Have fun
