Wrong Color for Wheels

I painted the wheels with a coat of Testor's Yellow #1114.  Oh my goodness!  It looks like I used traffic paint yellow.  It's too intense.  After I painted one, I had to do the others.  While I was mulling this over, I realized that this seemed familiar.  When I repainted my wagon's wheels, I had trouble with the yellow being too intense.  I needed a paler yellow.  But I cannot remember if I mixed white and yellow, or found the pale yellow. 

I am going to the hobby store to look at the options.  So for now, I have a primer coat of VERY yellow paint.  If I have to, I'll mix my own color, but will try to find the right one in a bottle first.
