Hitting 100 tubes of half-used acrylic paint finally made me stop hoarding

I counted my stash last weekend and found 100 partially squeezed paint tubes. That is way too much for someone who only paints twice a month. Most were colors I bought for one project and never touched again like burnt sienna and dioxazine purple. I put up a list on this swap board and already traded 40 tubes for some decent brushes and a sketchbook. Who else has a number that made them realize they had way more than they needed?

Wow 100 tubes is wild but honestly I bet most of us are close without realizing it! The dioxazine purple comment got me though, I have three different brands of that exact color and I never use it either. Something about those single project colors just feels impossible to let go of until you actually count them all.
