Neutralization

  • Yellow + Blue = Green
  • Yellow + Red = Orange
  • Blue + Red = Violet

The three primaries combined in identical proportion cancel the expression of temperature and produce a neutral tone. In service, the path is direct: every unwanted reflect is canceled by its opposite on the wheel. Violet erases yellow. Blue erases orange. Green erases red.
