Color Oppositions

Turquoise, the color between Cyan and Green can be purchased as a transparent or opaque color, we are talking
about the transparent color,  mixing with it's opposite color Scarlet/Crimson.

It takes two transparent oppositions to mix neutral or one transparent and one translucent color, two translucent colors, or one transparent and one opaque. Two opaque colors just won't do it.
