Color Oppositions

Cyan Blue, PB15.3 or PB15.4 or just PB15 as Manganese hue is also called, Thalo or Phthalo Blue which comes from the word phthalocyan cyanine, it shades to
a neutral shadow color by adding it's opposite color Cadmium Red Light and vice versa.

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.

This was painted with red, cyan and white, see more here.
