But, with off-the-shelf colors, the yellow may have some red pigment in it and when it is mixed with a royal blue (also containing red pigment), the result will be a very dull green.
The balanced colorant system offers the freedom of using a variety of bases (like the PC system) with the safety of balanced fusible colors (like the finished ink system).
