It doesn't, though. Some one fed 28 Doman Plums (which lighten red), and it's value went down by about 50, where as green stayed roughly the same and blue shot up by precisely 100. In that regard, the plums do in fact lighten that color they're supposed to, not deepen it.

It seems to be working out like this:

deepens red = increases red
lightens red = increases cyan

deepens green = increases green
lightens green = increases magenta

deepens blue = increases blue
lightens blue = increases yellow

Regal Purple was produced by deepening red and blue and lightening green aka +red +blue +magenta
Celeste Green was produced by lightening red aka +cyan

These results all changing my test!

Currently At
1 Mamook Pear
18 Apples
2 Plums
10 Pineapples
13 Valfruit

Gave mine 30 darken blue and 10 darken green and got Othard Blue. https://imageshack.com/i/paJdSC6Dp

See, this makes the most sense, and is what I was playing with before (though I kept it in the RGB form), but there are a few examples that just don't match, or even close to match. It seems to work so well for most things, but a few outliers keep throwing me off.

It's likely that saturation could be important. The fact that we have 2 types of fruits for each let me think that way. It's just a supposition but maybe Lightnen fruit lowers the saturation while Deepen increases it.

Im sry if im mistaken but i think you have this backwards. They absence of color is white. The mixture of all colors together should produce black. I could be wrong but from what i remember in art class haha...

You must have skipped the physics class, lol.

So, how to I set the colors to 0? I want a black chocobo. ._.

This is light colour theory... It's the other way around. If it were based on red blue and yellow it would work that way
