Yeah, i realize that, i've just been following this This document and according to the values that i'm now believing are pulled out of someone's behind, i should've landed just either shy off of Soot black or atleast near the color, but coeurl yellow? Cmon. ._.

They have the numbers backwards on that document. White's values are at the lowest end of the scale (0) and blacks values would be at the highest end of the scale. This is my own conclusion based on the wording on the fruit itself.

Valfruit, Ciedalaes Pineapple and Doman Plum all lighten (decrease) the saturation of the color, aka subtract from the total for that color value pushing it closer to 0.

Mamook Pear, O'Ghomoro Berries, Xephatol Apple all darken (increase) the saturation of the color, pushing the value closer to whatever the cap is (255 is assumed).

The color system is RGB (light) but the way it works is like pigments in that zero saturation of all colors equals white, where 100% saturation of all colors equals black. The rules are based off red, green, blue as primary colors with the tertiary colors cyan, magenta, and yellow, which is why there is an element of confusion in the document you referenced.

Most of us grew up mixing pigments, not light. So it's a little confusing when you subtract blue from pink and get yellow :3 (as an example).
