Is it true you need 2 pineapple from midnight blue to get to soot black? It apparently worked for a few people here (I guess 3 would be best though)

I was wondering if anyone had a way of getting Currant purple either from where I am at or from a base Desert Yellow (Id be willing to use a lemon to start over to get this)....

I just finished reading that for example say Apples that are R+ G/B- actually bring red closer to 255 instead of 0.... I always thought it was backwards though....

Which one is correct lol

It's very confusing but it actually does work as R+ means higher number, not lower. It seems to work like light in the end, where more colors go white (closer to 255) and closer to 0 means less saturation, so black. I realized this when adding apples hoping to "increase" to 0 but it actually shot to 80 from 25.
