The twelve tints above are given merely as examples; other tints
may be readily obtained by making a trial with a small amount of
solution on a short length of film, taking care to match the tint in
artificial light and not by daylight, since any dye containing Cine
Blue appears redder by artificial light than by daylight.
When matching think of the tint as being made up of one or more of
the colors, red, yellow, and blue. Colors such as orange are made
by mixing yellow and red, violet by mixing red and blue, and green
by mixing yellow and blue. Browns are obtained by mixing all three
colors red, yellow, and blue.
When comparing any two particular tints, it is usual to say that
one is redder, yellower or bluer than the other, and the two may
therefore be matched accordingly.
