Comes in useful when your trying to tone down a orange/pink vinyl.

The general rule of thumb is to apply the opposite colour of the vinyl to negate the orange/pink/purple colour.

So for example, if the kit is orange, you would apply a blue wash,

or if your kit is purple you would apply a green wash,.x

you look at the colour of the doll, and paint the opposite of what it is on the wheel to cancel out the pink or orange.

Its easy once you know how it works! :wink:
