    Violet toner pulling orange/red tones
    I was wondering how violet neutralizes orange tones? It is my understanding from the color wheel violet neutralizes yellow tones and blue neutralizes orange tones. And at best a blue/violet toner will neutralize orange/yellow tones. Is it possible that if you do use a violet toner on orange the red in both will actually cause it to continue to pull warm red/orange tones? If the "violet" is a true purple then it is equal parts red + blue and orange being equal parts red + yellow = RR+BY or double red & green. Since red neutralizes green but you have double red is it possible to still be left with the "leftover" red tone?

    I am pretty sure that in order to pull orange tones you need a blue toner.
