• Turquoise and magenta make bright purple. Turquoise is not “too green” to make purple.
• Blue can be made by mixing turquoise and magenta, so blue cannot be primary.
• Red and blue make dark, muddy mixtures. (Red is the problem here. Any hue of blue or cyan will make a great purple as long as it is mixed with magenta, not red.)
• Turquoise and magenta are the more accurate primary colors. (If you want to split your primaries, you might try two cyans and two magentas; pigments PR122 and PB15:3 are excellent, but not perfect.)
