Which mixture is most likely to produce the most saturated violet?

Correct answer: Blue-biased red and red-biased blue

The governing concept is subtractive pigment mixing: a clean violet needs a red and a blue whose biases are toward each other. Blue-biased red contains less yellow, while red-biased blue contains less green; therefore fewer unwanted colour components are introduced. Option B gives the clearest, most saturated violet. Orange-biased red, green-biased blue, or greyed pigments muddy the mixture and reduce saturation.
