Thalo Green, the color between Cyan and Yellow is a
transparent color,
it's opposite color Magenta is transparent also.
It takes two transparent oppositions to mix neutral,
or
one transparent and one translucent color,
or
two translucent colors,
or
one transparent and one opaque.
Two opaque colors just won't do it.
Top-tone is adding White to the color.
Under-tone is adding clear.
Mass-tone is thick out of the tube.
Transparent is clear, like colored glass crystal or Easter egg food coloring.
Translucent is floating colloidal compounds of colored elements.
Milk is translucent.
Opaque is dense and light blocking, like a
rock.
YYYY = As Yellow as you can get,
YYMM = Yellow and Magenta, as Red as you can
get.
MMMM = pure Magenta
CCCC = Cyan
This is the normal afternoon darkest shadow color
combination of colors.
Mornings would use a Brown and Ultramarine opposition.
Thalo Blue and Cadmium Red opposition happens in the
evening.

I have found,
Quinacridone Magenta PR:122 a better pigment color to make neutral
dark colors
than PR:202 or PV19.
Daniel Smith Quinacridone Magenta was the only PR:122 pigment
available as of 2004. Today 2008 all brands of tubed pigments use this color.
Bocour, New York, Cobalt Violet Phosphate, a perfect Cool
Magenta.
( I don't think anyone makes it anymore, my tube is very old. )
There is no synthetic for this color yet. If there is I haven't
found it.
A synthetic would be perfect because Cobalt Violet Phosphate bleeds.
