The more you mix, the more it fades to gray. Apparently the key color (in the data, blue) follows this rule: Result = avg(inputs) - 4, with some rounding in place. The apparent rule for the non-key colors is Result = avg(inputs) + 3, again with rounding in place.

Non basic colors

We can get purple by mixing blue and red dye. What if we mix two purple dyes? If the highest color component is considered the key color and the others non-key, it will tend to balance the two high components (blue and red) with a slower fade to gray while raising the non-key color to gray level with the normal speed.
: It's more likely that any color average after mixing that is above 155 gets the -4 penalty and any color average below 155 gets the +3 bonus.
