To achieve brown from a level 6 RV, which color level is used?

• A. Red Violet
• B. Green Yellow
• C. Yellow Red
• D. Blue Orange

Answer: (B)

When you’re aiming for brown from a level 6 red-violet base, you neutralize the reddish-violet tones with their opposite on the color wheel. The opposite of violet is yellow-green, so using a color level that includes green-yellow counteracts the red-violet reflections and lets the overall result read as brown instead of purple. The other options don’t provide that complementary balance: red-violet would reinforce the existing violet-red tones, yellow-red wouldn’t neutralize violet, and blue-orange isn’t the opposite of violet and won’t cancel the violet-red undertones.
