Quote - You did the tinting in an equation after the spots node was set, didn't you

Yes and if you were trying to copy me, you did the wrong operation. You did addition (+). I did multiplication (*). Tinting is multiplication, not addition.

You're right, by doing addition you produced a hyper-color. But the correction did not require a further subtraction. The correction is to do the right math in the first place.

Tinting (multiplication by a proper color) cannot produce a hyper-color or a hypo-color, unless you're starting with one of those in the first place.
