https://www.avient.com/color-theory-monitor-print
An additive color module is basically RGB (red, green, blue)—or R+G+B = White.
This hinders the ability of the white base to control the luminosity and the color blending between hues, and is caused by the over-saturation of color through the lack of white or black influences reflecting through the ink.
Basically, translucency makes possible a color set that will provide a wide gamut on white shirts as well as a strong, predictable color range on darks.
