What it concludes

Sunlight hitting a base color adds saturation rather than subtracting it.
Gray acts like a gravity well, pulling colors toward it on the color wheel when crossing through it.
Reflected light gets slightly lighter than the base shadow value, but only by half a hair.
Value is more fundamental than color in this style of painting.
