Why is the color not affecting the outcome?

Why turns the cyan back into white?

You can’t probably use add if you want to retain a color. And I am not sure if I understood what is exactly happening in your image. Perhaps next time make a more clear example with a simple shapes like circles/boxes etc.

If you want to “merge” a color to an image, I would create a mask setup. Here’s a high level example: select an area of image with a mask color. With this mask you select which input to blend in to your result. You can mix the input images/colors with lerp. This way both/all input colors stay exactly as they are.

I think I have already posted similar reply earlier so I will add a link later if I have time to find it.

To further explain the problem you’re seeing.

Your base image is pink. Let say an RGB value of 1.0, 0.2, 0.2. You’re adding cyan, which is probably RGB 0.0, 0.8, 0.8or something close to that.

RGB 1.0, 0.2, 0.2 + RGB 0.0, 0.8, 0.8 = RGB 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 … aka white.

oh thanks for the replies, how simpel as it is, I thought it worked different. I followed the brackeys tutorial but got a different, this, result.
But with your explenations, it makes sense to me how it works. I’ll try the mask way you described Olmi
