I think this may have more to do with pigment choice than  
concentrations, Loris.   The PY 151 is a very light pigment; to my  
mind it simply can't hold its own with most magentas and cyans and  
for that reason I don't recommend it for tricolor but prefer yellows  
with a little more oomph to them.
