Three color gum prints made from separation negatives are not like any
straight color print. For starters there is almost an infinite number of
variations of colors by just changing the one, two or all three pigments used
as the process colors. For example, how is the print changed by using Rose
rather than Alizarin Crimson for the magenta layer. Plus you have the
advantage of working with color transparencies so there is only one step to
make the separation negatives.
I think the phrase is, "try it you'll like it"
