Re: VDB & SeleniumI like the effect of toning a VDB after fixing. It can clear the highlights and remove the hint of yellow, giving a nice chocolate brown color.

The effect of toning VDB with palladium or platinum is that the image takes on the color typical of these metals. Well, almost so, because a platinum or palladium toned VDB will be warmer than a real platinum or palladium.

And yes, use the same formulas as for kallitype.

I may have said that about selenium and the 10 miles pole, but in fact selenium toning, if done after fixing, may have a role if you like the native color of VDB because most toning done after fixing has little impact on color.
