I thought that's how it worked, too, but in recent years, those can linkto 3rd party sellers selling (supposedly) the displayed product. I got a manila folder full of loose masks once instead of a 3M box, fought Amazon to get my money back, and didn't buy there again. What I see at link:

I've only casually observed the many colors being generated in my tank that started with a handful of reds and a few dark blues 😊 It's pretty fascinating! This is the common diagram I see people reference. I don't know the source!
