Want to explain HueForge to people who don't like pizza? Looking for a more subtle example with just 4 colors? I've got you covered. Notice how much more depth the second, brighter white, creates in the top left.

In short, Hueforge is software that plans filament swaps and thin layers such that they blend. This is a black layer, by a thin red, then thin white, then thin brighter white.
