The CV system starts with more accurate hues, and addresses them within a value scale. To ensure that hues are not contaminated, you neutralize with an equal value gray.
Michael, if I understand this correctly/ this would be the best system to apply to pastels since your colors are in a sense "pre mixed" in different sticks. This was always the question I had regarding the use of cool shadows. For example, pertaining to pastels, if you find your local skin color, then you want your shadows cool, do you cross hatch with a blue color or do you pick a darker hue (stick) of your local color that is already mixed?

I am not sure if you work in pastels, but hopefully that question made some sense and another person might be able to help me there.
