Henry, this is most likely the explanation.

By glazing with red you will damp down all other colors relatively more than the red, and thereby make it stand out as stronger in tone and lighter. Optical stronger.

I could not understand why he would need any stronger red than the cadmium he use.

Thanks, Allan
