Lighter Color Compares the total of all channel values for the blend and base color and displays the higher value color.
Lighter Color does not produce a third color, which can result from the Lighten blend, because it chooses the highest
channel values from both the base and blend color to create the result color.

Darker Color does not produce a third color, which can result from the Darken blend, because it chooses the lowest
