Things to Remember:

RGB is a formula to mix colour

When composing an image the eye works:
    light to dark
    high to low contrast
    high sharpness to low
    in focus to blur
    high saturation to low

When removing colour cast using curves set the eye droppers:
7 7 7 for black dropper
247 247 247 for white dropper
