Paul,

I've been reading and re-reading this and I think I have it but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Use UT14-C in the K position.
Dilute UT14-C 1:1 (by wt) with amber base to make medium gray for the C and M positions.
Dilute medium gray 1:1 (by wt) with amber base to make light gray for LC, LM and Y positions.
