Here are my first 3 trials:

Trial #1 and #2 have the correct hue.  Trial #2 has the correct value, but a little too much chroma.  Trial #3 has the correct value and chroma, but the color shifted toward yellow.  The small amount of navy lowered the scarlet chroma value almost 6 steps.  I think I should add a small amount of navy to the combination of scarlet and fuchsia in trial #2.  I will also decrease the depth of shade from Trial #2 a little to compensate for the deep value of the navy.  I wonder if the 1% of the navy will shift the color too much toward the yellow with the fuchsia in the formula?

Yes the navy reduces the chroma fast, but suprisingly added little blue.

If you look at the bullseye figure in your book that has a line connecting cadmium orange with cobalt blue you can see this kind of rapid descent in chroma with out much shift in hue; the line stays at or near 5YR until it becomes so low in chroma it is almost neutral.
