Clarification on Upgrading Checks

By Icosiel, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

So hey, I need some clarification on how to upgrade difficulty checks.

Let's say that one of my PCs is shooting at a Nemesis with Adversary 3 at short range. So normally the base difficulty is one purple, but since he has Adversary 3 the difficulty is upgraded 3 times. Now, would that end up looking like Red Purple Purple, or Red Red? And why? I've seen people describe it both ways.

Thanks in advance!

It would be 2 Reds. The purple turns to a red with one, then the second upgrade would add a purple, and the third would turn the second purple to a red. 3 upgrades to a 1 Difficulty.

redred.

3 upgrades:

1 - upgrade purple to red

2 - add purple

3 - upgrade purple to red

i might be wrong but i am quite certain this is how it's done.
