I don't know what the ratio is, but every time a match happens, the damage is reduced a little. This is normal.

The way you swipe matters! Say you are using OML and there's a black/yellow double match available. You want to swipe the black. That way black gets calculated first and yellow takes the 20% damage penalty.

IceIX spoke on this on a Puzzle Warriors podcast episode. He said if this happens, you should always swipe the stronger color first to maximize damage.
