Primary Colors are colors in their purest form
They are the 3 strongest and most influential pigments! Any color on earth can be broken down to yellow, red. or blue...including your hair colors.
The more familiar you are with these basics, the more you will be able to color your own hair, successfully....besides, its fun, useful and who knows....maybe you can color your neighbors hair with your new found knowledge!
Yellow is the lightest primary and is warm in value...its the color Colorists use most..it creates the most highlighted effect & is found in blondes...
RED is the medium bright primary that reflects more light than any other color; therefore, it catches the eye first...it is also the STRONGEST of the warm Primary Colors
Secondary Colors are created when two Primaries
are mixed together, there are 2 secondary colors.
Orange is the strongest WARM secondary color and is made by mixing red & yellow together.
****Note *****
That each Primary Color on the wheel is opposite a secondary color.
These opposites are the true key to success in hair coloration
If colors are opposite each other on the color wheel, they are called COMPLIMENTARY COLORS...What does that mean?
They C O M P L I M E N T one another....
When Yellow is placed next to Purple......
both colors look their most VIBRANT..
Same with orange and blue..................Red and green
However when 2 complimentary colors are mixed together they Neutralize ;
neutralizing is the key to being a fantastic colorist
