Red Magenta, Yellow and Blue are regarded as primary colours; it means that they can not be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. Between the three primaries are the secondary colours which are each a mixture of two of the primaries: RED + YELLOW = ORANGE RED + BLUE = VIOLET BLUE + YELLOW = GREEN All the intermediate colours can be obtained by varying the ratio of mixed colours. For instance, the secondary colour obtained by mixing yellow and blue is green: to achieve a green pea colour it is needed to add more yellow and more blue for a green sea colour. The cromatic wheel chart herebelow clarifies the connection between colours: YELLOW vs VIOLET ORANGE vs BLUE GREEN vs RED Any two colors which are directly opposite each other are called complementary colors: these opposing colors create maximum contrast. When superimposed they neutralize each other. These two basic properties of colours are strictly connected with the make up theory. 4
Warm Colours and Cool Colours Colours can be classified as warm or cool. Reds and Yellows and their intermediates are conventionally referred to as Warm Colours. Greens and Blues and the admixtures of them are regarded as Cool Colours. Violet, resulting from the combination of a warm colour (red) with a cool one (blue), can be considered warm or cool depending on the prevalence of the red or of the blue colour. How to Conceal Dyschromias A correct know-how of the Basic Color Theory is essential for facing most common unwanted problems of skin imperfections, for choosing the most suitable colour foundation and smoothing out complexion in the most appropriate way. As explained, opposing colours neutralize each others. Therefore, to conceal ruddy tones (couperose, spots, etc.) it is advisable to use a foundation with a green chromatic dominance. According to the same principle, it is recommended to use orange-grade colours to neutralize blue tones (veins, halo beard, dark circles) and yellow-grade foundations on violet tones (shadows under the eyes, bruises, angiomas). The product should be applied with a sponge to work wide areas and with a brush on small areas. The product must be dosed according to the intensity of the dyschromia. 5
