![]() Thank you so much, this is amazingly helpful! I'm stuck on knowing what to add to get a color I'm looking for, especially foundation.įor example, if my foundation is too orange then I would need a blue to neutralize it but I'm finding that doesn't help with the undertone per se? So complimentary colors neutralize each other (does this go to brown or gray or just depends? Does blue make it more gray and red more brown?)Īlso if I have a color that I want to mix, is there a way to find on the color wheel what to mix together to make that color? I thought triad but that didn't work□ And analagous isn't right either (thank you again for the explanation it was very helpful) Best of luck on your color theory journey!Įdit: as i reread your post im understanding now that the pinkish color is supposed to be representative of your skin tone, but either way i hope this comment clears up any confusion about analogous colors. ![]() So adding a green color corrector will neutralize the redness in your skin. If you have a blemish or or other redness in your skin (literally a pinkish color on the wheel), its compliment (opposite) is going to be a greenish color. However, if you were to mix the complimentary color into your chosen color, this would effectively “neutralize” the color. In art or decorating, these colors when used in combination, create a color harmony of a different kind. When looking at a color wheel, the color directly opposite a given color is called its compliment. The reason for this is based on color theory. I dont wear makeup and really know next to nothing about it, but green mixer is used, as far as i understand, to correct for redness in the complexion. Your bathmat might be the pinkish color and the wall paint might be the greenish colors. You might use this harmony, as an example, if you were decorating your bathroom and had floor tiles that matched the middle color. This color combination is a harmony because they are right next to each other on the color wheel, each one step away from the other. The pinkish color was formed by adding a bit of red to the middle color, thus it is warmer, and the greenish color was formed by adding a bit of blue to the middle color, thus it is cooler. One would not mix them together to get the middle color, thats not how the middle color was formed. ![]() It is simply the colors one step along the color wheel to either side of a chosen color. If im understanding this correctly, the middle color is somewhat representative of your skin tone? If this is the case, i think u may be misunderstanding what an “analogous” color combo is.
