Color Wheel – The Basis of Color Theory
The Color Wheel
The color wheel shows the relationships between colors and is the central tool of color theory in permanent makeup.
Structure
- Primary colors: Red, yellow, blue
- Secondary colors: Orange, green, purple
- Tertiary colors: Mixtures of adjacent colors
PMU Practice
Complementary colors (opposite each other) neutralize each other – the basis for correction tones. Red tones are neutralized with green, blue-gray with orange.
