With Custom Colour Blending being the ultimate rage (and in my opinion the ultimate necessity) for the next generation of nail artisans, many are scrambling around crazily looking under wrists, behind ear lobes, consulting the mystical colour orb to ask:
"Am I warm or cool and WTF does the colour wheel do anyway?"
To understand custom colour blending, it is essential to first understand the underlying principals of mixing pigments.
Primary Colours
Primary colours are colours that can not be created by mixing other colours together. In essence, they are the core colours when mixing pigments.
The primary colours are:Secondary Colours
Secondary colours are those colours created by mixing 2 primary colours together.
- Orange (Red + Yellow)
- Green (Yellow + Blue)
- Violet (Blue + Red)
Tertiary Colours
Tertiary colours are those colours that are made up by mixing 1 primary colour and 1 secondary colour.
- Red Orange
- Yellow Orange
- Yellow Green
- Blue Green
- Blue Violet
- Red Violet
You could go on - but why beat the coloured horse any harder than we already have?
