What are the three PRIMARY colors used in hair color theory?

Red, yellow, and blue are the three primary colors. They cannot be created by mixing other colors together.

What colors are produced when two primary colors are mixed together in equal parts?

Mixing two primary colors produces secondary colors: red + yellow = orange, yellow + blue = green, and red + blue = violet.

What is a tertiary color?

A tertiary color is created by mixing a primary color with an adjacent secondary color, such as red-orange or blue-green.

What are complementary colors, and what happens when they are mixed together?

Complementary colors are directly opposite each other on the color wheel. When mixed together, they neutralize each other and produce a brown or gray tone.

Which color is the complementary color of orange, and how is this used in hair coloring?

Blue is the complement of orange. Blue-based toners or color formulas are used to neutralize unwanted orange tones during color correction.
