What is Color Theory?

Color theory is the study of how colors interact and combine, as well as the visual effects created by those combinations. Colors have the power to convey emotions and feelings, and when used correctly, can create a stunning look. By understanding color theory, we can find the perfect combination of colors that will bring out our features and flatter our complexion.

The Color Wheel

The most known color wheel is the one created by Isaac Newton, with its primary colors being red, blue, and yellow. Every other color we know is derived from a combination of these three colors. Aiding in combining hues, the color wheel can be broken down further into warm and cool tones:

    • Warm Tones: red, orange, yellow

 

    • Cool Tones: green, blue, purple

 

Knowing which tones best complement each other will help you create a look that’s perfect for your skin tone and features. A warm-toned look will brighten up your face, while cool tones will give you that desired and effortless look.
