29. Color Theory
• Each color nuance comprises a combination of
different pigments.
• Natural tone/color depth
• Primary pigments/color direction
• Secondary pigments/color direction
• Tertiary pigments (a combination of primary and
secondary colors).

30. The primary color pigments:
Yellow
Red
Blue
The secondary color pigments:
Orange (yellow + red)
Violet/Mauve (red + blue)
Green (yellow + blue)
The tertiary color pigments:
A combination of the primary pigments and the secondary pigments.

31. Three primary colors yellow
The most popular basic color wheel
(mainly developed by painters from the 18th century and later)
red
Starts with three primary colors: yellow, red and blue.
These three are the basis for mixing all the other colors.
Together they produce a neutral colors - usually a dark grey blue
Color Training August 2010
31
32. When you mix the primary colors in this basic color wheel, you get secondary colors:
yellow and blue produce green
yellow blue green
Color Training August 2010
32
33. • blue and red produce violet mauve
blue red violet
• red and yellow produce orange.
red yellow orange
Color Training August 2010

34. This leaves each primary color with a complementary color
(mixed from the other two primary choices).
Blue/orange, red/green and yellow/violet are complementary colors.
blue orange
yellow violet
red green

35. It is obvious that the colors now really begin to
develop.
This gives all the fantastic nuances around the
color wheel from greenish blues to yellowy
greens. There are called ‘tertiary’ colors
Complementary colors are directly opposite each
other on the color wheel diagram. Each couple
supplement each other to produce a neutral
color.
Mix two complementary colors and you will get
the old dark grey.

36. Natural Color Pigment (Melanin)
The hair’s natural color is based on melanin.
Our genetic background determines the concentration. Some people have melanin in
their skin and in the inner core of the hair.
Melanin helps to convert the rays of the sun to energy.
Melanin is the skin’s and hair’s natural color pigment and consists of three color
pigments.
Color Training August 2010
36
37. The three color pigments can be divided into three main groups:
Eumelanin is bluish and the most common and is typically seen in the hair of people
from Africa, Asia, Southern Europe and among Eskimos.
People from South East Asia and Eskimos have the highest concentration of
Eumelanin.
It is therefore almost impossible to lighten this type of hair as it will take on a
yellowish sheen.
Pheomelanin is yellowish and is typically found among people from Scandinavia.
Trichosiderin is reddish and typically found in people from England, Ireland and
Scotland.

38. Troubleshooting
In case color result does not provide enough coverage => possible
reasons:
• Cream Color was applied too thinly, e.g. single parts of the hair did get only poor or
no color at all.
• The application time was not adjusted to the hair type, i.e. fine hair needs less
application time of approx. 20 minutes and thicker hair requires up to 45 minutes.
• The color was combed away too early off the hairline in order to balance the length
of hair and the hair-ends. The hair shoud be worked through only AFTER the
application time.
Color Training August 2010
38
39. Troubleshooting
•Color and Cream Oxidizer weren‘t mixed thoroughly; please do always use a balance to
weigh out correctly the mixing ratio.
•Mixing ratio between fashion shade and natural shade tends too much towards the fashion
shade
•Please make sure to mix always fashion shade to natural shade in the ratio 1: 2 or 1:1
Color Training August 2010
39
40. Troubleshooting
•If an intensive red shade should be achieved for hair which is up to 30% non-pigmented
work with a mixing ratio of fashion to natural shade of 2:1
•A too high cream oxidizer was used, i.e. 30 volume instead of 20 volume
•The chosen shade was too light for the white hairline; from shade 9.0 the grey coverage will
not be 100%

41. Troubleshooting
Stability of red shades
The stability of the red shades very much depends on the hair structure
Principals to optimize the stability of red fashion shades:
• Use little and a mild shampoo
• Leave hair care treatment products only for a short time on the hair
• Longterm goal is to achieve a good and healthy hair structure
Practical advice to optimize the stability of the red shades:
work with extended application time
higher dyestuff supply allows the potential for highlift and a better color result
