Color Theory- practical reflects

After our lesson with Kate about Colour Theory we had to design monochromatic make-up. Monochromatic colours are all the colours ( tints, tones and shadows) of a single hue.Monochromatic colours schemes are derived from single base hue, and extended using its shades , tones or tins. Tints are achieved by adding a white and shades, and tones are achieved by adding a darker colour, gray or black. I chose a purple to do my make-up face chart, from darker to brighter
I did my best to create something unique, well but I hope that reflects monochromatic look.

Achromatic colours

 Any colour that lacks strong chromatic content is said to be unsaturated, achromatic, or near neutral. Pure achromatic colours include black, white and all grays; near neutrals include browns, tans, pastels and darker colours. Near neutrals can be of any hue or lightness.

Neutrals are obtained by mixing pure colors with white, black or grey, or by mixing two complementary colors. In color theory, neutral colors are colors easily modified by adjacent more saturated colors and they appear to take on the hue complementary to the saturated color. Next to a bright red couch, a gray wall will appear distinctly greenish.

Black and white have long been known to combine well with almost any other colors; black decreases the apparent saturation or brightness of colors paired with it, and white shows off all hues to equal effect.

Well I tried my best to recreate my achromatic look,

Complementary colours

One of the pair of primary or secondary colours opposed to the other member of the pair on a schematic chart, scale (colour wheel ) as green opposed to red, orange opposed to blue or violet opposed to yellow. The relationship of these pair of colours perceived as  completing or enhancing each other.

I chose green and red

Analogous colours

  

These are groups of colours that are adjacent to each other on the colour wheel, with one being a dominate colour, which tends to be a primary or secondary colour, and two on either side complementing which tend to be tertiary. I chose a yellow as a primary colour, secondary green, and orange.
