Day 10 Paul Mitchell (Color Wheel, ABCDs of Color, color map formulations)

For us this ended up being our Bring a Friend day. YEA!!!

Agenda:
PlayDoh colorwheel
ABCDs of Color
Color Map Formulations

True Law:   Without light there is no color
Metamerism:  The Play on Light

Have you ever noticed when you go different places your hair or makeup looks different?  Well that can be due to the lighting. 
Incandescent Light: warm tones
Fluorescent Light: cool tones
Best and most accurate light: sun, natural light

PLAYDOH COLORWHEEL:
We were given a blank colorwheel that we filled in with playdoh.  Loved it!
Primary Colors
Red, Yellow, Blue

Secondary Colors
1/2 and 1/2 of 2 primary colors (1/2 blue and 1/2 red make purple, 1/2 yellow and 1/2 red make orange, 1/2 yellow and 1/2 blue make green)

Tertiary Colors
1/3 and 2/3 of 2 primary colors (mix 3 even sized playdoh balls together, 2 being one primary color and 1 being another primary color)

Let me say that doing it this way made SOOO much more sense to me than when I've been handed a colorwheel before.

Here is mine:
 


Sorry for the white pieces on some of the color patches, it stuck to one of my notebook pages.

The 4 extra patches by violet (I was told not to call it purple because people do not want to hear you are putting purple in their hair, violet sounds better), are adding more white each time and see how it lightens.

With Brown
to get golden you add yellow
to get warm you add red
to get ash you add small amount of blue (blue is very potent in coloring)

ABCD's of Color:
Ammonia: volatile, inorganic substance (STRONG ODOR), used to open cuticle
Base: Viscous product that binds, holds everything together
Color Pigment: 1. Oxidative 2. Direct
Developer (or H2O2): Energy, create lift or deposit, energy releases more or less oxygen, decolorize melanin
            
Lift: taking color out
Deposit: putting color in

Color Map Formulation:
We went over the formulations steps, gray coverage, formulating with the Paul Mitchell the color map and processing color.  I am excited to get into coloring!
