Why Does Color Theory Matter?
Have you ever loved the way a color looks in your makeup palette but found it completely unrecognizable on your skin? A beautiful peach blush suddenly turns green, blue, or even a strange orange hue. This is a perfect example of the importance of color theory. The practitioner you choose can make an enormous difference in the quality, longevity, and safety of a medical tattooing procedure.
What Is Color Theory?
Color theory is “the historical body of knowledge describing the behavior of colors, namely in color mixing, color contrast effects, color harmony, color schemes [etc.]” (“Color Theory,” n.d.).
The study of color theory has ancient roots. Some of the earliest analyses can be attributed to Aristotle’s treatise, On Color. The foundation of modern color theory principles can be traced to the analytical notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci. Today, color theory remains an essential tool to understand the connection between the human body and the vibrant world it is a part of. A medical tattoo artist with a deep and nuanced understanding of color theory is essential to the success of any medically aesthetic procedure.
