color principleSColors interact with each other in a consistent, predictable way. When you understand these interactions, you can formulate any color with complete confidence.the color wheel shows the complementary relationships of the Primary, Secondary and tertiary colors. It also shows the warm and cool colors. Complementary colors are opposite colors that create neutral browns when they are mixed.

tHe SyStemMatrix color lines function in harmony as they work in a system using a common set of cream developers . Most color shades in the Color Sync and SOCOLOr portfolios can also be mixed together within their respective color lines to maximize the color result possibilities. a versatile porfolio of shades allows you to maximize creativity and do more with less.
