About this lesson
Covers color theory as applied to designing and blending tattoo color: hue, value, saturation, contrast and temperature, how melanin in different skin tones changes how a color reads, building a focused palette from complementary, analogous or muted color schemes, and converting a design to grayscale first to check its value structure before adding color.
