PAINT PIGMENTS AND COLOR |
(Primary and Secondary Colors) |

 |

| By way of contrast, something unique happens were we to mix paint pigments. Were we to combine all the pure colors of a palette we would end up with beautiful black. No combination of pure colors will ever produce white, however. A pure tube of white is made from a combination of metals, usually zinc, titanium or lead. A straight tube of black is made from minerals such as, carbon or slate. And although we can take all the transparent colors of a palette and end up with a beautiful black; no combination of transparent colors will ever produce a pure white but some shade of gray. |

| Note: When talking in terms of paint pigments, the term "white" is akin to an eggshell white or to the color of milk. It is not the same as any reference to white light, either scientifically or mystically. |

| In paints, there are three primary colors: red, yellow and blue. Red and yellow will produce orange; yellow and blue will produce green; while red and blue will produce violet. By utilizing or combining the three primary colors we can create three more secondary colors, thus reproducing, in effect, the six colors of a rainbow, but on our palette. |

Complementrary colors tend to cancel one another out or more aptly nueturalize or tone one another down; but in the study of the human aura, they can be utilized to heal one another. By further mixing, we can also create other hues like lemon, turquoise, indigo, purple, magenta, and scarlet. Blue compliments red; violet compliments yellow; while magenta complemetns green. A turquoise will compliement scarlet, indigo compliments orange, purple compliments lemon, and so on. Unlike the study of colored lights, complementary colored paint pigments do not form white. |
