PMU Skin Anatomy & Color Theory 2

Question 1

Which primary colors are used in traditional RYB color theory relevant to PMU pigment mixing?

Accepted Answer

Red, Yellow, Blue

Answer

Traditional RYB color theory uses red, yellow, and blue as primary colors, the foundation for understanding pigment mixing in PMU.

Question 2

What color is produced when equal amounts of red and yellow pigment are mixed?

Accepted Answer

Orange

Answer

Mixing red and yellow in equal amounts produces orange, a secondary color on the RYB color wheel.

Question 3

The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis and primarily consists of:

Accepted Answer

Dead, flattened, keratinized cells

Answer

The stratum corneum is composed of dead, flattened, keratinized cells (corneocytes) that form the skin's protective barrier.

Question 4

In PMU, pigment is deposited primarily into which skin layer?

Accepted Answer

Upper dermis (papillary dermis)

Answer

PMU pigment is targeted to the upper (papillary) dermis to achieve long-lasting results that won't fade too quickly.

Question 5

Which color is the direct complement of orange on the color wheel?

Accepted Answer

Blue

Answer

Blue is the complementary color of orange; placing blue tones in a pigment neutralizes orange undertones in healed results.
