PMU Colour Theory & Pigment Selection

Choosing the right pigment is about more than matching a colour or memorizing a formula.

Colour Logic is a comprehensive PMU colour theory course designed to teach artists how to understand, analyze and predict colour so they can make more intentional pigment decisions for brows and lips.

Instead of relying on pre-made recipes or rules like “orange corrects blue,” you'll learn the logic behind colour selection, including how skin tone, undertone, melanin, natural lip colour, existing PMU, pigment characteristics and the desired healed result can influence what you choose.

You'll learn how to evaluate the colour you see, understand what may be contributing to it, determine the direction your formula needs to move and select or mix pigments with purpose.

What You'll Learn

• Hue, value, saturation and temperature in PMU
• How colour behaves differently when implanted beneath the skin
• Skin tone, undertone, overtone and melanin
• Warm, cool, neutral and olive undertones
• How natural skin and lip colour influence healed PMU
• Organic, inorganic and hybrid pigment systems
• Pigment opacity, concentration and formulation
• How to read and compare pigment colours
• Fresh colour vs healed colour
• Colour shifts and why unwanted tones can appear
• Brow pigment selection for different clients
• Lip colour analysis and pigment selection
• Understanding modifiers and correctors
• How to intentionally warm, cool, deepen, soften or neutralize a formula
• Brow colour correction
• Lip neutralization and colour correction
• Existing pigment and residual colour
• When to neutralize, adjust, cover or avoid adding more pigment
• Creating formulas based on colour logic rather than memorized recipes
• Realistic PMU colour scenarios and case studies

The Colour Logic Method

Throughout the course, you'll learn to approach colour using one repeatable process:

ANALYZE → INTERPRET → FORMULATE → PREDICT → EVALUATE

Rather than asking:

“What colour should I use?”

You'll learn to ask:

What am I seeing? Why am I seeing it? Where does the colour need to go? What pigment direction will move it there? How is that choice likely to heal?

The goal of Colour Logic isn't to give you one formula for every client.

It's to give you the knowledge to build your own decisions.

Stop memorizing formulas. Start understanding colour.
