Hi guys.
For those that still don't know & follow me, I'm Marko.
I'm a hairstylist, a salon owner
and Matrix & Biolage educator.
I'm in the industry.. blah
I'm have been in the industry for 10 years.
10? Omg, 10 years already.
It sounds like I'm old, but I'm not. I'm still 28 & young.
So, it's obviously been a long time,
I didin't start in the industry from the beginning,
but we'll talk about that in another video.
I haven't been looking at the camera from the beginning.
I've always been pushing my boundaries,
and constantly progressing.
I'm lucky that my effort was always
followed by a good result,
and I'm really happy about it.
Education is my guilty pleasure,
and I was gravitating towards it 
since I became a hairstylist.
But I've been an educator for the last 2 years.
I love educating other people,
sharing my knowledge with them.
Techniques, anything that I
learn during my work.
So education is a very important part of
me & my career.
I hope that colleagues that I teach,
and watch my channel
get inspired, and also
get to know how much love I put into it.
Ok, it's time to start working.
Today's theme is a basic color theory.
Together we will get through the color theory,
difference between primary & secondary colors.
What's Ostwald color wheel,
how we neutralize the color,
and which colors neutralize each other.
All that knowledge, and the theory itself is
very important to achieve perfect
shade, and to give the client the shade that they want.

Let's start with primary colors.
Which 3 primary colors are surrounding us?
Those colors are:
yellow
blue
& red.
Those 3 primary colors are everywhere,
and in everything around us, like
objects surrounding us.
Buildings, sky, cars, plants, anything.
So you can understand what I want to say,
that all those colors surround us everyday.
So you've heard which colors are primary  -
red, yellow & blue.
And I believe that you didn't pay attention
to what I was saying, 
but rather you were looking around you
searching for objects.
Searching for an object & primary color in it.
Is it red, yellow or blue color?
What is color?
Color is a sensory experience
which triggers receptors in our eye retina
when light of specific spectrum wakens, awakens them.
What did I say now?
Color is something that I've downloaded from Wikipedia,
and not so easy to explain.
So I will try to explain it in plain words.
Color is generated in our eyes,
so when a light of specific spectrum
enters our eyes and reflects from an object,
it creates a color in our eyes.
It's good to know that each one of us
sees the color differently.
We see it either as warm or cool.
Also important information, or rather a fun fact
is that our eye color defines
how we perceive the color.
So if you can see, I have blue eyes
so all the colors seem cooler to me,
compared to people with brown eyes.
They see colors as warmer.
As we said, we're surrounded by primary colors,
and they can't be made by mixing any colors.
So no other color mix can produce them,
that's why we call them primary colors.
They are the base of all colors surrounding us.
Now it's time for secondary colors.
Secondary colors are: green,
not sure if it's visible, but it's purple for sure.
And orange.
Secondary colors are result of mixing primary colors.
What does that mean?
When we mix red & yellow, we get orange.
When we mix red & blue we get violet,
and when mixing blue & yellow we get green.
Now that we've gone through the basics,
we can communicate more easily.
Before we start with Ostwald color wheel,
I want to divide colors into groups,
for people whose job doesn't involve color.
I will divide them into warm & cool colors,
which ones are warm & which are cool?
So, warm ones are:
red,
yellow
& orange.
Cool ones are:
blue
violet & green.
Why is that important?
Our everyday situation is that clients
tell us that their color is too warm,
they want to neutralize it,
and they are not satisfied with it.
During consultation process,
beside asking how they like their color,
and which color they want,
our eyes see other details as well.
Which ones?
Beside the client's wardrobe,
which is very important for us
to decide on the best color for the client,
and which style we should suggest.
A very important part is skin & eye color.
What does it mean?
If our client has cool skin color,
we won't suggest them warm color.
We will go with the cool one.
So if the client has warm skin tone,
we will suggest a warm color.
Just the same,
when a client has warm skin & eye color,
we choose a warm color.
Otherwise we choose a cool color.
What happens when we have a client 
with warm skin tone and cool eye tone?
Today I'm that client.
The client with blue eyes, if you see them,
and warm skin color.
What should I do?
Do we suggest a warm or cool tone?
For this situation, our experience is very important.
From our past experiences
we know what the best option is for the client.
My advice for 50+ women,
women that are in or out of menopause,
is to choose a warmer color.
Why is that?
Women in menopause sweat more,
they get a red skin tone,
with much warmer skin color.
And with cool tones,
they get a bad contrast.
So when the client has warm skin tone
if we choose silver hair,
it makes the red skin look much warmer,
and hair starts to look like a helmet.
Another important information,
for older women, especially 65+,
they start to get grey skin tones.
Skin loses the color,
so warm hair tone is a much better option.
In order to make a good contrast,
and give color to the skin tone,
and make it vibrant.
We know the primary,
and the secondary colors.
Do we have only 6 colors in the world?
NO.
There is not only 6 of them,
there is much more color in the world.
It's time for tertiary colors.
Colors that are the result 
of mixing primary & secondary colors.
It's time to show them using Ostwald color wheel.
So,
we have primary & secondary colors.
Yellow,
violet,
red,
green,
blue
and orange.
Mixing
yellow & orange, we get tertiary yellow-orange.
Mixing
blue & green we get turqoise, which is tertiary blue-green.
And mixing
red & orange we get red-orange tertiary color.
What does tertiary color mean?
It means that one of primary colors is dominant,
as we can see, here we have 3 different violets.
Cooler, on the blue side.
Neutral in the middle,
and warmer on the red side.
Why is it important to know Ostwald color wheel,
if we already have pre-mixed colors
that give us good results after application?
Apart from it being a base of ever coloration,
an important part of ever coloration &
colorist's job is neutralization, 
which is an everyday situation.
In order to achieve good neutralization of
natural or artificial pigments,
whether primary, secondary or tertiary pigments,
it's important to know Ostwald color wheel 
for the neutralization to be complete.
And successful.
