PAGE 2: COLOR THEORY AND PIGMENT
CHEMISTRY
Color theory extends far beyond the visual arrangement of a standard color wheel; it relies entirely on the underlying chemical composition of natural and synthetic pigments. Understanding how light reflects off binders and mineral compounds is essential for predicting how different mediums will dry and age over time. Primary colors form the foundational base of physical mixing, but their pure rendering depends heavily on whether you are working with acrylic polymer emulsions, oil-based fluids, or dry powder bases.
Achieving a durable mixture requires precise knowledge of transparency levels, tinting strength, and lightfastness ratings. If a medium is diluted excessively with standard water or chemical thinners without an appropriate binding medium, the molecular structure breaks down completely. This structural decay causes the dried pigment to crack, flake, or shift colors radically when exposed to standard environmental ambient light. Mastering the balance of vehicle, binder, and pigment ensures long-term vibrancy and professional structural integrity.
