CREATING REALISTIC CAMOUFLAGE COLORS

When you are creating skin tones, you must remember this important rule:

Pigment Tattooed + Skin Tone = Final Color

Skin tones have base colors and can be placed on a color wheel just like all colors. Below is a color wheel illustrative of the where different skin tones are found on a color wheel. This information, combined with the base color of the pigment selected for camouflage, creates the final healed result.
