Toptone and Undertone
This week we'd like to share a few beauty shots of the toptones (also referred to as masstone) and undertones of our color lines. Toptone describes concentrated color where little to no light can get through to reflect off the substrate below. Undertone is how the color appears once it is thinned or extended so light can pass through.
On the left side, you'll find examples showing toptone and undertone together to get a feel for the range you can find in each color. On the right you'll find an example of the undertone of each color separated by itself.
