Cool Undertones

Cool undertones are generally known as Ash and Beige Colours. They are Cool because they have blue, violet or green pigments. For example our Natural Colour Range have Cool undertones because they are one simple Colour without any added reflects.
We use Colours with Cool undertones, such as an Ash Colour, to Tone because they cool down any warmth. View Our Cool Undertones
