BRING NEW MEANING TO ‘GETTING THE BLUES’!
Elevated BlueStrategic blending can yield a multitude of shades & finishes
Alter the temperature of a shade; the addition of an interference blue can result in a “cooler” hue
Red shades can be made lighter with a cool, shimmering finish by incorporating an interference blue.
Colorona® Blackstar Blue adds depth while also imparting a unique blue reflectance
Colorona® Dark Blue can also impart depth to a color without the “dirtiness” of black
Likewise, Colorona® Light Blue can be transformed with a black pigment (i.eRonastar® Diamond Black IQ or Ronastar® Black Allure) into a sultry, gray-blue or gothic pastel
Blues can be created by mixing an Interference Blue with a dark pigment (i.e. Colorona® Diamond Black IQ or Colorona® Patagonia Purple)
These blues tend to be more stable in formulations and do not have the associated regulatory restrictions
