Question

Could you please explain the meaning of "Full Tone" (left side) and "Reduced Tone" (right side) for the colors displayed for ingredients on the website, as the display has changed from showing just one color?

Answer

The change in the color display on the website, showing two colors instead of one, represents the "Full Tone" and "Reduced Tone" of the color.

  • The left side shows the Full Tone, which is the color you see when looking directly at the raw material.
  • The right side shows the Reduced Tone, which is the color you will actually see when the color is diluted in a formulation.
