Paint color – and colors in general – don’t have undertones. The theory that colors have undertones is completely made up – it’s not science based. What people are talking about when they say a color has an undertone is just their own, individual subjective opinion about what that color looks like – to them – under whatever random light source they happen to be looking at it under and in whatever context the color happens to be in.
Everything we publish here at Camp Chroma and The Land of Color is based on the science of color measurements which is called colorimetry. It’s peer-reviewed, been around for more than 100 years and is the same science that every industry you can name uses to design, develop and produce product and materials in a range of colors.
