process of taking in
absorption

achromatic color
process of mixing colored lights on a surface on which the wavelengths of each are combined; adding 2/more colored lights together to create another color of light
additive method
psychological; visual impression remaining after the stimulus has been removed
after image
pressured atomizer utilized for spraying liquid paint or cosmetic
airbrush
in color harmony; 2/more hues which have the same hue in common
analogous
external nostril opening of nostril

water; prepared with water as solvent
aqueous
vehicle in cosmetic; initial application of cream/cosmetic; lower part of anything
base
white, yellow, red, brown; 4 hues which correspond to the pigments of skin
basic pigment
specialized type of dense connective tissue; attached to the ends of bones and forming parts of structures such as nasal septum and framework of ear
cartilage
fleshy termination of nasal septum at base of nose; located between nostrils; most inferior part of nose
columna nasi
directly opposite hues on the color wheel; any 2 pigmentary hues which by their mixture in equal quantities, produce gray
complements
blue, green, purple or any intermediate pigmentary hue in which they predominate; receding hue which creates illusion of distance from the observer; color of short wave lengths
cool hue
top; anterior protruding ridge of nose from root to the tip of lobe
dorsum
illumination produced by tubular electric discharge lamp; fluorescence of phosphors coating the inside of tube
fluorescent light
property of color by which it is distinguished from other colors
hue
white light; illumination resulting from the glowing of a heated filament
incandescent light
lowermost scroll shaped bones on sidewalls of nasal cavity
inferior nasal conchae
chroma; brightness/dullness of hue
intensity
pigmentary hue produced by mixing in equal quantities a primary hue with its adjacent secondary hue on color wheel
intermediate hue
simultaneous contrast; any 2 hues seen together which modify each other in the direction of their complements
juxtaposition
superior portion of bony nasal septum
perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone
coloring matter which can be applied to an object when combined with some type of vehicle
pigment
prang system; basis for mortuary cosmetology
pigment theory
3 pigmentary hues; red, yellow and blue which can be combined to make all other hues
primary hue
return of light waves from surfaces; bending or folding back of a part upon itself
reflection
visual aspect indicating the vividness of the hue in the degree of differences from a gray of the same lightness
saturation
equal mixture of 2 primary pigmentary hues; orange green and purple
secondary hue
vertical cartilage dividing nasal cavity into 2 chambers
septum
hue into which various quantities of black are mixed; darkened hue
shade
visible band; original standard of color; progressive arrangement of colors seen when a beam of white light is broken down into its component colors
spectrum
hue which results from the mixture of 2 secondary pigmentary hues or an unbalanced proportion of complements with the warm hue or cool hue predominating
tertiary hue
hue into which various quantities of white are mixed
tint
hue mixed with either a small quantity of gray or the complement of the hue resulting in dulling the ue
tone
lightness or darkness of hue
value
bone of nasal cavity situated between nasal passages on median plane; forms inferior and posterior portion of septum of nose
vomer bone
color which appears in the spectral band characterized by long wave lengths; color which makes an object appear closer and larger; color which reflects warmth; red, orange, yellow, and other colors in whey they are predominate
warm hue
