Photograph the skin
✓Daylight. Face a window or work outside in shade.
✓Shoot the skin beside the area you are treating, not the face, unless you are treating the face.
✓Plain white paper flat beside the skin, a few centimetres clear of it, in the same light. This is what the reading is measured against.
✕No direct sun, no lamps, no ring light, no filters.

The ten pigments, and how each one behaves
These are the colours every mix on this page is built from. Each was measured from a pigment swatched out and dried, because what a pigment looks like in the bottle is not what it looks like once it is in the skin.
Opaque or sheer is how much a pigment hides what sits underneath it. The opaque ones are heavy on titanium dioxide and will chalk a mix if you lean on them. The sheer ones carry almost none, which is why a pinpoint of an adjuster can move a whole mix.
Strength is how hard a pigment pushes. It is a separate thing from both its colour and its opacity, and it is the reason two bottles that look alike on paper can behave nothing like each other in the cap.
