Pigments blended with polymer powders produce a wide shade range including pinks, whites, milky translucent shades, and which color?

• A. Blue
• B. Green
• C. Magenta
• D. Red

Answer: (D)

When pigments are blended with polymer powders, you can create a wide range of shades from light to more opaque. The described group—pinks, whites, and milky translucent shades—covers the lighter, softer end of the spectrum. The color that completes this broad range is red. Red extends the range toward a bold, classic look and can be diluted with white to make pinks or used sheer for a milky red effect. Blue and green require different pigments and aren’t typically produced in this common powder system, and magenta would already sit within the pink/red family rather than extend the range in the way red does.
