Which primary colors are necessary to create natural-looking hair color?

  1. All of them

  2. Just red and yellow

  3. One primary color

  4. Two primary colors

The correct answer is: All of them

Natural-looking hair color can be achieved by mixing all primary colors. Red and yellow alone cannot achieve a natural hair color as it would lack depth and warmth. Using just one primary color would result in a flat, unnatural color. Two primary colors may create a base color, but additional mixing is necessary to achieve a natural-looking hair color. Therefore, all of the primary colors are necessary to create natural-looking hair color.
