|
 |
| 10 |  |  Undertones are: |
|  | A) | any colors added to a base hue, except black or white. |

|  | C) | any colors added to a base hue, including black and white. |
|  | D) | achieved by mixing black with a hue. |
|
|
 |
| 11 |  |  According to the Law of Chromatic Distribution: |

|  | D) | select neutrals with the same undertone. |
