Which product category increases vibrancy of the color formula or neutralizes unwanted tones?

• A. Intensifiers
• B. Concentrates
• C. Drabbers
• D. Neutralizers

Answer: (B)

Concentrates are used to adjust the strength and tone of the color mix. By adding more concentrate, you deposit more pigment, which boosts vibrancy and depth of the final shade. They also let you fine-tune undertones by choosing concentrates with different pigment balances, helping to neutralize unwanted tones as needed. The other options have more specific roles: intensifiers mainly deepen the shade, drabbers dull or mute color, and neutralizers are designed to cancel specific undertones rather than increase overall vibrancy.
