What is the corrective base to use for redness?

  1. Green

  2. Blue

  3. Yellow

  4. Orange

The correct answer is: Green

The corrective base to use for redness is green because it is opposite to red on the color wheel and therefore neutralizes the redness. Blue and yellow are not opposite to red and will not provide the same color correction. Orange is close to red on the color wheel and may not be as effective in neutralizing redness as green.
