[Verse 1]
Ya know cadmium yellow
Took away the mellow
Is the cadmium red
So he doesn’t look dead?
[Chorus]
Too much red
(Too much yellow)
Too much said
(By a nasty fellow)
[Bridge]
A flesh tone
From the Twilight Zone
Overuse, Abuse
Saturation
(Mental masturbation)
[Verse 2]
Lack of cool hues
Ultramarine, cobalt blue
Please give him clues
Must be something you can do?
[Chorus]
Too much red
(Too much yellow)
Too much said
(By a nasty fellow)
[Bridge]
A flesh tone
From the Twilight Zone
Overuse, Abuse
Saturation
(Mental masturbation)
[Chorus]
Too much red
(Too much yellow)
Too much said
(By a nasty fellow)
[Outro]
A flesh tone
From the Twilight Zone
A SCIENCE NOTE
To make a normal flesh tone appear too orange, you’d typically add too much red or too much yellow—especially warm yellow (like cadmium yellow) or orange itself.
Here’s what can push a flesh tone into the orange zone:
-
Too much red + yellow (especially without balancing blue or cool tones)
-
Using orange instead of subtle pinks or earth tones
-
Overuse of warm undertones like burnt sienna or cadmium red light
-
Lack of cool colors (like ultramarine, cobalt blue, or cool greens) to neutralize the warmth
If your mix is turning too orange and you want to correct it, you can:
-
Add a touch of blue or green to tone it down
-
Use more neutral or cool base tones (like raw umber, titanium white, or even grey)
-
Add a bit of white to soften the saturation
