"I choose the primary and secondary colors—say, six in the series. They’re also arranged from the widest to the smallest going up. So that takes care of that. And then, I’ve just used the complementary color. So if it’s red, the eyebrows are green; if I have orange, the eyebrows are blue; and so on. I don’t have to use taste at all in these things."
-John Baldessari
