If color is repeated in different areas to unify the design, which principle is at work?

• A. Contrast
• B. Repetition
• C. Alternation
• D. Progression

Answer: (B)

Repetition creates unity by repeating color across different areas. When the same color appears in multiple parts of the hairstyle, the design reads as one cohesive whole, helping transitions between sections feel smooth and deliberate. This shared color language gives the look balance and a clear sense of flow.

Contrast would emphasize differences, drawing attention to separate parts rather than tying them together. Alternation involves a back-and-forth pattern of elements, not simply repeating one color in various areas. Progression implies a gradual change in color or shade across the design, rather than repeating the same color to unify it.
