These screen shots are from a video in which Gisel Calvillo (senior mua at MAC) explains the trend, Off Colour: " Taking a tone of colour and adding hint of grey to it, making it a little bit of a dirtier tone. Meaning in that sense that you've added a shade quality to the tone and so the colour doesn't become as pure as what you started with".

Treatment 

 

This is a treament board/mood board I was sent for a fashion/editorial photoshoot to give me some inspiration and ideas as well as a better idea for the theme of the shoot. You can see from this that a lot of bright colours are involved against dark backgrounds giving them a neon like quality.
