Complete guide: Nuva Color 985 Red Orange Mod 15ml
A warm, red-orange color modifier from the Nuva Colors pigment system for micropigmentation (PMU). It is not a base color, but a chromatic correction tool: added in small amounts, it neutralizes green or olive undertones and brings warmth to the mixture, based on the principle of complementary colors. It is intended for PMU artists who perform corrections on old work that has turned green or who want to customize their pigment shades, for example for lips. The 15 ml bottle has an anti-contamination system, and the formula is organic, vegan, cruelty-free, and REACH compliant.
How to use
- Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the pigment is homogeneous.
- Assess the undertone you want to correct: Red Orange Mod counteracts green and olive, turning cool shades into warm tones.
- Pour the base pigment into a disposable pigment cup — never mix directly in the bottle.
- Add the modifier gradually, drop by drop, mixing well after each addition; the fluid consistency allows for uniform mixing.
- Check the resulting shade before working on the client (for example, with a color test on a sample surface) and adjust only if needed.
- Work sterile, with disposable needles or modules and protective barriers, according to standard micropigmentation procedure.
- Record the proportion used in the client's file so you can reproduce the exact same shade for touch-ups.
- At the end, discard any remaining mixture in the cup — never return it to the bottle.
Tips from us
- Dose with caution: the modifier cannot be 'removed' from a mixture, so it is safer to add a little and repeat than to overheat the shade.
- When correcting old work, evaluate the healed color in the skin, not just the immediate post-procedure appearance — only that shows you how much green undertone you need to neutralize.
- For predictable results, use it within the same Nuva Colors color system, where modifiers are designed to work with the base pigments.
- Keep the bottle tightly closed, at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
- Check the expiration date and appearance of the pigment before each session; do not use a product with altered appearance.
- Keep a record of color recipes per client — for chromatic corrections, consistency between sessions matters.
Warning: Product intended exclusively for professional use by trained PMU artists. Observe strict hygiene of the procedure: gloves, protective barriers, disposable pigment cups and needles. Do not reintroduce used pigment into the bottle and do not share the same bottle between procedures without proper hygiene protocol — the anti-contamination system helps but does not replace sterile practice. Do not work on irritated or damaged skin and inform the client before any correction procedure. The result of a chromatic correction depends on each client's skin and the existing work, so do not promise a guaranteed outcome.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a modifier and a regular pigment?▾
A regular pigment is a base color, intended to be implanted as is. A modifier, like Red Orange Mod, is a correction tool: it is added in small amounts to a base pigment to change its temperature or neutralize an unwanted undertone. In this case, the warm red-orange tone counteracts green and olive, based on the principle of complementary colors.
What exactly does Red Orange Mod neutralize and when do I need it?▾
It neutralizes green, olive, and greenish undertones — either from a pigment mixture you are preparing, or from an old micropigmentation that has turned green over time, a common issue with certain older pigment formulas. It is also useful when you simply want to intensify the warmth of a shade, for example on lips.
Can I use it alone, as a standalone pigment?▾
That is not its role. It is designed as a modifier, meaning it is used mixed with a base pigment, in small, controlled proportions. Used alone, it would produce a result that is far too warm and difficult to predict in the skin. Think of it as a spice, not the main dish.
How long will a 15 ml bottle last me?▾
Being a modifier, it is used in very small amounts per mixture — a few drops, depending on the desired correction. That is why a 15 ml bottle normally covers many sessions. It is important to keep it properly closed and periodically check the expiration date, because the product's shelf life matters more than actual consumption.
Is it compatible with pigments from other brands?▾
The product data does not specify compatibility with other brands. As a category rule, mixing pigments from different systems is riskier, because formulas and bases may differ, and behavior in the skin becomes harder to predict. The safest approach is to work within the Nuva Colors system, which is built precisely on the idea of combining base pigments with dedicated modifiers.
How do I maintain hygiene when working with the modifier?▾
Never pour pigment back into the bottle and do not touch the bottle opening with used cups, needles, or gloves. Dispense into disposable cups, mix there, and discard any leftovers at the end of the session. The bottle has an anti-contamination system that helps maintain the purity of the contents, but the hygiene of the procedure — gloves, barriers, sterile disposable tools — remains the artist's responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions What does Red Orange Mod neutralize? Red Orange Mod neutralizes green, olive, and greenish undertones in pigments or existing micropigmentations. Based on complementary color theory, red-orange effectively counterbalances green, transforming unwanted shades into warm and natural tones. It is essential for complex chromatic corrections. When does the green shift occur in eyebrows? The green shift can occur when pigments with a blue or carbon black base break down over time in the skin. Certain older pigment formulas have this tendency, especially on skin with yellow undertones. Red Orange Mod is the professional solution for correcting this issue. How much Red Orange Mod to add to the mix? Due to its intensity, Red Orange Mod is added in very small quantities: 1-2 drops per pigment cap. Overdosing can create an unwanted reddish undertone. Add gradually, mix well, and test on artificial skin. Red Orange Mod requires the highest degree of caution among all modifiers. Can Red Orange Mod be used for lips? Yes, Red Orange Mod can be used in lip procedures to intensify warmth and natural rosiness. Added to lip pigments, it creates more vibrant and warmer shades. It is especially useful when lip pigments appear too neutral or lifeless after healing. Is Red Orange Mod suitable for beginners? Red Orange Mod is recommended for PMU artists experienced in advanced chromatic correction. Its high intensity and overdose potential make it more difficult to use than Yellow Mod or Green Mod. Beginners should practice on artificial skin extensively before client use. Is Nuva 985 vegan and REACH compliant? Yes, Nuva Color 985 Red Orange Mod is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and REACH compliant. All ingredients are safe and approved for use in micropigmentation on the European market. Nuva Colors standards guarantee quality and safety at the highest level. What happens if too much Red Orange Mod is added? Excess Red Orange Mod will create a visible reddish or orange undertone in the final pigment, which is undesirable in most procedures. If you have added too much, you can partially balance with Green Mod, but it is best to start a new mix with correct dosing. How long does a Red Orange Mod bottle last? A 15ml bottle of Red Orange Mod lasts extremely long since it is used in minimal quantities. Even with frequent use, a bottle can last over 6 months of professional practice. It is one of the most economical investments in the chromatic correction kit. How to store properly? Store Nuva 985 Red Orange Mod at room temperature, away from light and excessive heat. Shake well before use and seal tightly after each use. Correct storage conditions maintain the modifier's intensity and effectiveness throughout its shelf life. Does Red Orange Mod combine well with Yellow Mod? Yes, Red Orange Mod can be combined with Yellow Mod for complex corrections requiring both green neutralization and general warmth addition. This combination is used by experienced artists in difficult cases. Proportions must be carefully adjusted on artificial skin first.
