Answer 3

Actually, highlights and low lights can be the same color. It isn't as much of a lighter/darker as it is a brighter/duller.

When sections of hair are highlighted, those sections (because of the product used - metallic and such) pick up high quantities of the light spectrum, while the low lights pick up low quantities. Hence the names. It is almost like translucency and transparency.
