one thing i never understood about color is why the heck in school i was told one thing and on paper i knew it is totalt false but tried anyway
i mean primary and mixed colors yellow blue and red vs green purple and orange. it never worked for me untill i started fixing printers in highschool
yellow magenta and cyan plus white and black can in theory create mostly any color, regardless if that ink, paint or crayons and i am pissed off a little bit because my dissagreemants with teachers about the very subject of color theory being wrong made me drop out from art class and go computer route instead making me half assed computer tecnician with good eyes for colors and this video as well show that dirty green made from yellow and blue and i am boiling inside because in my mind blue is not a primary color for paint, along with red it is one of thre primaty colors for light sources like tv or monitor but not paint as shadow
you won't belive how many times in hardwere stores i was able to pick -unavalable- paint color this way just by knowing what pigments to mix in against the shop clerk advice
and they can only mix colors by a computer program
thanks for the video though

I'd argue that ultramarine blue is cooler than cobalt blue; A blue violet, to me, is the coolest colour on the spectrum, so a greener blue is actually warm in relation. I think that's why I dislike saying 'warm blue' or 'cool blue. ' Warm vs cool is somewhat subjective, while -green leaning blue- vs -violet leaning blue- is more objective.

I like to think of the light to dark value first, this gives me a greater understanding of what the actual colour is. The big question every artist should concern themselves with, I believe. Colour variation and saturation. It-s easy to mix a colour, but difficult to to know what other colours should go with it.

7: 04 I'm confused. I thought that, when dealing with subtractive colors, the primary colors were magenta, cyan, and yellow. For example, printers use those colors and I've heard from another YouTuber that he does the same with spray paint. Does it work differently depending on the substance used?

Silver lining when I was in highschool with an 11- laptop that because of the tiny screen, I removed the colour wheel and interacted with the HSV colour bars.
Edit: it took me years later to understand HSL until I interacted with HSL bars and saw how the cursor moved on Autodesk.

Photoshop does a disservice to explain it by organizing color in a strip. A color wheel from makes much easier to understand complementary color. It has colors organized in a cube, when it is more natural to organize it in a biconal, like gimp does. I wished they changed that.

Lotta great points! I like the clarification of the differences in value between various high chroma colors, as this is something I hadn't heard when learning art, and only really found out about it while doing graphic design with an emphasis on visual accessibility

Thank you Stan for this video, Tiffanie is beautifully explaining all of the elements and their relationships. Going back and forth from traditional to digital made me finally understand the basic principles.
She is the colour therapist.

The color codes I got from the squares are as follows:
Left Arrow: 786864
Right Arrow: 766965
Are we certain they're the _same_ color, and not just a really close one?

reply

5: 37 is actually fake
the square on the left is 83716E (shifts a little to look greenish) and the one on the right is 82706D (shifts a little to look reddish)
