Just to clarify on the meaning of colours mentioned in the video. There are objective and subjective colour influences. I was pointing more towards the objective but I didn't mention the cultural and subjective differences in perceived colour, sorry! For example, blue *the colour of the sky* is naturally programmed into the mind to be an inviting and calming colour. As it's a colour our mind has evolved to put in the background and somewhat ignore while more important colour information could be happening Infront of us. There are objective instinctual emotions and reactions tied to colour, though through life experiences and culture these can be shifted and changed. But in general, you need to keep these things in mind when using colour. As well as keeping in mind the culture and subjective meaning from the audiences viewing whatever it is you make 😀
Is the sky calm today? It's big open and the clouds drift by slowly, but you can't objectively call it calm because "calm" has no meaning without consciousness. To take it a step further you could objectively say "generally everyone thinks today is a calm day" but even if the whole word thought today was calm you still can't objectively say "the sky is calm today".
@@sooma239 Technically there's no language in the world that has meaning without consciousness. Using your criteria, there are no objective statements. Besides, Flow Graphics was using a more colloquial definition of "objective", rather than say, more philosophical or epistemological definitions - he meant that blue as a "calming" color is relatively universal among humans due to biological reasons as opposed to cultural.
I disagree with your assertions of objectivity in an obviously subjective media. Those colors are as much associated with those meanings as much as temperament is related to your astrological sign or blood type. Purple, green, red, and blue can just as easily be associated with death as much as the color black. Even when you try to defend your stance the examples you give are subjective. The meanings you have prescribed are arbitrary. You say blue means calm, because of the sky, however when someone dies of asphyxiation, ie hanging, their lips and tongue turn blue. You say white means purity, however a large portion of poisonous mushrooms are white or have a large portion of white on it. Another fun fact about mushrooms, there is a breed of mushroom common to my area that is white and when you break it, the portion exposed to air turns blue. It may seem off topic, but it really only serves to further my point about subjectivity. To that mushroom, blue means pain and death, just as it would be to the loved ones of a victim of hanging or seizures.
@@Suchega_Uber Isn't that what Flow Graphics said though? That some color meanings are biologically coded (like sky-blue being a more calm colour than blood-red), HOWEVER these meanings can change through life experiences or culture. Essentially, a person's culture or experiences can override those meanings in their mind. Doesn't change the fact that "general" meanings still exist - while it's not completely objective, it's nowhere near as subjective as astrological signs. As long as some objectivity exists, color meanings should still be studied. Focusing more on the examples you gave, each colour (blue, green etc.) is more like an umbrella term for a huge range of different hues. The saturation/lightness of a colour plays a part. Dark blue can be rather depressing, for example, compared to sky blue. (Which fits with the color of asphyxiation.) The context in which the color is used in also heavily affects its meaning...which is why, yes, everything can be associated with death depending on its depiction. Nonetheless, some colors do give more of a "death vibe" than others.
@@Suchega_Uber It's scientific fact, not a subjective claim. There are biological reactions associated with certain colors and it has been proven through numerous studies and experiments.

i really REALLY like red and purple but they do not go well together at all, so i had to change it a little bit to deal. For my oldest oc, she has very emo colours (black, red, lilac), and so with the blacks I made it more purpley, made it more off black, and to fit with the lilacs, i added in a bit cooler shades to it and theres bits and pieces that are warmer for a reason because she's a vampire she has red eyes, but she is a girl she has brown hair.

It took me three whole months to learn all of this at school, swatching each and every part of this, saturation, hue, tint and making a whole colour wheel in the end. Totally worth it
Here’s a tip: Use the normal colors of the character with technically no color theory or lighting, and then make a new layer on top of everything and put a color of the atmosphere. It will change the color into what you want the atmosphere to be.

Thank you! Finally, a good video on color schemes. No arrogant self-promotional b.s., just brief, clear, demonstrative, intuitive and to the point. Well Done mate
This is what I think you’ve done to the blues based on what I learnt from this video. #1 has been desaturated. #2 has a different hue. #3 is two complimentary colors. ( opposite colors on the color wheel ) Very good and informative video! Way better than any other. Now I understand!!

"Each color actually does have emotion and meaning behind it, for anybody. It's not subjective" it actually is subjective though. Especially cross-culturally. For example, in America you might see "no" and "yes" represented as a red X for no and a green check for yes. But in Japan yes and no will be represented differently, commonly with a red circle for yes and a blue x for no. Navigating Japanese games or websites can be confusing to westerners for this reason because confirmation buttons will be colored red while the western mind interprets this as negative not affirmative. While it is important to know the common reactions people in your target audience have to a certain color, it's also important to realize that color IS subjective and that you can't expect your audience to inherently pick up on your intended meaning.
As someone who did a whole essay on emotions and colour, I definitely agree with you. You're experience and culture has a massive impact on how you emotionally respond to colours. It's a very important thing to consider in my opinion.
Mmmmmm when he said it isn't subjective I literally blinked like "this dude- mmmmm okay" because literally the purple one is like "its wealth because of this obscure history fact that if you dont know it probably wont mean wealth to you but im not gonna say that :)"
That reminds me of something. I know this was coincidence because Final Fantasy 7 (??) the rerelease came out recently and ive been playing it a lot. Two days after i started the first thing i see on youtube is an ad for that game
In traffic signals red colour light is used to stop vehicles because it is having longer wave length. The colour which is having longer wavelength will undergo lesser scattering, hence it is visible from a longer distance. So red being the sing of danger is not the actual reason behind it being used in those signs. Though i really appreciate all the information you taught, made me understand the colour wheel SO much better, thank you!
don't mind me just taking note hue- what colour it actually is saturation- the intensity of the colour lightness (tints/shades)-how bright the colour is, just adding white or black into the colour. If you make it darker it's called a Shade, but if you make it lighter it's called a Tint. Colour Groups monochrome- just one colour in a colour scheme analogous-what colour is next to another on the colour wheel complementary - colours opposite to each other on the colour wheel triadic- making a triangle on the colour wheel colour meanings red-danger, passion orange-energy, creative yellow-happy, active black-death,power green-nature, healing blue-calm, wisdom purple-wealth,ambition white-purity, peace
Thanks for this video, It was very helpful Answers for the last part of the videos are- 1. Saturation- you reduced the intensity of the color 2. You added tint 3. You showed complimentary colors.
There’s people making funny comments *And then there’s me desperately looking for the answers to the last bit of the video just to make sure I was right*
Thanks for the breakdown. As a self taught artist with just 3 paintings sold i kinda just go with what i feel but this probably will help me struggle less with my paints and want to over paint my canvases ❤
If you're wondering, he just duplicated it, rotated it by about 15 degrees and then lowered the opacity so it becomes semitransparent. Repeat it a few times and you're left with a smooth gradient of color shift 👍
@Keira Soragami85 He may have just sped it up in the edit process. Or he could be in Photoshop and used the "repeat last transform" function (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T). Which would duplicate the semitransparent layer and rotate it automatically. Using the hotkey it can be repeated a few times in a second. Either way, it's a clever little effect 👍
This color wheel was wrong. Artists have pushed a rhetoric that RGB and CMY are not the true primary colors, because of tradition, and how long it has been used. People don’t like accepting change. But they are wrong to do this. Scientists have found that our eyes can only see three colors of light. Red, Green, and Blue. In combination, they will make up all the colors we perceive. If you mix light, such as with colored spotlights, you will use RGB. On every screen, there are tiny red, blue, and green lights. If you look at an old computer really close, you can see them. Unlike what many artists say, RGB was not made up for coding, it is used so that the screen uses the right combination of RGB to create all the colors you know on your screen. It is very much an undeniable fact of science. Technology could not exist without it. There are two separate ways to mix light. Additive is light. Subtractive is with pigment. Like art on paper. Now the opposites of RGB, are Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta. Whether artists like it or not, these are scientifically proven to be the subtractive primary colors. Yellow and magenta make a saturated red. Cyan and magenta make a saturated blue. You can not mix two different colors and create a saturated primary color. The reason why it appears that RYB appears to work is that when you add blue and green together, there is more cyan in it than any other color, and it comes out desaturated. This all makes sense if you think about it. Orange is not nearly as different as a color from yellow as green is from yellow. Purple and green are hard to make when you actually try mixing with RYB. Blue and Cyan are often seen as the same color, but they are clearly completely different. They are as far apart as green and yellow are from each other. You just have to open your mind. Artists have refused to relinquish RYB, but science has proven CMY. All you have to do is look up additive and subtractive colors, or try it out on paper. If you were to argue with me, you argue with rigorous testing, your own eyeball, the paints on the page, the inks in your printer, and the screen in your pocket. Reply if you have any questions. I’m not an expert, but I’ve done a lot of research into this, purely for the sake of convincing others to give up RYB.
@@Rain-ud2ig @SoshJam Hmmm I just read about the "Abney effect" which is a perceived change in hue just by changing tint, so both is plausible. I also tend towards shifted hue, though.
@@tencen7121 how is it hue though? Hue is literally just colour as he himself said. So shouldn't it be the warmth or maybe even the brightness of the colour
@@rerorero6493 It's hard to explain, but the hue was changed to cyan, and cyan looks lighter than blue. The same way that yellow looks lighter than red.
justbrix3458 YT ....some people will say that I am nit-picking but there IS a difference between complimentary and complementary. One uses the letter i. The other uses the letter e. To compliment is to give praise or approval. “ she complimented him on his manners.” To complement is to enhance. “The wine was rich and complex. It was a good complement to the roast. Of course, some people will resist being corrected on usage or grammar. They take correction as a personal attack rather than in the spirit that was intended. For them, the end of school means the end of growth, learning and change.
Homework: A - the saturation of the blue was changed (it became more of a bland shade and not as saturated as it was at first) B - the warmth of the blue was changed (the shade has gone more towards the warmer colors and my mind instantly associates it with exotic beaches) C - complementary colors
My opinion: 1. I think black has been added, making it a shade of the original colour 2. It’s been changed to a cooler colour scheme (and it’s a tint, since I think white has been added to make the colour brighter) 3. The colour scheme is complementary
@@galedribble9535 No, its not lightness and lightness is not a thing, the hue changed, they added a little yellow which turned slightly green, closer to turquoise, the color itself changed not the "shade"/saturation.
So here’s how I say for the end of the vid: 1. The color has been desaturated. 2. Some green has been given to blue to turn into a cooler color. 3. Both blue and orange are complimentary to each other in the color wheel.
Color psychology is so interesting. Its crazy how everywhere you look all these colors carry subtle meaning like a hospital, a restaurant, a dealership, literally anywhere
I agree, colors can mean many different things depending on culture and context. For me Red could mean health, and Green(or purple) could mean Poison. Orange might mean warning and Black could mean clam, peace, and serenity.
Actually, there should be some overlap, as blood is alway red and assiciated with battle, so battle is red, and seeing red was a great evolutionary invention, as it was designed to see the specific colors of berries, what mean something extraordinary between the always-green leaves. This doesn't mean it's always this way, but it is a good rule of thumb.
1: saturation turned down 2: changed the hue to a turquoise color 3: a complementary color scheme Edit: this blew up and I had no idea cuz I never check my notifications lmao
@@sushi6902 tip: if the color is a different color from the original, it’s hue. But if it’s the same just a bit more gray-ish OR a more intense version of itself, it’s saturation :)
Tip: If the lighting color is cool, used warm colors to pop it up, or if you use warm lighting use cool. Use green as a shadow for the skin if the color of your character skin is light. (You can use any color for the skin shadow just not brown or black it’ll look disgusting, but if it’s realistic it’s okay) This is only on what I use, you don’t have to.

Nah, those just give you more powerful cheats than the red or gold ones.
It took me three whole months to learn all of this at school, swatching each and every part of this, saturation, hue, tint and making a whole colour wheel in the end. Totally worth it
Here’s a tip: Use the normal colors of the character with technically no color theory or lighting, and then make a new layer on top of everything and put a color of the atmosphere. It will change the color into what you want the atmosphere to be.
THANK YOU

"Each color actually does have emotion and meaning behind it, for anybody. It's not subjective" it actually is subjective though. Especially cross-culturally. For example, in America you might see "no" and "yes" represented as a red X for no and a green check for yes. But in Japan yes and no will be represented differently, commonly with a red circle for yes and a blue x for no. Navigating Japanese games or websites can be confusing to westerners for this reason because confirmation buttons will be colored red while the western mind interprets this as negative not affirmative. While it is important to know the common reactions people in your target audience have to a certain color, it's also important to realize that color IS subjective and that you can't expect your audience to inherently pick up on your intended meaning.
Thank you I was looking for this, the meanings behind each colour are 100% not set in stone.
As someone who did a whole essay on emotions and colour, I definitely agree with you. You're experience and culture has a massive impact on how you emotionally respond to colours. It's a very important thing to consider in my opinion.
Not was I planning on learning today tbh but I'm glad I did.
Mmmmmm when he said it isn't subjective I literally blinked like "this dude- mmmmm okay" because literally the purple one is like "its wealth because of this obscure history fact that if you dont know it probably wont mean wealth to you but im not gonna say that :)"

Yes
I just realised why bloodbath is mostly red.
Zdena Musil wow
yessir
*definetly*
In traffic signals red colour light is used to stop vehicles because it is having longer wave length. The colour which is having longer wavelength will undergo lesser scattering, hence it is visible from a longer distance. So red being the sing of danger is not the actual reason behind it being used in those signs. Though i really appreciate all the information you taught, made me understand the colour wheel SO much better, thank you!
how bout just for fun we say its both
don't mind me just taking note
hue- what colour it actually is
saturation- the intensity of the colour
lightness (tints/shades)-how bright the colour is, just adding white or black into the colour. If you make it darker it's called a Shade, but if you make it lighter it's called a Tint.
Colour Groups
monochrome- just one colour in a colour scheme
analogous-what colour is next to another on the colour wheel
complementary - colours opposite to each other on the colour wheel
triadic- making a triangle on the colour wheel
colour meanings
red-danger, passion
orange-energy, creative
yellow-happy, active
black-death,power
green-nature, healing
blue-calm, wisdom
purple-wealth,ambition
white-purity, peace

If you're wondering, he just duplicated it, rotated it by about 15 degrees and then lowered the opacity so it becomes semitransparent. Repeat it a few times and you're left with a smooth gradient of color shift 👍
@Keira Soragami85 He may have just sped it up in the edit process. Or he could be in Photoshop and used the "repeat last transform" function (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T). Which would duplicate the semitransparent layer and rotate it automatically. Using the hotkey it can be repeated a few times in a second.
Either way, it's a clever little effect 👍

This color wheel was wrong. Artists have pushed a rhetoric that RGB and CMY are not the true primary colors, because of tradition, and how long it has been used. People don’t like accepting change.
But they are wrong to do this.
Scientists have found that our eyes can only see three colors of light. Red, Green, and Blue. In combination, they will make up all the colors we perceive.
If you mix light, such as with colored spotlights, you will use RGB. On every screen, there are tiny red, blue, and green lights. If you look at an old computer really close, you can see them.
Unlike what many artists say, RGB was not made up for coding, it is used so that the screen uses the right combination of RGB to create all the colors you know on your screen. It is very much an undeniable fact of science. Technology could not exist without it.
There are two separate ways to mix light. Additive is light. Subtractive is with pigment. Like art on paper.
Now the opposites of RGB, are Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta. Whether artists like it or not, these are scientifically proven to be the subtractive primary colors.
Yellow and magenta make a saturated red. Cyan and magenta make a saturated blue. You can not mix two different colors and create a saturated primary color.
The reason why it appears that RYB appears to work is that when you add blue and green together, there is more cyan in it than any other color, and it comes out desaturated.
This all makes sense if you think about it. Orange is not nearly as different as a color from yellow as green is from yellow. Purple and green are hard to make when you actually try mixing with RYB. Blue and Cyan are often seen as the same color, but they are clearly completely different. They are as far apart as green and yellow are from each other.
You just have to open your mind.
Artists have refused to relinquish RYB, but science has proven CMY. All you have to do is look up additive and subtractive colors, or try it out on paper.
If you were to argue with me, you argue with rigorous testing, your own eyeball, the paints on the page, the inks in your printer, and the screen in your pocket.
Reply if you have any questions. I’m not an expert, but I’ve done a lot of research into this, purely for the sake of convincing others to give up RYB.

@@tencen7121 how is it hue though? Hue is literally just colour as he himself said. So shouldn't it be the warmth or maybe even the brightness of the colour
@@rerorero6493 It's hard to explain, but the hue was changed to cyan, and cyan looks lighter than blue. The same way that yellow looks lighter than red.
EchoStar888 Or perhaps how orange _looks_ like dark yellow, but it's not.
justbrix3458 YT ....some people will say that I am nit-picking but there IS a difference between complimentary and complementary.
One uses the letter i. The other uses the letter e.
To compliment is to give praise or approval.
“ she complimented him on his manners.”
To complement is to enhance.
“The wine was rich and complex. It was a good complement to the roast.

me: **hmphs and gets offended**

Homework:
A - the saturation of the blue was changed (it became more of a bland shade and not as saturated as it was at first)
B - the warmth of the blue was changed (the shade has gone more towards the warmer colors and my mind instantly associates it with exotic beaches)
C - complementary colors
My opinion:
1. I think black has been added, making it a shade of the original colour
2. It’s been changed to a cooler colour scheme (and it’s a tint, since I think white has been added to make the colour brighter)
3. The colour scheme is complementary
b is hue
b was definitely lightness
@@auntmissedperiod yeah I think b is lightness
@@galedribble9535 No, its not lightness and lightness is not a thing, the hue changed, they added a little yellow which turned slightly green, closer to turquoise, the color itself changed not the "shade"/saturation.
So here’s how I say for the end of the vid:
1. The color has been desaturated.
2. Some green has been given to blue to turn into a cooler color.
3. Both blue and orange are complimentary to each other in the color wheel.
I think since green was added, which is a "less" cool colour than blue, so it has been turned into a warmer colour, but overall, i agree!
Saturation, hue, complimentary colours
Saturation, tint(Ed), complimentary colors

@@harshitasrivastava Thats what I said, but i think they could both be considered right. Its truly how the artist incorporates it!

color symbolism is different depending on culture. It has changed through time and it is still changing.
True it is totally culture and so subjective.
Thank you!
I agree, colors can mean many different things depending on culture and context.
For me Red could mean health, and Green(or purple) could mean Poison. Orange might mean warning and Black could mean clam, peace, and serenity.
For me green could be love and red could be wisdom and calm. Black could mean my life and my soul. Just as black and dark as my soul
Actually, there should be some overlap, as blood is alway red and assiciated with battle, so battle is red, and seeing red was a great evolutionary invention, as it was designed to see the specific colors of berries, what mean something extraordinary between the always-green leaves. This doesn't mean it's always this way, but it is a good rule of thumb.
