Hi Everyone, Thanks for stopping by. I can’t believe I made it through the whole winter and caught a cold the last week of spring. So I apologize for the gruff voice. After I started, I realized the topic was too big to tackle in one video. This one is specifically about What is a colour.
I had the same surprise. I went in a hard cold just 10 days ago. I come from Mexico, so colour is something I have in my genes. Sometimes the combinations I make shock people. Like strong yellow and fuchsia. Thank you for your lessons, they are always welcome.
@@reinadegrillos I loved putting those colours together when I was younger. All my teachers discouraged me saying that they were too bright. I now know better. Favourite colours tell a lot about ones personality, Thanks for watching.
Color speaks to my soul. Just walking into a fabric store makes me happy. It's the color. I can't help adding whites to every quilt I make, it just maked the colors right for me. Now I want to see how many different whites I can put in a quilt.
Wow! I had no idea when I hit play that I would be getting such an in depth explanation. Your examples of using the paint chips and then even the fabrics plus taking the black and white picture was great! Thanks!
I have a graphic design background, but I haven’t in all my years working in the field see such a concise and succinct explanation. No flourishes or side bars, just straight, forward and easy-to-follow information. Kudos. I’m going straight into the rest of this series. Thank you SEW much!
My head is spinning, but this is terrific information! I think I will have to watch it a couple of times to get it all straight. Thanks so much for doing this series!
I cannot believe how much I didn't know about colour. I thought this video would be boring because I know about colour. Doesn't everybody? well no. Thank you so much. I have learnt so much. I cannot wait to get onto the next video but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you.
I am a watercolor artist as well as a quilter and this is by far the best explanation of color that I have come across! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video and for doing it so well!
As a watercolour artist how did you get your brain around the change in primary colors? I’m really struggling with this concept. You can practice making green from Yellow and blue, how can yellow appear by mixing red and green?
Your colour series finally made colour make sense to me and gave me a vocabulary for talking about it. I've referred lots of other people to this playlist
I am working on my first quilt I have ever done. I have been fighting cancer for 17 years. Now by husband of 48 years has been fighting cancer for 1 year. Be strong and pray. My name is Ann
Great information, when my daughter was very young, around 4 she would pick out her colors with such crazy color combinations, but I’d put her choices on and it always was surprizing how good it looked, now i know she was combining the tertiary colors, she would pick the color opposites, when she colored she spent the time arranging the crayons more than coloring, i have adult color books and i just love picking out the color to test them against each other, it’s like a dopamine hit for me, I think this is one of the most favorite part of quilting, i love watching these colors put together, i like to go through and see what people have created, my idea book is getting so big, this hardwire to color is probably the biggest draw, why quilters are in love with fabric, we are innately drawn to colors. I’ve been fascinated with color, how it affects us with our clothes, wall colors, I’ve just watched part 1 so far, but the information has answered and sparked questions I’ve thought about for years. Never knew the full information about hue, shade, tint, saturation....this will help me pick colors. Thank you!
Oh my gosh! Karen you have just satisfied and addressed so many things in me. 1) my Learner Strength, 2) my fear of color! (I sketch with pencil...but I'm scared to paint because there are SOOO many colors!) 3) I've >never< understood what all those terms mean. Yes, I watched the video twice...took notes the second time. I'm getting a handle on it. ...almost. On to video 2! By the way...THANK YOU!
Mind blown. I have always struggled with color. 15 years of quilting have helped. But back in the day when I did garment sewing and selected a pattern--I would look for fabric as close to the pattern illustration as possible. This short video was very helpful--I'm sure my color woes are far from over, but I'm working on being more aware. Thank you for making this very well-done video. I'm guessing you may have been an educator somewhere in your past.
I'm impressed. Very thorough. I watched this eleven months ago and posted the above comment. Learned a lot then, but found it difficult to absorb all the nuances of color, saturation, tones, and hues. The "tidy color wheel" we learned in school--and, if a primary teacher, taught to our pupils (though taking required prerequisite art classes, then methods in how to teach art, we just never got this deep). Adapting to the more thorough and scientific comprehension of color and Chromatics/Color Science, which you teach here is very rewarding as one selects and arranges color on the palette of a quilt. It seems this time around, I have a better grasp of color science--and it is interesting how the knowledge shared here shows up in the quilts I create--thank you, Karen Brown.
The second time I watched this video I noticed that you were wearing the same colors there were in the print on the wall behind you! Brilliant. I may finally get a better understanding of the complexities of color after I watch this set of videos infinitesimal times!
So glad I found you Karen and your videos on color and picking fabric!! I ordered the color wheel you have today! I've been quilting for 30 years and while I am creative I am not artistic like my mother was. I struggle with putting fabrics together but I'm confident your videos will help me get better!!
I’m going to be watching this again, several times, and taking notes! So much information I need to know that I didn’t know I needed to know! Can’t wait for the rest of the series.
im not a quilter (beginner sewer for garment making), but i've watched tons of videos of color theory in a more of a painting/drawing context and this is hands down the best video i have seen on color theory! appreciate this video a lot and despite not being a quilter, i love your channel!
This is really helpful -- I have always been confused between the original red-yellow-blue we learned in school and the RGB system I learned as a software professional. This is the first time I've actually understood how this works -- thank you so much!
Color is so complex, and these terms tend to tumble around in a spin cycle in my brain - it's hard to hold onto and differentiate them. Your explanation makes sense! Thanks for breaking this down into bite-sized pieces.
Well, Karen, after watching your video today, you explained what I worked on this week. I'm creating a grayscale color scheme for a quilt I'm making. I thought starting with gray would be a simple task. It seems, however, that there are blue-grays, brown grays, and true grays. It's making my head spin. However, I plugged away and separated the different types of gray, then organized them from light to dark. I'm not a natural at all when it comes to color. I am hoping that your advice will sink in and color will become more second nature as I go along. Your explanations are clear and understandable. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for clarifying this. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to grasp color. That 3-d cone is so much more understandable than that omnipresent flat color wheel!
EXCELLENT video and excellent idea on color explanation!!!!! It has always been hard for me to mix and match different fabrics so that they all play nice together, so I really appreciate this series. You’re the best!!!
I’m a scrapbooker & found this video very informative!!! You have a great style for sharing information, many thanks 😀. I’ll be watching this one a few times 👍🏻
Karen! If a person can be a spirit animal, you're mine. The minute you started talking about electromagnetic radiation and additive colors i was hooked. Thank you for explaining this so well to a non-artist!
Thank you for the great explanation on color. It was the first time I actually heard these terms explained in a way I could understand ~ the visuals you used were amazingly helpful. Super excited to learn more in your next video.
Wow...I've never had color explained so well. It's complicated at first, but you did a tremendous job making it simple but precise. Thank you...can't wait to watch Part II.
Very informative. I remember singing the primary color song in kindergarten. Red yellow and blue the colors do tricks when you know how to mix red yellow and blue. But we sang it in French. 😉 and as you clearly pointed out there is so much more to colors. Thank you!! 💖
Love this, a great, easy to understand explanation. I love fabric and I love color but almost always purchase coordinated fabric bundles as I can’t seem to make good choices on my own. This video is very helpful. ❤️
Hi Karen, I love your tutorials they are so very helpful. I am having a problem with color and no matter how many times I have watched your color theory videos it’s just not clicking in my head. LOL. I was wondering if maybe you had an easier way for me to try to figure color out? I have been using the color wheel which has been helping to some degree.
i just so two videos and you catch me , i never think do quilter or patch working ever , i want to start right now with your tutorial i try to see others channels , and honestly i don't want to see other , i feel confortable with all your style.my best regards
Hi Karen, I've only just found your channel and I love it. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing knowledge. You explain everthing so well. Truly brilliant. Once again thank you so much.
My art instructor in 7th grade explained this very well and I've never heard anyone else put it so detailed a she. Thank you, I am recovering from a brain injury. Relearning everything. Certain things are triggered and, oh ya I know that lol some things I didn't forget just needed a key to get access others I'll repetitively learn because though I've done so info just doesn't stick around and I need to come back to it. Someone recently asked why I say I have 1 favorite color, lol any shade of blue really and white. As I told them it's like candy who can choose just one and besides white is ther absence I'd color. I was bothered that I couldn't explain the details I've known for so very long. But I know what I know lolol I didn't want the stress if setting out to find ask ther details im not able to pull forward and explain (( again even though I know it, just not accessible for everyone else. Ugh lolol)) so it tickles me to no end that I've come across your wonderful teaching on color theory. THANK YOU, OH and the quilting info. Fun As I'm just relearning to sew. Honestly more than I'd care to remember for many a year and I'm loving it. It's amazing how we come back to those basics that started everything and generally, if we've not been using them to our advantage and enjoying then to the fullest extent, appreciating them for reasons we'd never thought to consider. Umm o, maybe that is just maturity lolololol either way in loving it. Thank you again, I'll be watching, learning and likely bugging you from time to time🤩Many Blessings🤗
Kathleen Champ - My best wishes to you on your recovery. As a stroke survivor, I understand some of what you are dealing with, and I applaud that you are giving your recovery your best effort. You inspire me!
Your explanation was brilliant. I have always struggled with the concepts and how it all works together. I now get it … slowly 😊 Will watch this video again. Thank you so much 💐
Thank you!!!!!!! So understandable and very helpful, especially the saturation and value topics. Looking forward to the whole color series. You are wonderful!
OMG you have blown me away! I have never heard color theory described like this. Thank you soooo much. Am definitely going to watch this again to absorb more! 💫
Wow, first time I've understood this!! I take the photo and desaturate but never understood why!! Thank you, it's SO helpful and easy to understand. My old memory needs replaying this a lot of times but what a great series.
I wish you could have been my algebra teacher in high school. I would have “got” it and enjoyed learning it. You break everything down into digestible bites where it makes sense to me. I found myself sayin ahhhh a lot throughout this video. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. Looking forward to the next two. I struggle with choosing colors so I am thrilled to be getting your help. You explain things very well!
They are also in common usage as well as their technical definitions. It was very challenging trying to describe the colours without using them wrong way....like 'shades of tones'...etc.🤪
As a nurse the only colors discussed were wounds and body fluids ... etc. My heart of art and brain craves color. I think this os why I am so drawn to quilting, sewing, drawing, painting, coloring..Thank you from the bottom of my colorful heart for that wonderful im depth and correct explanation. I wish I xould go back and be an artistic quilter as my career. Dont get me wrong I love being a nurse... wish i could have 2 careers...
I feel the same. I have spent a lot of time around grey and blacks. I look back and wonderful how my life might have been different if it had had more colour in it from the beginning.
Thanks very much for this series. I am a stained glass artist and I shall be using this information to make more considered choices in my panels. I feel I have been stuck in a rut with my choices of colours, now I have the knowledge to experiment a bit more!
I like your info but still confused in my brain with tones- harmony-values- oh well- im gonna try it until I get it, several time- thanks dear Karen Brown- grey is new after all these years! Thank you! For your help- 🥰💕😇
I love your videos! Great explanation of color; looking forward to what's next. Since my dogs are always with me while I quilt (and most everything else), I love seeing Holly in the background of your walk & talks.
I love discussions of color. Thank you very much. I’ve gotten confused, though, when you talk about the cone and aqua illustration.when it comes to the add’n of white. I thought adding white made a tint, adding grey made tones. Maybe I misheard, but I thought you called adding white to the aqua a tone. Maybe it doesn’t matter if I just understand the concept.
You are correct. It's tints on the top...[sigh]...you have no idea how many times I've watched and edited this and didn't catch that one. Let me see if I can flag that error. Thanks for letting me know.
No worries! It tells me with your great instruction, I got it right. I’m going back to 7th grade art class and freshman chemistry (I’m 63), so it’s fun to pull it all back in again.
Thank you for your explanation of color in “Colour Theory Part 1”. I become easily overwhelmed when entering a fabric store and I hope your series will help me understand and choose colors better. I have a color wheel that has more hues than the ones you’ve shown. Mine also includes “orange-red”, “orange-yellow”, “green-yellow”, “green-blue”, “violet-blue”, and “violet-red”. Can you please explain the difference? Is one better to use than the other? Thank you!
You are amazing! So happy I found your site. I teach a quilting technique that I developed through trial and error and I have a hard time explaining some of my fabric choices. THIS! This video will make my job so much easier --I took lots of notes ;-)
I totally forgotten all this info in color theory class because I didn't like my teacher in college who taught. Nice simple refresher! Your orange color samples were fabulous! I wish you had taught my color theory class 😢
A customer would come into the print shop to look at their job on the computer monitor, and give the okay to print. Upon seeing the printed job, they'd wonder why it didn't look like the monitor's display. This is an example of light shining through color vs reflected light. The monitor is backlit, passing through the images to one's eye. Light bouncing off the printed page is reflected light. This is why a disclaimer is sometimes seen on Internet shopping pages, noting that an item's color may not be truly represented. I buy fabric on-line exclusively and have yet to be disappointed. The quality of computer monitors and scanners has leveled out since the 1990s, and web site designers now have more sophisticated tools at their disposal, so that images come close to reality. Value, for me, is the tricky thing. To audition scrappy selections for a quilt top, I view them through a small piece of red plastic. Oh, my -- it's all mush! Time to hit the stash again, or (gasp) take a trip to Walmart. Color my quilting life interesting.
Judy Kizler : This series is quite timely. I just got a set of TWO filters hoping they will help with shopping my stash (vs. shopping a preplanned selection of fabric by a designer in the store where you know they are all designed to coordinate). Anyway, the set has a red filter for "warm" colors and a green filter for "cool" colors. Time will tell if they help get through to my understanding. This series should help a lot as well.
Dawn DeCesare : We have a friend with the same last name as you. Makes me smile to remember him whenever I see it because it is not common in these parts. (SD). About this video series ... I know what colors I like, personally, but as a new quilter I've anguished over choosing colors that will be "right" in a quilt and not look like a jumbled mish-mash. I'm hoping this series helps.
@@hollywaddell6727 Its my married name and the hubs is out of the Bronx. I to really struggle with color being that I tend to over think things. I look forward to seeing the other videos from this series. 😁
Hi Everyone, Thanks for stopping by. I can’t believe I made it through the whole winter and caught a cold the last week of spring. So I apologize for the gruff voice. After I started, I realized the topic was too big to tackle in one video. This one is specifically about What is a colour.

Sorry you are sick! Drink lots of water.... lol
Thank you@@reneefelts7232
Wow! I had no idea when I hit play that I would be getting such an in depth explanation. Your examples of using the paint chips and then even the fabrics plus taking the black and white picture was great! Thanks!
😎
I have a graphic design background, but I haven’t in all my years working in the field see such a concise and succinct explanation. No flourishes or side bars, just straight, forward and easy-to-follow information. Kudos. I’m going straight into the rest of this series. Thank you SEW much!
This is the best explanation of color to the uninitiated I’ve ever seen! Thank you!
This is my favorite video series on color. I recommend it to every new quilter I meet.
I find this lady brilliant, she makes it so easy
You are the best quilting channel! Relatable, clear and to the point, and original topics. Thank you!
May I add an AMEN! to this comment. I have shared your videos with my quilting friends and they are hooked, too!
Best description of terms I've ever heard...simple and direct. Thanks.
My head is spinning, but this is terrific information! I think I will have to watch it a couple of times to get it all straight. Thanks so much for doing this series!
It does take time for it all to settle in.
What a wonderful vlogcast. Thank you.

Colour and quilting is a whole new game. Every quilt is a new adventure
Very technically and neatly explained

Im praying for you, Ann and your husband🥰🥰🌸
I think this is going to be a video that I'll be watching over and over again.. n can't wait for the other parts.
Mind blowing! Have never had the color wheel explained so clearly before! Thank you!
You explained color value, hues, saturation where I understood it. I am gob smacked!
You’re an amazing educator! Thank you!

Well done! Love the painting in your background too!
From a PAINT NIGHT party. I was thinking of colour theory the whole time I was painting
Best description I’ve come across yet, thank you!
Thank you
You are the best teacher
🤗☺️🤗
Your explanation was brilliant. I have always struggled with the concepts and how it all works together. I now get it … slowly 😊 Will watch this video again. Thank you so much 💐
Thank you!!!!!!! So understandable and very helpful, especially the saturation and value topics. Looking forward to the whole color series. You are wonderful!
I appreciate your support.
OMG you have blown me away! I have never heard color theory described like this. Thank you soooo much. Am definitely going to watch this again to absorb more! 💫
Wow, first time I've understood this!! I take the photo and desaturate but never understood why!! Thank you, it's SO helpful and easy to understand. My old memory needs replaying this a lot of times but what a great series.
Loved every single second of this video. Incredible job of explaining hues/tones/shade. My geeky heart is full!
My geeky heart really appreciates you saying this. 😊
Fabulous! 🦋💐
Mind. Blown.
Mind blowing! Can’t wait to see the next two videos.
😍
I love that you throw a little real science in your videos!!!
So much fun! And I loved knowing the acronyms
Have to watch this one a few times

Thank you for this video. Looking forward to the next two. I struggle with choosing colors so I am thrilled to be getting your help. You explain things very well!
Wow! Very interesting! I see these words (hue, saturation, RGB etc) but never thought it has so much info behind. Thank you!
They are also in common usage as well as their technical definitions. It was very challenging trying to describe the colours without using them wrong way....like 'shades of tones'...etc.🤪
As a nurse the only colors discussed were wounds and body fluids ... etc. My heart of art and brain craves color. I think this os why I am so drawn to quilting, sewing, drawing, painting, coloring..Thank you from the bottom of my colorful heart for that wonderful im depth and correct explanation. I wish I xould go back and be an artistic quilter as my career. Dont get me wrong I love being a nurse... wish i could have 2 careers...
I feel the same. I have spent a lot of time around grey and blacks. I look back and wonderful how my life might have been different if it had had more colour in it from the beginning.
Thanks very much for this series. I am a stained glass artist and I shall be using this information to make more considered choices in my panels. I feel I have been stuck in a rut with my choices of colours, now I have the knowledge to experiment a bit more!
I think u stopped this lesson at just the right spot. My head is about to explode!😮
I like your info but still confused in my brain with tones- harmony-values- oh well- im gonna try it until I get it, several time- thanks dear Karen Brown- grey is new after all these years! Thank you! For your help- 🥰💕😇
Great explanation, thanks.
Thank you for the history of color lesson, very interesting .
Fabulous. Your detail, history, visuals are top notch, quite professional, appreciated. I’ve been wanting this, and ready for more.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
😎
I love your videos! Great explanation of color; looking forward to what's next. Since my dogs are always with me while I quilt (and most everything else), I love seeing Holly in the background of your walk & talks.
I’m running to paint store! Great, great exercise. Thank you.
👍
Thank you! Wonderfully done!
😊
Excellent discussion! Thank you!

I love discussions of color. Thank you very much. I’ve gotten confused, though, when you talk about the cone and aqua illustration.when it comes to the add’n of white. I thought adding white made a tint, adding grey made tones. Maybe I misheard, but I thought you called adding white to the aqua a tone. Maybe it doesn’t matter if I just understand the concept.
You are correct. It's tints on the top...[sigh]...you have no idea how many times I've watched and edited this and didn't catch that one. Let me see if I can flag that error. Thanks for letting me know.
No worries! It tells me with your great instruction, I got it right. I’m going back to 7th grade art class and freshman chemistry (I’m 63), so it’s fun to pull it all back in again.
Thank you for your explanation of color in “Colour Theory Part 1”. I become easily overwhelmed when entering a fabric store and I hope your series will help me understand and choose colors better. I have a color wheel that has more hues than the ones you’ve shown. Mine also includes “orange-red”, “orange-yellow”, “green-yellow”, “green-blue”, “violet-blue”, and “violet-red”. Can you please explain the difference? Is one better to use than the other? Thank you!
You are amazing! So happy I found your site. I teach a quilting technique that I developed through trial and error and I have a hard time explaining some of my fabric choices. THIS! This video will make my job so much easier --I took lots of notes ;-)
Wow. Such a well taught video. Even for those not into quilting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for the explanation of colors. The visual aids were very helpful.
Thank you
Wow! I’m so glad I found this video. I was quilt educated😃
I totally forgotten all this info in color theory class because I didn't like my teacher in college who taught. Nice simple refresher! Your orange color samples were fabulous! I wish you had taught my color theory class 😢
A customer would come into the print shop to look at their job on the computer monitor, and give the okay to print. Upon seeing the printed job, they'd wonder why it didn't look like the monitor's display. This is an example of light shining through color vs reflected light. The monitor is backlit, passing through the images to one's eye. Light bouncing off the printed page is reflected light. This is why a disclaimer is sometimes seen on Internet shopping pages, noting that an item's color may not be truly represented.
I buy fabric on-line exclusively and have yet to be disappointed. The quality of computer monitors and scanners has leveled out since the 1990s, and web site designers now have more sophisticated tools at their disposal, so that images come close to reality.
Value, for me, is the tricky thing. To audition scrappy selections for a quilt top, I view them through a small piece of red plastic. Oh, my -- it's all mush! Time to hit the stash again, or (gasp) take a trip to Walmart. Color my quilting life interesting.
Thanks for sharing
Judy Kizler : This series is quite timely. I just got a set of TWO filters hoping they will help with shopping my stash (vs. shopping a preplanned selection of fabric by a designer in the store where you know they are all designed to coordinate). Anyway, the set has a red filter for "warm" colors and a green filter for "cool" colors. Time will tell if they help get through to my understanding. This series should help a lot as well.
Filters - thats new since my stroke- duh
Wow now I can finally understand thank you so much for this video. It will remain in my library for future referencing. 😀🌈
Glad to hear
Thank you for explaining color. This video really opened my eyes!
Thank you. Waiting for your next video to bring all this information together. You lose me yet! Lol
Dawn DeCesare : We have a friend with the same last name as you. Makes me smile to remember him whenever I see it because it is not common in these parts. (SD). About this video series ... I know what colors I like, personally, but as a new quilter I've anguished over choosing colors that will be "right" in a quilt and not look like a jumbled mish-mash. I'm hoping this series helps.
@@hollywaddell6727 Its my married name and the hubs is out of the Bronx. I to really struggle with color being that I tend to over think things. I look forward to seeing the other videos from this series. 😁
Kudos! Very thorough and clear.
I will keep this in my playlist.
Thank you, Karen
