Not really. This is super basic and is no different to what you learnt in elementary school (you just were not paying attention). There's a ton of info that was skipped. Q: If Blues are cool colors, then what is a warm blue?
Debi Taylor // The title is literally “Color Theory Basics”. Of course it’s going to be basic; this video was meant for those who are beginners. And to answer your question: in the video, she states that color temperatures aren’t always consistent. For example, blue alone will obviously look cool, but when put next to other colors, it can be classified as warm. Warmer blues typically have more of a red tint while cooler blues have more of a cyan/green tint. Hope this helps, 5 months later lol.
This info is exactly what I needed to know and memorize so that I can retain it and move on in learning to color with coloring pencils. It is an old video, but it is so perfect for me. I am so glad you made it and it is still up. I follow a colorist, but she is past the very newbie stuff. You are an angel. I made notes on what you've taught me today lol. I'm getting to be older and more forgetful lol. Thanx again for making this. I looked forever to find just what I needed and this is it.

CMY are primary: Red = Magenta + Yellow Indigo = Magenta + Cyan Turquoise = Cyan + a little of Yellow Purple = Magenta + a little of Cyan Orange = Yellow + a little of Magenta Lime = Yellow + Cyan And what do we have with RYB??? Red and Blue = dirty Purple. Yellow and Blue = dirty Green. It's a contaminated pallet. I do oil painting and deal with pigments on a daily basis.
Matter absorbs the light so it basically does the opposite and the opposite of the RGB rods in your eye are the CMY. You can prove it by taking an image of any of the RGB colors and editing it into negative. Conservative people still can't move on with their childhood primary colors RYB.
Omg this was so helpful and at the simple level I needed for starting out. I’m trying to learn more about colours so that my drawings/art is a little more cohesive, I’m confident in drawing but not so much in adding colours 😅

I believe saturation deals with the amount of pigment on the ground, while intensity is about the purity or degree of neutralization based on mixing the color with its compliment (most dramatically) or other colors. Great video, I wonder how you feel about my take on intensity as being different from saturation.

I'll definitely keep this in mind! Showing other types of design examples will probably be more useful to designers. In general, though, as a designer you decide which colors to use, what level of saturation and what mood to provide based on the purpose of your project. That's why I analyze and explain several works of art on the second half of the video.
The three primary colours are actually magenta, yellow and cyan. Magenta and yellow form red, yellow and cyan form green and magenta and cyan form blue.🥰
@@pathological8231 you’re talking about the additive colour model, but I’m pretty sure we’re talking about the subtractive one. Yes, cyan can be created by mixing green and blue in light, but not paint. XXOrxngeVibesXX is right as he is talking about paint/subtractive mixing, not light/additive mixing.
@@alisonfranyutti5643 cyan cannot be achieved from other colors. That's the point. You can mix cyan with ruby color and you will get BLUE. Because Cyan is primary and Blue is secondary, but not all the way around. Cyan-Magenta-Yellow is what primary colors are called.
I'm a bit confused by the traditional red, yellow, and blue primary color wheel in the art industry. We are all taught from childhood that RYB are the 3 primary colors via which all other colors can be mixed. However, from a scientific perspective, this simply isn't true. Color mixing for the purpose of creating art is based on the subtractive color model. The real 3 primary colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow. With the traditional RYB combination, you can't actually render the full color spectrum. Using only these 3 and mixing them will create a palate that appears muddy and dull. That is why a color printer always uses the CMY combination with the addition of black for shade. Could somebody explain to me why the classic RYB model is more desirable?
Printers use white in a completely different way than a painter does. Most printers don't have or use white ink, they simply adjust the opacity of a color and layers it to create various tones over the white surface it prints on. That is an arduous task to perform if you're not a machine. In painting you can just mix a color with white to create different tones.
For printers, it's CMY. For light, it's RGB. For physical art, RYB seems to have been the most popular, possibly because (relative to CMY) red, yellow, and blue are more easily obtainable pigments. There are a lot of red and blue flowers and minerals, but not so many cyan and magenta. Cultures all over the world embraced pigments that were easy to find. RYB was the long-term result. (Non-researched, btw. Don't quote me.)
I think it depends of where you buy the products. The names just change in some countries. When I buy paint, the primary colors are always labeled Cyan, Magenta and yellow. When I was young, I didn't understand why, because for me, they were just a slightly different red, and a very slightly different blue.
Cosmic Lawnmower 1. If we really cared about the secondaries of light then we would only paint with light. Do you follow and actually use the optimal paints closet to CYM? CYMK are not the “primaries” of subtractive paint mixing either-even though they will give us a much wider range of colors given that we have better modern pigments. The printing industry does NOT follow optimal CMYK just like most of us. Even they actually need and use more dyes/paints/inks outside of common printers AND still have trouble hitting peak colors-especially in the Red to YO area. CMYK also starts out “dull”. That is the nature of subtractive paint mixing. 2. From a “scientific perspective” there is not a set of 3 real “primary” paints in subtractive paint mixing that will make the entire color gamut possible-not even close. Essentially every decently chromatic paint in a triadic set of 3 with one each of A red member, A yellow member, and A blue member can mix every HUE. Notice that I did not say that they will match every paint, color, nor VALUE/CHROMA nor did I limit your choosing of paint. A “primary” paint color and color is ARBITRARY and can be real or imaginary-with only an imaginary set of 3 “primaries” able to define the entire color gamut possible. 3. You were taught “half truths” in grade school in part because of learning level and in part because some can not seem to “de-focus” on the “traditional” RYB colors chosen. You need to know though that most artists choose “primary” paints that will get them as close as possible to what they normally paint to start off with and usually have a couple of “Reds”, “Blues”, and “Yellows”. But it would be correct to say that one can not mix back to the chosen “primaries” in their chosen palette gamut of 3 from the mixes made from them nor can they mix one of the other “primaries” from the other two in the set. Normally no “color” is more intensely saturated as when it comes from the tube and normally a paint has properties that can not be matched by mixing from others and some paints can’t be matched in color at all by mixing. 4. The important things you need to know when choosing a palette is: What is your painting style? E.g. are you a colorist who needs to match bright and vivid colors most of the time or are you more of a realist and need to match more natural colors with the occasional need for bright and vivid? You need to keep in mind paint bias-not “temperature” as many teach (which is relative and confusing for many and should not be used in place of bias)-which way the paint leans in color: does your red lean orange or violet...etc. The last thing you need that is basic to know is: the farther apart 2 paints are from each other-the duller and less saturated the mix will be-and the closer they are-the more intense the chroma will be. To mix as much of the color gamut possible one will need more than just 3 “primary” paints plus raw whitest white plus the blackest black on the market. For in depth theory and a starter palette that has the most bang for the buck, may I suggest that you visit handprint.com? It is from a watercolorists point of view but is easily translatable to acrylics and oils-especially the theory. But I do agree...RYB should not be taught (alone).....but neither should CMYK...start from the beginning with the Human sight “primaries” of RGB then proceed to subtractive mixing involving substance uncertainty. Just like we start with RGB in additive mixing we should also start with RGB in subtractive mixing but (as one scientist said to me) our eyes can not detect the bright spectrum yellow in a mix of RG paints so we start with Y (I could be wrong but it has something to do with the YG reflectance waves that our eyes are already “seeing”). We can mix nice reds, blues, greens, and magenta’s and violets all day long but we have trouble with yellow. This is why we start with yellow instead of green then we proceed to the secondaries. Perhaps this is the MAJOR reason RYB in general is still taught but they never teach why...
Volgen Productions there are more than 5 “primary” colors. But let’s ignore that. Let’s also, take white and black out of the theoretical realm of light and dark and out of neutral and into the world of paints and pigments as colored paints. I will definitely give you white since we can not mix it all all but what makes you say black? I say black is also a “primary” but I am curious as to why you think it is?
I know nothing about this subject. But I could finally understand what shades and lights mean! Thank you very much! Very nice explanation! You can be sure it helped me a lot!
wow i learnt a lot more from this video am so excited that i found this video i liked the video and also i subscribed your channel i hope in future i will learn more from this channel jazakallah
Don't give attention to the uneducated people. They don't know how colors work and the science behind them. In color, there are only two principles, namely, the additive and the subtractive color principle: * LIGHT (RADIANT ENERGY) - When different light hues combine, it will create a lighter combination. It follows the additive color principle and it uses the RGB color model which creates white light when all are combined. * PIGMENT (MATTER) - When different pigment hues combine, it will create a darker combination. It follows the subtractive color principle and it uses the CMY color model which creates black pigment when all are combined. We have 3 cone cells in our eyes which detect red, green, and blue colors. That's why the screens use the RGB color model. Matter absorbs light and pigment is matter, therefore, the pigment does the opposite, the opposite of RGB is CMY. CMY is the more appropriate primary colors since they have a wider gamut (almost all colors) than RYB and can even make colors that RYB can't make. Also, RYB can't create pure black, they will create a grayish brownish muddy mixture and mix darker colors and its secondary colors are too dark and dull to paint different types of paintings. This RGB color model creates a perfect triangle in our color vision that bases off a white light in the center and by far, the most prevalent and effective since it can create pretty much almost perceivable colors and many electronic devices use it. That's why it is also recommended that we should use brighter CMY in arts and mixing colors in schools. IDK why. We should improve our learning, not just being conservative and sticking to the traditional primary colors learned in our childhood. There is not much difference between printing or layering and mixing. Both still add pigments and "subtract" light, so the resulting mixture will be darker. Layering uses translucent medium allowing the light to pass through the media, but the downside to this is that the last color that is layered on top will dominate and give the resulting color a tinge of the last color. Many didn't even know that mixing colors is like mixing a bag of sand or making a checker of alternating colors and seeing them from afar, not knowing that it's actually a mixture by those colors. Paints, crayons, and inks have hues that mix darker mixture, therefore, they are pigments. There are actually so many pigments, including sand, filters on top of each other, pigments found in organisms, food, plastics, cosmetics, color pencils, pastels, markers, etc. The color doesn't matter, the medium does matter. Inks use translucent medium while paints use an opaque medium. If paints use an opaque CMY medium, CMY will work. Why the heck would you use literally translucent CMY inks for painting? These TH-cam videos also prove: th-cam.com/video/ByBsY-2U1kI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/dbcOcZw4g-I/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/747uREIfnVg/w-d-xo.html This proofs also made me think that why are we so conservative that RYB are still taught in schools till this time.
@@renzo6490 No, because the CMY is the perfect scheme. You can substitute Cyan-Magenta-Yellow with Cerulean-Quinacridone-Hansa and the result will be pretty much the same. Won't see a differance. But it's the CMY scheme you orient on. Both oil-paints and ink ARE pigments and DO follow the same CMY scheme.
@@pc6985 she doesn't need to read that article. She already stated correctly that Cyan-Magenta-Yellow are the true primary colors. Cyan-Magenta-Yellow is what you are supposed to mix on paper as your primary colors. But this youtube video suggests Red-Blue-Yellow instead. This video is advertising the wrong set of colors as a primary ones. Cyan-Magenta-Yellow are the true primary colors.
@@pc6985 This video is about pigment. We are mixing paint. The primary color scheme for that is CMY. The video suggested RYB for the pigment. And RYB is not a set of primary colors, neither for pigment nor for light. While we are trying to straighten that out, you start nagging about light. Wrong comment section my friend. This one is about paint, therefore pigment, therefore the CMY scheme. Don't involve unrelated stuff. Video suggested R Y B. The video is wrong. The video is misleading. R Y B paints are not primary.

There are a lot of red and blue flowers and minerals, but not so many cyan and magenta. Cultures all over the world embraced pigments that were easy to find. RYB was the long-term result.
(Non-researched, btw. Don't quote me.)
I think it depends of where you buy the products. The names just change in some countries. When I buy paint, the primary colors are always labeled Cyan, Magenta and yellow. When I was young, I didn't understand why, because for me, they were just a slightly different red, and a very slightly different blue.
Cosmic Lawnmower
1. If we really cared about the secondaries of light then we would only paint with light. Do you follow and actually use the optimal paints closet to CYM? CYMK are not the “primaries” of subtractive paint mixing either-even though they will give us a much wider range of colors given that we have better modern pigments. The printing industry does NOT follow optimal CMYK just like most of us. Even they actually need and use more dyes/paints/inks outside of common printers AND still have trouble hitting peak colors-especially in the Red to YO area. CMYK also starts out “dull”. That is the nature of subtractive paint mixing.
2. From a “scientific perspective” there is not a set of 3 real “primary” paints in subtractive paint mixing that will make the entire color gamut possible-not even close. Essentially every decently chromatic paint in a triadic set of 3 with one each of A red member, A yellow member, and A blue member can mix every HUE. Notice that I did not say that they will match every paint, color, nor VALUE/CHROMA nor did I limit your choosing of paint. A “primary” paint color and color is ARBITRARY and can be real or imaginary-with only an imaginary set of 3 “primaries” able to define the entire color gamut possible.
3. You were taught “half truths” in grade school in part because of learning level and in part because some can not seem to “de-focus” on the “traditional” RYB colors chosen. You need to know though that most artists choose “primary” paints that will get them as close as possible to what they normally paint to start off with and usually have a couple of “Reds”, “Blues”, and “Yellows”. But it would be correct to say that one can not mix back to the chosen “primaries” in their chosen palette gamut of 3 from the mixes made from them nor can they mix one of the other “primaries” from the other two in the set. Normally no “color” is more intensely saturated as when it comes from the tube and normally a paint has properties that can not be matched by mixing from others and some paints can’t be matched in color at all by mixing.
4. The important things you need to know when choosing a palette is: What is your painting style? E.g. are you a colorist who needs to match bright and vivid colors most of the time or are you more of a realist and need to match more natural colors with the occasional need for bright and vivid? You need to keep in mind paint bias-not “temperature” as many teach (which is relative and confusing for many and should not be used in place of bias)-which way the paint leans in color: does your red lean orange or violet...etc. The last thing you need that is basic to know is: the farther apart 2 paints are from each other-the duller and less saturated the mix will be-and the closer they are-the more intense the chroma will be. To mix as much of the color gamut possible one will need more than just 3 “primary” paints plus raw whitest white plus the blackest black on the market. For in depth theory and a starter palette that has the most bang for the buck, may I suggest that you visit handprint.com? It is from a watercolorists point of view but is easily translatable to acrylics and oils-especially the theory.
But I do agree...RYB should not be taught (alone).....but neither should CMYK...start from the beginning with the Human sight “primaries” of RGB then proceed to subtractive mixing involving substance uncertainty. Just like we start with RGB in additive mixing we should also start with RGB in subtractive mixing but (as one scientist said to me) our eyes can not detect the bright spectrum yellow in a mix of RG paints so we start with Y (I could be wrong but it has something to do with the YG reflectance waves that our eyes are already “seeing”). We can mix nice reds, blues, greens, and magenta’s and violets all day long but we have trouble with yellow. This is why we start with yellow instead of green then we proceed to the secondaries. Perhaps this is the MAJOR reason RYB in general is still taught but they never teach why...
Volgen Productions there are more than 5 “primary” colors. But let’s ignore that. Let’s also, take white and black out of the theoretical realm of light and dark and out of neutral and into the world of paints and pigments as colored paints. I will definitely give you white since we can not mix it all all but what makes you say black? I say black is also a “primary” but I am curious as to why you think it is?
I know nothing about this subject. But I could finally understand what shades and lights mean! Thank you very much! Very nice explanation! You can be sure it helped me a lot!
wow
i learnt a lot more from this video
am so excited that i found this video
i liked the video and also i subscribed your channel
i hope in future i will learn more from this channel
jazakallah
This video is extremely useful for beginner! Thank you for this!
Why not Cyan Magenta Yellow?
Jackson John McLean because if you mix those with paint it won't look right
Those are the primary colors for light. This video is about pigments.
Don't give attention to the uneducated people. They don't know how colors work and the science behind them.
In color, there are only two principles, namely, the additive and the subtractive color principle:
* LIGHT (RADIANT ENERGY) - When different light hues combine, it will create a lighter combination. It follows the additive color principle and it uses the RGB color model which creates white light when all are combined.
* PIGMENT (MATTER) - When different pigment hues combine, it will create a darker combination. It follows the subtractive color principle and it uses the CMY color model which creates black pigment when all are combined.
We have 3 cone cells in our eyes which detect red, green, and blue colors. That's why the screens use the RGB color model. Matter absorbs light and pigment is matter, therefore, the pigment does the opposite, the opposite of RGB is CMY. CMY is the more appropriate primary colors since they have a wider gamut (almost all colors) than RYB and can even make colors that RYB can't make. Also, RYB can't create pure black, they will create a grayish brownish muddy mixture and mix darker colors and its secondary colors are too dark and dull to paint different types of paintings.
This RGB color model creates a perfect triangle in our color vision that bases off a white light in the center and by far, the most prevalent and effective since it can create pretty much almost perceivable colors and many electronic devices use it. That's why it is also recommended that we should use brighter CMY in arts and mixing colors in schools. IDK why. We should improve our learning, not just being conservative and sticking to the traditional primary colors learned in our childhood.
There is not much difference between printing or layering and mixing. Both still add pigments and "subtract" light, so the resulting mixture will be darker. Layering uses translucent medium allowing the light to pass through the media, but the downside to this is that the last color that is layered on top will dominate and give the resulting color a tinge of the last color. Many didn't even know that mixing colors is like mixing a bag of sand or making a checker of alternating colors and seeing them from afar, not knowing that it's actually a mixture by those colors.
Paints, crayons, and inks have hues that mix darker mixture, therefore, they are pigments. There are actually so many pigments, including sand, filters on top of each other, pigments found in organisms, food, plastics, cosmetics, color pencils, pastels, markers, etc. The color doesn't matter, the medium does matter. Inks use translucent medium while paints use an opaque medium. If paints use an opaque CMY medium, CMY will work. Why the heck would you use literally translucent CMY inks for painting?
These TH-cam videos also prove:

th-cam.com/video/dbcOcZw4g-I/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/747uREIfnVg/w-d-xo.html
This proofs also made me think that why are we so conservative that RYB are still taught in schools till this time.
This is a very educational video on colors & color formation.
No.... cyan magenta and yellow are the true primary colors
Do we need to make a distinction between primary colors used in printing and primary colors used in pigments like oil paint?
CMY are more like the virtual primary colors or CMYK are usually used in printers
@@renzo6490 No, because the CMY is the perfect scheme. You can substitute Cyan-Magenta-Yellow with Cerulean-Quinacridone-Hansa and the result will be pretty much the same. Won't see a differance. But it's the CMY scheme you orient on.
Both oil-paints and ink ARE pigments and DO follow the same CMY scheme.
@@pc6985 she doesn't need to read that article. She already stated correctly that Cyan-Magenta-Yellow are the true primary colors.
Cyan-Magenta-Yellow is what you are supposed to mix on paper as your primary colors. But this youtube video suggests Red-Blue-Yellow instead. This video is advertising the wrong set of colors as a primary ones.
Cyan-Magenta-Yellow are the true primary colors.
@@pc6985 This video is about pigment. We are mixing paint. The primary color scheme for that is CMY.
The video suggested RYB for the pigment. And RYB is not a set of primary colors, neither for pigment nor for light. While we are trying to straighten that out, you start nagging about light. Wrong comment section my friend. This one is about paint, therefore pigment, therefore the CMY scheme. Don't involve unrelated stuff.
Video suggested R Y B. The video is wrong. The video is misleading. R Y B paints are not primary.
Loved your crisp and clear explanation and your humor!
Nerd life
That video contained a lot of information most of which I really didn't know some of the concepts I knew already but never heard him defined very interesting and thank you very much
you're really cute
Best explanation of Color Theory. Thank you.
I followed you from Egypt and your explanation is very full💪♥️
Everything you said made total sense! GREAT EXPLANATION 😅👍🏾
Thank you so much for sharing this! Quick and straight to the point, I love it!
God bless you all!
I really love this . I’m a show my 6 yr old daughter this , and apply it to my fashion life. New sub.
Thank you very much.....This really helped me a lot...especialy that it is already out examination tommorow...
Thank you for this video! Our class was able to learn about basic color theory in practice!
Clearly i don't know about color,but when i have been seen your video then i can almost clear about color wheel.This video is too much helpful to me❤️🥀
Loved this and Mila was the cherry on top.
Very helpful, very important, but very hard to master. Great job, Thank you...
My professor actually had us watch this video and it’s very helpful so thank you

Thank you for keeping it simple and short! It was very helpful!!
I know it’s 5 years later, but thank you for the video. It was very quick, concise and a perfect start to understanding color theory.
Super interesting video about this topic. I've found it by mistake but really happy to be here. Thanks for sharing this! 😊
I liked your video very much, quick, to the point, and informative. Only thing I wanted for in the end was to have it all in one place on a chart for reference. Nice job.
Thanks for sharing. Colours are so much clearer for me! 🙂
Very Good video. The best I've seen with the basics, clear and concise! Thanks
If you're painting with light, note that the primaries are Red Green and Blue.
Please make this a video 4 children!! It's needs 2 be added 2 Kid TH-cam!! This's the best video I've found, 2 teach my toddler with!!
Excellent basics video! Lots of information, to-the-point and something I'll refer to often. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Great course! Thank you so much!
Great summary. I just love the way she just came up showing herself. You're really beautiful and obviously fun to be with. You're the best

thanks for the tips, its going to help me with my mapping and gis exam tomorrow :) this video was really friendly and easy to understand and super helpful!
thank you very much it helps me a lot
Your explanation is very clear and easy to understand. Thanks for the video :)
your all videos are great .short , to the point and well explained.
TY, TY, TY! This was very helpful. Explained quite well...I’ll be referring to this video quite often when painting. 🤩
Greeeeaaat video!!! Someone else already said but put it on a loop and make your own chart/reference page!!!
Though I took a whole class on this, this was a great refresher.
Thank you so much for doing this! I'm not yet familiar with colors and paint so this will help me. So tysm
i feel kinda smart bc i knew quite a few of the things in this video but i also learned some new stuff too! this vid was super helpful!!
