Nice video, very informative! One thing I'd add is that once you include hue, apparent value becomes a complicated subject. Yellows are perceived as brighter than blues even when of the same measured brightness, which is part of why the rainbow skies can be difficult to pull off
@@michaelmorgan8508 for sure, that’s definitely true. Maybe I could’ve went more into that idea here, but just wanted to keep this one simple for beginners. Good topic for a future video though. Thanks for checking it out
Value and color is a really complicated topic IMO. Because even if you understand the basic fundamentals of it, like you explain them in this video, it still feels janky AF. For example, how does one paint in color on the fly while always having proper values? Or, the question that troubles me the most: How does one paint certain colors while not having to bend over because these colors don't make for good value. A good example would be a character with white skin having yellow clothing. I'd want a contrast separation between the skin and the clothing but when I start making the yellow darker to a point where the value read is better, I've totally lost the original yellow color I had in mind.
@@EldritchUniverse great points, and I agree, it is a complicated topic. Too complicated to cover all in one video, so I hope to get more out on the subject. This one in particular was mainly just a small tip for those struggling with being overwhelmed, but I definitely see the value in talking about color theory on this channel more Thanks for the comment and checking out the video, I appreciate it

I use the same principle to edit photos; start with zero hue and saturation, get the light right first, and then switch back to colour
nice, that's cool to know, thanks for sharing
