The primary colors are magenta, cyan & yellow, which always triggers me in such a way that the secondary colors often result in orange, green & purple instead of red, green & blue (Image: 😖) Orange & purple are actually tertiary colors, magenta & yellow are the same Divide red and not orange, Orange results from mixing more yellow than magenta, Magenta & cyan result in equal parts blue and not purple, Purple results from mixing more magenta than cyan,
I know EXACTLY what the problem with the mixing is, the magenta and cyan most people use isn't actually magenta and cyan but more like fuchsia (Pink + Red) and azure (Cyan + Blue). To know what the subtractive primary colors should actually look like, search a HEX color code and put the HEX codes for those colors: Cyan = #00FFFF Yellow = #FFFF00 Magenta = #FF00FF
Both of what she talks about (and other) systems work too. Be open to them ALL plus colored filters (as in theatrial lighting and rgb monitors). I like the way she's presenting this. Overwhelming young kids with too much of this info might get them confused. For them, start with something easy and available and grow from there. Use what works best for you !
You can make close to a black by adding more blue. Using Prussian blue will make basically a black when mixed into a brown. For example Prussian blue and raw umber make basically a cool toned black.
I know I'm just being a bit pedantic here but in the CMY colour theory the secondary colour between magenta and yellow should be red, leaving orange as a tertiary colour. As you say though colour theory is taught differently at schools / college. It used to confuse me how the primaries in additive theory (i.e. computer screens) was RGB with secondaries of CMY, whereas traditional colour theory has RYB as primaries giving OGP as secondaries in subtractive theory. it made sense to me that additive colour theory should be the polar opposite of subtractive colour theory. Therefore:: Additive = primaries (RGB) secondaries (CMY) Subtractive = primaries (CMY) secondaries (RGB) CMY colour theory used to really only be used by the print industry, but nowadays more artists are becoming aware of these as primaries. I don't know how widespread CMY is being taught in art colleges nowadays, as my college days were quite a number of years ago and RYB was still being taught in subtractive colour theory. As proof that CMY are primary colours when it comes to pigment, it is impossible to mix cyan from any combination of RYB, likewise if red was a primary colour by definition it couldn't be created by mixing two colours together, which it can when you mix magenta and yellow. Good old yellow though, it's the only primary colour that has stayed a primary colour between traditional subtractive theory and modern subtractive theory.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and perspective on color mixing . You make some very valid points! I don't teach red as a secondary color on my color wheel only because it takes such a small amount of yellow mixed in with magenta to make red . The students I teach were taught the RYB model in elementary school. I pretty much show them how to make the same colors they learned previously, but using CYM. :)
After watching this video, I think red is better as a tertiary. Because when you see the full color wheel she made, the opposite colors are perfectly placed with orange being opposed to cyan and red to green.
@@nickytembo4112 She placed purple opposit to yellow 3:01 And then blue opposit to yellow-orange 6:38. That blue is a shade between purple&cyan.. Naturally, it's opposit to what's between yellow&orange.
This was so easy to follow and great tips to easily make colors! Only suggestion I'd make is to show us your palette as you mix so we can get a visual on what little bit of each color you're referring to as you paint! Thank you again for a great video!
What a great video, I am looking to mix hair colours with the 3 “primary” colours and this is a nice video to have as a guide, thank you for your effort ;)
Not sure if mixing hair colours will have the same results (if there chemicals involved).. For example, I know when mixing glazes for ceramics, because of the physical and chemical changes that occur during the firing process, the results are not the same as mixing color pigments/paints. I'd be curious to know if the cmy color mixing model works with your medium. :)
How come I was never told that when mixing two colors, always use less of the darker one? I figured that out the hard way, but I thought it was situational. I was never taught that. Thank you!
The secondary colours are incorrect. You’re not making the correct difference by using more of the light colours-you should always use the same amount. You should get red and blue instead of orange and purple. Edit: It’s at least better than dumb folk who think that painting and printing have different primary colours even after they are presented with undeniable evidence
Wouldn’t mixing equal amounts of Cyan and Magenta equal a Blue Violet and equal amount of Magenta and Yellow equal Red Orange? If the mixture of Magenta and Cyan would have to complement yellow and turn it grey/black, Violet Blue would be the option as Middle Blue would make it like dull green. Best option for a Violet Blue would be Ultramarine Violet (Blue Shade) with a pigment number of PV15, and is available in Blockx, Da Vinci, Maimeri Blu, and Windsor and Newton. The same goes as a warm Orange Red would be a perfect complement and the Cool Red in between Magenta and Warm Red would make muddy purple and violet due to the magenta in the red. Best option can vary but Pyrrol Scarlet (PR255) or Pyrrol Orange (PO73) would work best.
Um, the ryb color model is actually incorrect because blue and yellow make muddy green and red and blue make muddy purple. So cyan, magenta, and yellow are the true primary colors. Cyan and yellow make a good looking green and cyan and magenta make a good nice looking blue or indigo. We included black as the primary color because cyan, magenta, and yellow can't make perfect black or is wasteful to make. And also, red and blue aren't the primary colors of paint because red can be mixed from magenta and yellow and blue can be mixed from cyan and magenta.
I was soo confused with why my primary red and primary blue never made purple… until I took graphic design class and nobody told me why they use it but I thought ab the colors since I know how color mixing works and thought “so if u mix magenta and cyan… it gives u a bright purple….” And realized thatsss why they use cmy… u have more options. If u want to make it look more dull or natural rather than vibrant u can also just add black or hints of other colors into the mix too it’s genius
Why do people always use the wrong hues of cyan and magenta? Like, that magenta is too reddish and that cyan and is too bluish, wich results in wrong outcomes.
This started out right but went wrong so quickly! You had the right primary colours but the secondary colours are red, green and blue not orange, green and purple… Orange and purple are in fact both tertiary colours.
0:31 Well no, red blue and yellow is incorrect. to be primary colors it has to be unable to be created from mixing two other colors and it has to be able to mix all the other colors from it. And in neither additive light colors or subtractive pigment colors is red blue yellow a set of primary colors
But what are the actual colors that you're using? Is the cyan a phthlo + white or a cerulean blue? Is the yellow a cadmium, Hansa, Azo, or arylide? Thanks.
Cyan is cyan, it's not mixed with anything, it's not called anything but cyan. Look for a color called Primary Cyan, also look for Primary Yellow and Primary Magenta. Look for colors called exactly that.
@@teresa_wiggins_gallery Cyan is the color of blue light. It is not a pigment. It must be mixed from other pigments. Different manufacturers use different formulas for cyan which produce various results.
I completely agree. This was my first video I made for my students at the beginning of the pandemic last year...uncut and unedited ... and recorded from my cell phone. I felt like a one-man band . LOL . Fortunately, now I have an awesome set up at school with multiple cameras and monitors that allow students to see so much more of my demonstrations and examples. So I'm still a one-man band... but with much better instruments :) I appreciate your feedback.

Just discovered the CYM idea yesterday, and this is a great visual for how they blend to make lovely secondary and tertiary colours! Thanks for this!

No wonder I got pissed so much painting with red, blue, yellow, black, and white paint
Colors red and blue are already secondary colors, so hence why mixing colors to them would make a desaturated mixture.
You are an excellent teacher! I will never forget tertiary (though I'm dyslectic and will never spell it right lol)
Thank you so much for this video, I am thankful to you 💕

Idk if anyone beat me to it but one error is that an even mixture of true cmy does make black or grey depending on the type of paint or ink
