So great! This is THE ONE! The video I’ve been searching for! Thank you. Thank You. Thank you! I have the 34 pure pigment Mijello Mission Gold set and the 36 “ mixed pigment” set. And some W&N…And am filling up a Quiller Pallette. ( actually Meeden, same one as Quiller for 40$ US instead of 125$ for the Quiller). Learning SO much from your channel. I’ve been swatching for weeks now. So, this video is so very helpful. You’re the best! 👍🖌🎨🙏🏻
Awesome video! I keep watching and watching for the past two weeks. It’s so informative and it’s helpful for me to see what colors to get. Thank you Oto!
I think it’s interesting that you put dioxazine purple as the (A), the earlier videos were verrrrry intent on having a blue shade ultramarine violet in that spot. I think you could go back and test some of the other brands, then, because dioxazine purple is a wildly different color!
I think it depends on the neutralised colour one wants. The bluer violets tend to make more neutral greys with yellows (and also with yellow oranges and yellow greens), but a Dioxazine makes a warmer shade. I suppose different brands lean slightly warmer or cooler in their Dioxazine purples, that will for sure make a difference in mixing so I agree that some experimenting with that could be fun. ☺️ Stephen Quiller writes about how a neutralised colour is a mix in which you can no longer tell which colors you started out with, so you end up somewhere in the spectrum of browns, greys and blacks. I think Dioxazine Purple tends to fit squarely into the spot for mixing with yellows for that reason, although I personally prefer a more blue violet for that purpose.
Thank you for the video! These mixes were so cool to see! I actually used your previous color wheel videos to create a mini circle palette as a gift for a friend :D
Thank you so much! So interesting. So helpful! Can’t believe next time is the last episode. I always used Bismuth V. Yellow as my cool yellow. But just because I didn’t know better 😊
i just want to say thank you for your color wheel/theory videos!! i dabble in watercolor but picked up your DS colors to do the color wheel with them(before this video came out of course) and i just love the calming of mixing different colors with this palette!
Excellent information. After seeing your swatches, I decided to go with Trans. Red Oxide in place of Burnt Sienna, and Hookers Green is so beautiful.. I had to pause and order both lol! Thank you so very much!
funny thing here, i just now realized how q. magenta & q. red can be used as cool & warm, at least to my eyes in this vid i see them that way. i have always chosen one or the other to put in my pallets because i thought they were too close to the same color but now i am gonna be brave & use my two fav reds. lol as usual your vids are amazingly educational. tfs
Hi! I'm watching & rewatching all your videos about colour theory. Finally I'm able to learn everything that I always wanted to know but couldn't find explanations! Thank you! ❤️ Have you created these same combo suggestions for any of the other paint manufacturers like Daniel Smith? I've created my/your split primary pallet using mostly Daniel Smith but would love to know other colours to mix with each of the DS warm & cool primaries! I plan to watch every video you've created so may find the answer to my question.
Even not being fond of QoR. But I really like your videos. Entertaining, full of insight and with a calming effect. Thanks for your work and all the best for you.
Considering my maiin studio palette is mostly Qor with one Holbein color, its nice to see some colors you used that are different from mine. I am trying to finish the cobalt violet well, and I think I will be replacing it with Quin Violet because cobalt violet is just a bit too annoying to rewet and work with when its not fresh out of a the tube.
This is SO helpful. Oto what would you use instead of Cadnium Orange in this colour wheel ? I am trying to stay clear of Cadniums. Any suggestions ? Thanks Ruth
I like the idea of a color wheel palette (and that’s what I use more or less), but it’s odd to design a palette around mutually neutralizing pairs. I never mix neutrals from just two components, often with three or four. So for me it’s more about liking the individual pigments that are distributed semi-uniformly around the color wheel. Having said that, your mixes are very inspiring.
that’s part of it but it’s also to be able to control when you get mud or not. A lot of people struggle when they color mix when they get ‘muddy’ colors (i.e. neutralised colors) and don’t know why. This system helps them avoid that when they don’t want that. I’m super glad you have your own way of arranging colors.
So Dr Kano; The message below is to fellow artiste/teacher/colour pigment queen, Jane Blundell. (I also spoke about doing some urban sketching in our Botanical Gardens together, and her recent art exhibition. She is working on her second book to publish soon, with Daniel Smith pigments, mixing triads....) ******* "So I saw this video and wondered if you have seen it? I am pretty sure you follow Dr Kano, this video, is her most recent, and I really like her alternative mixing neutral choices, on the large circles per sheet. Very simple, large and lovely. I particularly like the ultramarine violet and hookers green neutrals at timestamp 12 mins and 18 seconds. I also love the ultramarine violet with the cool yellows neutrals. and finally the quin violet and olive green neutrals. Anyway, this video is really refreshing...."

While good as a learning exercise, this palette uses pigments that I would never use because of lightfastness issues, especially Dioxazine Violet, Hansa Yellow, and Diarylide Yellow. Manufacturers have a tendency to use the masstone lightfastness ratings for colors, but we almost always use colors in mixtures as shown in the swatches here and in mixtures the colors used fall to an unacceptable level. Thus I would also never use Hookers Green. The Quinacridones I might possibly use in masstone, but not in mixtures in oil paint, but the same pigment in watercolor I would not fully trust. We tend to forget that watercolor is the harshest environment for pigments. Colors that are okay in oil paint will often fade rapidly in watercolor. This means that it is in watercolor that we need to be most restrictive of the colors we use unless the artwork is intended only for temporary use.
Also agree with comment below that QoR should partner with you on a color wheel palette set! Maybe with a special tin with color wheel dents in the lid- I love that feature of their tin sets.
This is brilliant Oto, I hope one day QoR someday partners with you to publish a Dr. Oto Kano 12 color set!

Thanks Oto. Brilliant! I loved the color wheel pallet and theory. It helped me understand so much.🥰
Thank you so much! So interesting. So helpful! Can’t believe next time is the last episode. I always used Bismuth V. Yellow as my cool yellow. But just because I didn’t know better 😊

Aw you are so welcome! Thank you so much for trying it out, and for watching the videos!
QoR is my favorite brand. I couldn't get by without their Sap Green, Viridian, or Nickel Azo Yellow! It's fun to see how different our faves are.
Excellent information. After seeing your swatches, I decided to go with Trans. Red Oxide in place of Burnt Sienna, and Hookers Green is so beautiful.. I had to pause and order both lol! Thank you so very much!
Aw yay! I hope you enjoy those lovely new colors!
