    "The Emotional Color Wheel" is an excellent resource (Book) on the emotional values of color and even includes a lot of cultural connections. It also delves into the use of shapes as well.

    Luminosity is called "value" in the world of painting. In painting, value/luminosity is considered the most important color dimension. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you!

    This is a good starting point, just keep in mind that not only do the colours themselves contribute to the composition and weight of an image, the inter-ratio of any colour to another further modifies this and is just as important.
    E.g. an image with 50% red and 50% green will just be jarring, you will lose the complementry effect.
    An image with 20% red (maybe its just a coat someone is wearing) against an 80% greens surround will establish the overall base of the image (dominance). The highlight or visual point of interest, the colour you are trying to elevate or draw attention to, will stand out more. Colour needs to be focused/targeted to get the impact you desire. Work your harmonies, but also think hard about what it is about each colour, that you want to promote or demote.
    The more colours you introduce, the more complex this ratio can get. This also holds true whether you are using highly saturate hues or muted colours.
    Putting a highly saturated subject that is 50% of your image against a muted complementry colour diminishes the jarring effect, so to just give you a bit more to consider, try to account for saturation too.
    Colours.
    Saturation.
    Harmonies.
    Ratios.
    How you mix these will determine whether you get the effect you want or not.

    Hue
    Tint, tone, shade
    Saturation- muted or more saturation.
    Color temperature- warm and cool.
    Digital-RGB, real workd colors- CYMK
    Luminosity - adding white to britghten but decrease saturation
    Color Psychology
    Color harmony- Analogous, monochromatic, complimentary.
    Why are u shooting what u are shooting and how will color help?
    Spend time shooting one color for 10 days.

    I post processed a snapshot -- my brother in law had the coolest hunting/fishing table. its super low and just fit so perfectly into the ground by this twisted tree all but the roots were dug around. I muted into B/W like The Pond -- thats a little prework before this video
    my next adventure being on Number 4 is to focus on some red. I have targets in the yard and all around my locays. I don't even have a real camera yet this is exciting. Targeting the 5DS for some ASMR Photo walks with a big mic system and my goPro 11 since my phone is minimal on camera will use the GoPro Raws and LRC for "Practice with your phone, save for camera" phase!!!

    Good stuff. A "compliment", with an "i" is what you say when you like someone's sweater. "Complement" with an "e" is what you say when the sweater goes with the pants. It "completes" the look. Colors opposite on the color wheel are "complementary".

    Its always amazing how few views important stuff like this gets compared to gear stuff...... Personally I think you photo assignment is a lot more focused on street photography than anything else, BUT, what is important here is the FEEL.... Often what makes an image interesting is CONTRAST.... and so something WARM around things that are COLD will be compelling (and vice versa). If you are trying to portray serenity.... stick to colors that are close.... and then my favorite advice.... we as humans are naturally seduced by color.... if color isn't an important part of the story/image.... you should probably go black and white (and actually if something does not work in black and white.... you probably don't have a compelling image). Glad I found you buddy.... great to see good content out there that actually helps people become more deliberate in their photography....
