I'm glad the video helped you! I would say be careful not to limit yourself too much. As an actual working palette I would recommend the split primary palette. It's a little more versatile but still uncomplicated. Thanks for watching!

To mix a clean purple you have to chose a red that carry a strong color bias of blue and doesn't carry any yellow. Yellow compliments purple and when they mix they desaturate each other

Thanks for watching! Sometimes the fillers they use in student grade paints can cause the color mixes to be less bright than a higher grade paint. But yes, you are definitely right that "muddiness" is typically a temperature problem.

Thanks for the comment! Cerulean Blue Chromium is pretty close to a true cyan as well. My guess is that your mixtures with the teal would be very similar. :)

Thanks for the comment! I also think it depends on how and where you learned. It does seem to be something that a lot of people aren't aware of.

I believe that it is kinda of misleading though. You are still using the traditional colorwheel it is just a little slanted. I disagree with teaching that there is a major difference. Magenta is still on the red side and cyan is still on the blue. The cmy wheel came about because of computer printing. I believe when it comes to pigments and color mixing, it will always depend on your artistic objective. I tend to not to use any of those pigments shown above except for the Cadmium yellow and occasions Magenta. It just depends on your objective.

@RichardBond There is a major difference! He demonstrate this in this very video, if you don't think those violets are that different then you should get an eye exam! And its not because of printing, its because of pigment!

Clarice Perillo Technically and Theoretically all Hue’s on the the wheel is “primary” and has been proven time and time again. You yourself admitted this in a way when you said, “those violets” in reference to his mixes. R + B DOES make a V as does the Teal and the “Magenta” that he used. You are correct that this comes about because of the pigments used but there is so much more to it. CYM “primary” set is just as valid as RYB “primary” set or any other “Triadic Primary” set. The thing is the Value/Chroma relationships, pigment properties, and the distance or nearness of the “mixing primaries” to the target mixed Hue and whether or not they are “true” direct complimentary pigments. Richard Bond is correct though. The “CYM” thing has been known by artists and scientists for centuries but it did not become a real big deal until modern times and the advance in man made pigments. He is also correct when he talks about “primaries” being chosen by individual artists will alway’s depend upon their artistic objectives. The world better relates to the RYB teaching system because the world will generally lump all colors in 4 major universal hue families RYBG. It is also well known among us that even the printing industry knows all of this and know and use even more “primaries” than just CYMBk. It is also, widely known among us that the pigments most often chosen for C & M lay much closer to R then to M and C is just another B with a green bias. Go and look them up on a CIE Lab chart. At least Mr. Walcott used the pigment that is closest to “optimal” C in his demonstration.

@@walcottfineart5088 =) I saw your vid about PR122--- is there a certain pigment I should look for with the Cobalt Teal and Cadmium Lemon? I'm probably making this more complicated than it should be--- but I am curious! I am just starting and learning a lot from your videos!

Thanks for watching! Yes, if the color is fairly close, it will still work pretty well. Any lemon yellow will do. The problem starts to come in when you get a blue that's too violety and a red that's too orangey. I don't know much about Grumbacher's or Chroma's color line, but I do use Lukas! In the Lukas 1862 line, their "Magenta (Primary Red)" is PR 122. Permanent Rose (PV19) will also work. Lukas also has a Cyan Primary Blue and a Lemon Primary Yellow which match up with the CMY colors.
