I know nothing about color theory, painting is my new hobby that I started, and love learning about colors. Fascinating, though I have to start from the veeery bottom… nevertheless, learning and more motivated❤
Good stuff but a few improvements could be made: 1. Most of the positions are too low. None of the pure hues gets as low down to 20% brightness and yellow is closer to 95%+. 2. They should not curve so much, the inflection points are corners rather than curves and the points between the minima and maxima are fairly straight, not like a loopy roller coaster. 3. Conventions usually start the spectrum at red and move from left to right through yellow, green, etc. 4. The steepness of the height differences between the minima and maxima vary greatly. Between cyan and blue are the steepest, then red and yellow, blue and magenta, and the steepness between yellow to green, green to cyan, and magenta to red are quite shallow. Loving your videos though, some great stuff. Would love to chat about this stuff some time.
@@ColorNerd1e.g when mixing magenta and cyan, the resulting color (blue) is darker and duller than the component primaries. The mix comes at the cost of saturation and maybe lightness. Intuitively, it seems like the resultant value would average out but it seems to lose lightness.
@@hippopotamusboschNo, that's just a result of the material properties of the specific pigments you used. Different pigments behave differently when mixed, even if they are the same color. Really what you have to think about here is additive color mixing. The blue wavelength cones in our eyes send the smallest electric signal to a brain. Green wavelength cones in our eyes send the largest electric signal to the brain. Yellow is brightest because it is pure Red + pure Green. Cyan is second brightest brecause it is pure Blue + pure Green. Then comes pure Green with neither of those mixed in. Then Red+Blue, then Red, then Blue.
