HOW TO PREDICT PAINT MIXTURE RESULTS! 

Aren't cyan, magenta and yellow the primary pigment colours?

Wait they aren't?

Yes ​@@99temporal

​​@@smailydudethe primary are magenta cyan and yellow, red blue and green are secondary, it's the inverse on computer since it's using lights

@@neolordie That's not quite accurate. Red and blue aren't secondary, they are just skewed versions of cyan and magenta. Red, blue and green are the primary colors in light though.

This is why I really like the Android games I Love Hue and I Love Hue Too. They are scrambled colour puzzles and I am always amazed at how colours can appear different depending on their neighbours.

Me too! It looks like it would actually be useful. 😂

Cuz that's sadly how it always works. I can't tell you how many women I know who were vital to scientific research only to have their names omitted from the study.

Handprint.com is seriously the color theory gateway drug

Search on google “Moriarty color wheel buy” and you might be able to find it. I’m looking now and the seem to be sold out in a lot of places.

The best cyan is PB17... Never forget what they took from us

@Drezrale Pb17, a discontinued pigment? OH has a PB16. Carribean Turquoise, i think it's called. If a thalo is your primary mixing blue, cobalt teal still has some utility as a blue for lightening other blues with reduced or zero white paint needed since it's in the mid-value range.

@@SnkobArts PB16 is very different than pb17. I use cobalt teal(PG50) a lot myself but the issues with quality control from BASF have been awful in recent years as they keep throwing orange pigment into it to "tone it down"

@Drezrale That's bizarre about the orange pigment; why would they adulterate it like that? I've been using the turquoise version of the pb28, which is about Value 4-5 in darkness. I make my own paints. Seems like there's a bit more info about PB16 than PB17, the subsequent being unrated by ASTM, but rated excellent in independent tests... so what's the difference? They are both blue greens.

@@SnkobArts It's actually not that bizarre with the orange pigment when you figure out that pigments are not made for artists but they're made for industrial applications and artists are just a afterthought because there's such a small market segment. The biggest market segment is generally speaking automotive so a lot of pigments are controlled by them and their demands, followed by house painting and other types of things of that nature and they don't care about the purity of a single pigment. I think sad tuna might have swatches of both PB16 and PB17, I know dirty blue still sells PB17. PB16 is much darker and more rich of a color while PB17 is much lighter and more towards the blue spectrum, It's also for a phthalo 17 has actually a shockingly low tint strength, It's still really high but it's not as high as most of the other ones and it's much more manageable. I think currently the only one that doesn't have a ridiculous tint is 15:4 but that's also kind of hard to find outside of printer ink and higher end paint companies.

He did upload a new version with less spice

It has to do with a) The way spectral absorption and scattering profiles of pigments interact when you mix them and b) the sensitivities of the different cone cells in the eye. A good topic for a follow-up video

@@ColorNerd1what about the colors that dont cross that line i.e the ones with triangle to the letter j in 0:57

As far as I know, yes

Also, great video and presentation of info

How accurately does the camera capture colours? Was the camera calibrated? What colourspace was used to record the video? Was that maintained when it was uploaded to RU-vid? Is your display calibrated? How accurate is your display without calibration? Colour is a complex matter, whether physically or digitally.

@@sendi_sen Indeed!

What pigments does Moriarty consider as ideal cyan, magenta and yellow, please?

3:05 It’s interesting that this plot places magenta opposite green rather than the more traditional red. It makes sense to me because PV19 and PR122 mix blacks with PG36 and sometimes PG7. Different brands will give you different results, hence my bundling of PV19 with PR122 and PG7 with PG36. I am aware of the difference between all of these pigments.

He's in a couple videos on YT talking about his research I think

Thanks.
