A key insight when studying color as an artist is that paints don't always mix the way "theory" predicts. I chatted with experienced oil painter and teacher Qiang Huang about this, his research into color, and the digital tools for artists he has created.

This is the kind of color theory I needed as a freshman in art school. Hundreds of gouache swatches that just didn’t add up

Many of us went through similar frustrations 😭

Hi from Montreal! Mind-blowing stuff, thanks for the info! I just started painting again after a very long time and really needed this!

Hi Xania! ❤🧡💛

Thanks for the info! Been doing research into color theory for a side project I'm working on and realizing it's not as straight forward as I originally thought. Research continues!!

Wouldn't the molecular structure of the pigments (based on the source of the pigments) have an impact here? After all, RGB wheel deals with light in the mode of energy. Whereas paint is dealing with matter.

Wow, informative!

Even without the correct theory, many artists nail every color they mix, I am even more impressed by their skills now. 😂

I also discovered this independently plotting watercolor strings on a polar grid. A revelation.

i was looking at mixbox to get an idea of how the additive and subtractive primaries tend to mix and i noticed that the paths for R-C, B-Y. and G-M all bend towards the warmer side of the wheel, do you know why?

from what i could find it seems like just a byproduct of the shape of true color "wheels", but i couldn't find any explanation as to why the shape is laid out like that
