Have you ever wondered how some artists are able to find perfect color combinations that just seem to work, every time? In this video, I’m going to show you how to use the color wheel and color harmonies to choose color combinations that look GOOD.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
– Basic color theory: What is the color wheel?
– What are the primary colors?
– What are secondary and tertiary colors?
– What is the difference between hue, color saturation, color value, and color temperature?
– What is the difference between warm red and cool red?
– What are color harmonies?
– What are monochromatic colors?
– What are complementary colors?
– What is a split-complementary color scheme?
– What is a triadic color scheme?
– What are tetradic colors?
– What are analogous colors?
– How can I use color harmonies to choose colors?
– How can I use color palettes?
We’ll cover the 6 different types of color harmonies, including plenty of example color palettes:
1. Monochromatic colors
2. Complementary colors
3. Split-complementary colors
4. Triadic colors
5. Tetradic colors
6. Analogous colors
We’ll be using the traditional RYB color wheel throughout this video, with the primary colors Red, Yellow and Blue. There are other color wheels (RGB and CMY) that are often used for better color mixing, but the RYB color wheel is still the best for working with color harmonies.
If you want to take a deeper dive into the other color wheels and color theory, check out my next video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRQmV4XYmqI

Thanks!
Hello from India 🇮🇳, Congrats
This is really an amazing video..I have been struggling with colour for sometimes. I will try this out… ❤❤❤
GREAT!
תודה!
Not enough people is complaining about how wrong red-yellow-blue is, your rgb/cmy color wheels arent even the same colours!
@AlphaDTFPrint, your insights are so helpful! 💯 Have you tried DTF for apparel printing? I'd love to hear your experiences! 👕🌈
Love it ❤
I've been watching your videos a lot lately and my graphic design course at Southern New Hampshire University just sent me to your video!!!
And also the wave method of building color palette
this is great!
If voices were colours, yours would be bright and vivid and undoubtedly part of a wonderful colour scheme. That was a brilliant explanation and the visuals were helpful, interesting and terrific. Thank you!
No. It is COLOUR theory.
Thanks!
❤
Great 👍 👌
Thank you! This was straight to the point
This is incorrect misinformation. To start with, the primary colours are not red, yellow and blue.
10/10 video
I'm using this for my fursona
Think before you simp 😊
fantastic
I……need to take notes lol.
2:32 the shade like ik its dark and red but i would prefer to do a sshade with some dark blue to make a red hsad it would look better
omg this finally is what i needed, every color theory tutorial only tells you basics on color mixing and not the things that you actually should know that nobody shows, thanks sarah once again
Thank you so much, you helped me alot❤
Youre just wow❤
The best video I've ever watched.

Hi Sarah (or anyone with an answer) I have your Color Theory for Beginners, Colour Catalogues and Companion.
I'm trying to find the right Polychromos pencil colours just to fill in the primary, secondary and tertiary colours on the colour wheel.
Can anyone help? I have the full set (120) of Polychromos.
How do you make these animations? great video
