This is a colour tutorial video which highlights some of the difficulties of perception and language in understanding exactly how to mix a colour. Adobe Photoshop is used to show where spot colours of a photograph lie on the spectrum showing that colour in full saturation.
Is the sky Blue? Actually it may be more accurate to say it’s cyan!

Thanks alot for the alternative truths and information 🙂
Amazing, so very helpful. I find colour such a difficult subject considering it's something I love however the colours chosen for a painting can make the difference between looking amateurish and professional. Thanks so much for sharing, more of these please…. :o)
@Scott Naismith, all your videos about colour theory are very helpful for all artists. Thanks a lot!
U r my fav
Great video cant wait till your one about painting better skies thanks for taking the time to share what you know
Thanks!
Your videos are fantastic! SO informative and helpful! Thanks to you I've learned how to blend colors. I've been doing it WRONG my whole life and no, I'm not new to colors or painting and I (thought) I had good knowledge but your videos have turned everything upside down, in a good way. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have one question though … according to the CMY-color wheel, yellow and blue are complementary colors, but this confuses me, because what I learned as a child is that red, blue and yellow are the primary colors, along with green, but you only need red, blue and yellow, because you can create green by mixing blue and yellow (and I have done it that way my whole life and blue + yellow always make green, not grey). I've always only needed red, yellow, blue, black and white and with that I've created all other colors (yellow+red =orange, yellow+blue=green, red+white=pink, red+white+blue=purple (or plum without the white), red+yellow+blue=brown and so on). A tiny bit black would desaturate any of the colors and adding white would soften any color and make it more soft and pastell:ish (like soft apricot or beige, baby pink, baby blue, light yellow, mint green). How come blue+yellow makes grey according to the CMY-wheel?
I've been painting for 10 years without ever knowing anything about colour theory and relying on instinct. Most of the available material on colour theory is dead boring. You make it come alive. Thank you so much. I've learned so much.
wow strange stuff. thanks
This is the only one of your videos on colour that was at all correct I hope people only take this one seriously
You are a wonderful teacher
Thanks for this, has been a helpful series
휼륭합니다
Where cyan comes from? Why we have been taught so different? Thanks for the videos. They have been an eye opening!
IMAGINE THAT…THE SKY IS BLUE BLUE GREEN AS ALWAYS…still a blue…
Its complementary color in your eyes. The sky isn't blue, it's brown. All mankind eyes see complementary color, this is a secret.
I did an experiment where I asked others what they named their colours based on the wheel of (pure saturated) hues (not the RYB version, the CMY/RGB version); not everyone knew what cyan was so it got lumped in with blue or was called blue instead.
nice
