Sessions – Color Theory: Color Wheel
very nice video , thank u
Lovely, it's nice to brush up now and again on color 🙂 Thanks So Much!
Thanks so much for this!
@scottnaismith what????
they are… you cant make them with any other colours, but you can make other colours with them XD
So how would you use black in a colour scheme? Is it just a neutral 'bonus' colour?
but I need pass this module!!!
..anyone`s work hanging in a museum wasn`t wrong. Color theory ain`t Black or White.
..your sphincters wound too tight.
I think they're not talking about 'making colors', instead they're talking about 'matching colors'.
gawd you people are morons…arging about a color wheels. I think I'll believe sessions before any of you people. Thank you.
In Photography, Graphic Design and Video we need to be aware of these two color wheels. This old view on primaries is a great handicap…..
Very confuse can you please make it simple?
pizza azzip
The color schemes you have defined are precisely defining concepts of music theory. The square is defining a fully diminished chord (D#-F#-A-C). Complements are defining tritones (C-F#). The analogous color scheme is defining the sound relationship of Tonic-Dominant-Subdominant (F-C-G), i.e. closely related colors equal closely related notes. In fact, it is the analogous color relationship of the whole color wheel which directly correlates to the Circle of 5ths (Fifths) in sound. The isosceles triangle is defining the sound relationship of chromaticism or tritone substitution.
nice
This is long to read, but for anyone that actually cares about this, please do:….I actually can't believe what I'm reading in some of these comments. People are confusing "Color Models" with "Primary Colors" and "Secondary Colors." These are two different things. RGB and CMYK are Color Models that were created for use in very specific types of machines, and do not represent primary colors or secondary colors. The reason your printer uses CMYK is because your printer uses ink, which relies on a subtractive method of coloring. This means that inks create colors by layering colors onto a white background (i.e. it "subtracts white"). In short, they work by taking away color from whatever background you put them on. This is why you cannot print baby blue ink onto black paper. In fact, they don't even make baby blue ink. What you are seeing as baby blue ink (in a baby blue marker, for example) in fact is just blue that has been diluted with water so that it will pick up more white from the background of the white paper you draw on. Inks work via this layering process. I don't know what idiot is telling you that cyan and magenta make blue (this makes a type of purple) and that yellow and magenta make red (this makes a type of orange). Your printer makes "red" on white paper by laying down more than one layer of magenta numerous times on top of the same surface area. So why does this happen? –> Since ink uses a subtractive coloring process, every time you layer ink on top of ink, the color becomes darker (it subtracts more white each time). However, true pigments don't do this. For example, if I layer magenta oil paint on top of magenta oil paint, I will still get magenta. It won't turn red or get darker at any point. This is because oil paints use "true pigments," which means that they add color to a surface (rather than subtract a color from a surface, as inks do). This is why you can have true baby blue oil paint, but do not typically have true baby blue ink markers (again, it is just diluted blue that picks up more white from the white surface that you draw on). In other words, using a baby blue marker on yellow paper will give you green, if that makes sense (it will show the yellow from the background), but using baby blue oil paint on a yellow background will still give you baby blue, since it is a true pigment. RGB on the other hand is a color model that was created specifically for backlit screens (like computer screens, tablets, cell phones, etc.). If you use a true yellow pigment on a backlit screen (i.e. if you shine a bright light through an actual yellow pigment) then you won't see yellow, you'll see white. So RGB is an altered color model that was created specifically for images shown on computer screens (or backlit screens) to compensate for this problem, just as CMYK is an altered color model that was created specifically for printers to compensate for the problems associated with inks (which use a subtractive coloring process). However, just because you deliberately alter a color model to work around problems created by a specific type of machine, doesn't suddenly mean that the primary colors and secondary colors change. The primary colors are still red, yellow, and blue, and the secondary colors are still green, purple, and orange. This does not change just because you had to create a "deliberately adjusted" color model to work around the problems caused by a very particular medium or machine. Red, yellow, and blue are still the primary colors "even when printers exist" and "even when computer screens exist." They are still the primary colors even when you are working on a computer screen or working with a printer. The term "Color Model" better describes the type of "coloring mechanics" that go on behind the scenes of the machinery to GET the colors that you actually need to pop-out (like "transparent, diluted blue" is the actual "adjusted color" that is "going on behind the scenes" when you are using ink in order to get "baby blue" to pop-out when you use this ink on a white background). In other words, CMYK and RGB are "deliberately messed up" color schemes that are used to compensate for (or work around) machinery that cannot actually use true pigments (like ink and backlit screens). I hope that makes sense.
lol
the japanese and chinese colour wheels are so much more complex than this one.
the fact that you need two words in english to express the colour red-orange or yellow-green etc shows how limited your language and culture is. In Japanese we have a different word for each of those colours in the wheel .
You have about 70 colours in english without using a combination of two words , in japanese we have more than 300 .
Check this out for new ways to use the COLOR WHEEL!
rby?????? nope
