Color Theory for Beginners | FREE COURSE

[@abignothing]

so many color wheel/color theory videos dont cover RGB, CYMK, and the process of actually creating color palattes with intention. the saturation test is something ive never seen before. this is incredible, thank you so much!

[@timepasssss2746]

Thankyou for this! As a designer I always find it quite difficult to decide what color the font should be and what color the background should be. Color makes a design so visually appealing and a beginner always gets stuck with choosing the right color for the elements. In spite of so less views on some of your videos, you guys always stay professional and bring such high quality content for us for absolutely free. Breaking down such complex concepts in so easier and understandable manner. Kudos for your work guys! Don't stop making these.

[@mauriciolee7349]

As of today, May 13th, 2024, out of more than 6 videos on COLOR THEORY I've watched, yours is the BEST and UNIQUE. It's because of the following reasons. 1. IT covers ALL the color terms I need for photography and design. The definitions are easy to understand and accurate. 2. It''s COMPREHENSIVE because it also shows how to create color palettes. 3. It contains ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES such as the polygon backgrounds, the logo in the Color Psychology section, etc. The downside is the word "color scheme" is used without definition. NO WONDER it has been viewed 159 THOUSAND TIMES. Thank you very much.

I feel like colour theory is important for many different people. For painters, sketchers, interior designers, photogrophers, editors, models, fashion designers, etc. This is a vital part of those jobs and a lack of this knowledge is what separates an amateur from a professional. Its a very crucial subject to know.

[@MB-in9eu]

Very helpful with combining colors! I’m not an artist or graphic designer; just new at scrapbooking! Great presentation packed with loads of content! I think I just took a color theory course! Thank you for the much needed education!

[@renzoodorico7848]

I'm not sure how you are using the black rectangle. Are you using it to judge both value and saturation? The value comparisons I can see when placed against the black rectangle, but I'm not sure I understand how you judge the saturation. Finally, in judging the values (and for that matter the saturations) are you aiming for an even gradation between values and between saturations, or are you looking for similar values/saturations, or are you just looking for what pleases you eye and what you know from experience will work. Thank you, this tutorial is very informative and presented so that it can be easily applied.

[@martinsoluwatobi8344]

I have the same question

[@lucianmodiga815]

I was wondering the same, because it was confusing for me

[@occultteachings6261]

same question

[@lirgonia]

i almost missed it but she said to set the transparency on that from "normal" to "color", bring it to the front and it does what you see in the video.

[@lilipetrosyan641]

make a black rectangle on the top of the "color squares " . Than go to window-transparency and change "normal" to " saturation" . Done !

[@ronojit8195]

This is a wonderful tutorial - thank you for sharing. Can you elaborate on the saturation test and show how to do this? Specifically, how do you use the black rectangle to make the swatch colors change to grey scale? Thanks!

Olá, meu nome é Willys, sou do Brasil e achei esse tutorial sobre cores muito bem explicado. Como não falo inglês, muitos tutoriais que assisto parecem carros sem freio rua abaixo, pois falam tão rápido que não consigo ler e pensar/analisar ao mesmo tempo, dificultando meu raciocínio. Esse tutorial foi fácil pra acompanhar e entender, pois é falado devagar. Muito bom!

Can this be applied to film production and editing as well? I see similar patterns in film so I’m assuming this correlates with it?

[@karelberanek1007]

Fun fact: when you look at sun you see warm colors. If you would somehow manage to increase the heat of the sun and make it warmer, it would change color. It would start red, then yellow, white and finally blue. The fun fact is that the colder a color is, the warmer feel it has. And if you warm up the color, it will start to feel cold. So when speaking about color temperature you should be aware that it can be either the "feeling" (as used in videos like these and graphics in general) or an actual temperature (usually measured in Kelvins). You have probably noticed that when buying a LED light bulb. The vendors state there the temperature in degrees of Kelvin. Did you notice that 2700 K is warm light but 4000 K is cold light? I never understood why this "warmth" feeling works this opposite way. Does it have anything to do with red being close to infra-red? I wondered why blow torch starts with red/orange flame but when heated up it turns into cold blue. Either way, warm vs cold feeling does depend on the amount of red and yellow (the more the warmer) and blue (the more the colder). Adding these tints helps to make a color warmer/colder. One of the very few operations which is easier in RGB.

[@envatotuts]

Hi! That’s a fascinating breakdown of color theory and its relationship with perception and physics. You've covered a lot of ground, from emotional warmth to Kelvin temperatures and even RGB editing-well done! It's intriguing how colors play such different roles depending on context. Cheers!

[@dinanath5250]

Does rgb and cmyk colour are different? Means in rgb red colour is red but in cmyk red colour is different?

[@pranaytony]

RGB (Red Green Blue) is for Digital Screens and Web Purposes! CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow Key(Black)) is for Printing Purposes!

[@KevinTran-mq2bn]

Yes

[@AminaAzzmouri]

I'm new to this, so can someone explain to me why do we need to use a black background, what are we comparing exactly?

[@envatotuts]

Hi! A black background is often used in design to create contrast, making colors stand out more vividly. When you place colors on a black background, they tend to pop, and it's easier to see how the colors work together in terms of brightness, contrast, and saturation. It helps to compare the colors without any distractions or interference from other elements in the design. This also shows how the colors behave in darker environments, which can be useful for certain types of designs like web graphics or branding. Hope this clears things up! Cheers!

why do we need the saturation test?

[@envatotuts]

Hi! The saturation test helps spot if colors work well together, even without relying on brightness or hue. It’s a great way to check balance and contrast purely based on intensity. 🎨 Cheers!

Interesting you start off with the Painting color wheel (RYB) versus the digital color wheel since all your examples are digital (RGB), and you don't address the change of color space when introducing RGB. It begs the question why start with RYB at all since you state RGB is used for any digital content? Might confuse some beginners.
