[@thedabblingwarlock]

Regarding color temperatures, I once did a design that had a very cool tone over all. One of the colors I used was a desaturated red that had a very cool feel to it. So yeah, even colors that considered always warm or cool can be the other under the right circumstances.

[@TiffanieMangArt]

definitely! it is all relative

[@lechatbotte.]

That’s hue. There are hues of all colors hat can be made to change the color from warm to cool and the reverse.

[@TheSleyar]

after experimenting with colors, something I learned that is super helpful is that when using opposing colors, i use one for shadow and one for light: yellow light-violet shadow, green light, red shadow, etc

[@hayapatel_]

@@greyATK idk if it ever had a term but in color theory you often learn that the shade in the shadows will be complementary to the color of the light (also that warmer light -> cooler shadows, cooler light -> warmer shadows). So orange light, blue shadows (something you can often see with streetlamps), red light, greenish shadows, etc. Also, there's a phenomenon called "simultaneous contrast" (you actually see it throughout the video, especially during the cube demo) which is a result of how our eyes perceive color. I don't have the best way to explain it unfortunately but if it interests you, you should look it up! I feel like it's in a similar vein of what you originally asked.

[@rociofp8630]

@@greyATK the tone of the shadow is defined by the things that are facing the shadow. If there is a red wall facing the shadow, the shadow will have a warmer tone. Also, it’s not that the light makes the shadow the opposite color, is that it *seems* like it because of the contrast. Sorry if I didn’t explain myself well.

[@rociofp8630]

@@greyATK I would say it is. As I said in the second part of my comment, the contrast makes it *seem* like it. Like @Haya Patel said, is a result of how our eyes perceive color.

[@tsukinomiweasel551]

I think its due to how theres almost never no ither light source for example the sun gives off warm light and the sky is blue and gives off cool light

5:25 The color codes I got from the squares are as follows: Left Arrow: 786864 Right Arrow: 766965 Are we certain they're the _same_ color, and not just a really close one?

[@silberh5672]

If that's true that's so close the human eye probably can't differentiate. It's rgb so your first color is 2 two steps more red, 1 less green and one less blue compared to the second colour. And per colour there are 255 different steps on how much e.g. blue is in the colour. Maybe you knew that already 🤷‍♀️ But I'd count those two as the same colour, even though they're technically not

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

incredibly insightful. I thought I already knew a lot but it doesn't come close to this. Thanks for sharing.

[@eraba661]

This video is probably the best explaination I have seen so far which helped me understand alot

[@colleywhisson6522]

I like to think of the light to dark value first, this gives me a greater understanding of what the actual colour is. The big question every artist should concern themselves with, I believe. Colour variation and saturation. It’s easy to mix a colour, but difficult to to know what other colours should go with it.

[@TiffanieMangArt]

[@bugrilyus]

On light spectrum red light has the least energy at 380nm wavelenght. The object that is seen is red is reflecting red light and absorbing the rest, thus turning all the energy into heat thus it is warmer. Vice versa for the purple which sits on the other edge of observable light spectrum. IR and UV infrared and ultraviolet.

[@cain035]

Thank you for the tutorial this help me a lot understanding colors

[@Appleblade]

5:33 ..I'll bicker with the way Tiffanie (& others) talk about the colors here. The red and blue colors we see, that are said to be "the same color," just aren't the same--and here's the crucial phrase--when viewed in context. In the red context you see the color as blue, and in the blue context you see it as red. In isolation, or natural light, there is one color, but in the different situations there are two. Part of what helps explain the difference between the two colors in those contexts is that our brain generates all colors, and so while the underlying wavelengths of light are the same in both rectangles, the color we experience is different. The lesson is, colors are not perceived by the eyes, but rather are generated by the mind.

[@Juliana-du3kk]

You are correct, but that is a longwinded way to explain it. And saying that could confuse more than elucidate the topic to the viewers. It also is theoric, while just waying "it's the same color" is practical.

[@johnnewton7401]

Its important to keep in mind however that when dealing with mixing paint traditionally or digitally that you deal with absolute values. In other words, one colour is one colour but the context you put it in makes it appear different. This is also known as Simultaneous Contrast.

Photoshop does a disservice to explain it by organizing color in a strip. A color wheel from makes much easier to understand complementary color. It has colors organized in a cube, when it is more natural to organize it in a biconal, like gimp does. I wished they changed that.

You're right. The adding white cools a color logic applies only to warmer colors, it would be reversed if applied to cooler colors.
