Hue, value and saturation | Winsor & Newton Masterclass

[@jamesmoeller9366]

Great start to understand spectrums of color adjustments and become a better perceiver of where on the color wheel shadow and light are captured and rendered. Thank you!

Wow

Your yellow shifts green with black because your black is blue... There are dark yellow hue’s in nature.

It's not 'value'. it's _tonal_ value. - or just tone. Tone ranges from light to dark, and is the correct term for this quality of a colour. Even though just letting 'value' stand for tone is popular in The States, it is vague and often misleading. Though mentioned below, it's worth repeating at the top. W&N 'Masterclass' videos are not produced by masters any longer!

That explains why I only see green when I try to deepen yellows... hmmm

[@alangeorgebarstow]

Do you mean adjust the hue, TONE and saturation of a colour? A 'value' is something's monetary worth. Using it (as Americans's routinely do) to describe a colour's TONE is plainly silly.

Alan George Barstow thanks, a thought... Interestingly, i do use “ high value” words to describe lots of “bright Colors”: say maybe in a w/c composition..... CD RED,Hookers green,Pthalo Blue.( maybe Opera Pink) maybe ,as opposed to :Rose Madder,LT sap green,& Cerulean Blue.. Had not thought about $$, vivid colors.......

[@bio-plasmictoad5311]

It's not silly at all, it is one way how artist's describe colours. Saying that they are the same value means that they are the same in intensity, or matching the correct colour to what you are painting from life brightness, tone and so on. Just because you haven't heard the term don't mean it's wrong or stupid.

It is a professional term which artists use. Look up any art/design tutorials.

@@jeremiahsmith916 Don't be fooled into sloppy speech by lazy 'experts'. The OP is perfectly correct.
