Love reading Ground news in the morning BTW. But I wanted to just say that I love seeing you in purple I bet you would look great in a purple trilby hat. I’m a big fan of purple and have several pieces including a suit that I use at my best friends wedding. But sometimes people think I’m trying to look like a Batman villain. So I have to stop myself from mixing in green, even though I also love green and have quite a few green items. If I didn’t like Batman I’d be so pissed at the colorist responsible. As for purple, green and yellow apparently not being real; I think that while the physical wave lengths of light might determine “real colors” and the properties or both absorption and reflection determine the properties of color, color is an abstract determined by our brains. Also nobody sees color the same as anybody else. So I think all the colors are as real as we interpret them to be.

[@ecmelton8633]

Tangentially related, I recently watched Scooby-Doo 2002 with the director and producer's commentary and found out a cool bit of trivia about the wardrobe. The director really didn't want the gang's clothes to be affected by shadows and light. They wanted the clothes to always look the same color regardless of the environment, much like the og cartoon, which didn't use much shading or highlighting on the character models. This was also done so you could easily identify the characters based on their color coding. To achieve this they made a version of the wardrobe that was really brightly colored for them to wear at night (to compensate for shadows) and a version that was really dark and muted for them to wear in bright sun on the beach (so they wouldn't look washed out). They also seemed to hint at using different types of fabrics as well to absorb or reflect more or less light to keep the colors consistent.

[@alljustletters]

to be fair, i don't think the joke was referencing color seasons, but seasonal color, i.e. color palettes that fashion and other designers use based on season (you know, just like florals for spring?). and the reasons, as far as i can tell, why purple turns up in autumn are 1. halloween obviously and 2. harvest season, specifically we'd be thinking of aubergine, which appears a lot in harvest spreads. i got married last fall and my decor theme was "dark autumn", which featured a wine red and a warm aubergine. (that all said, i'm not sure the purple daphne wears would count) really fun video tho, would have honestly loved to hear more of your color theory research!

[@PrincessOfTheEnd]

that's what I thought too!

[@violacola]

Yeah that was my immediate thought too and I'm surprised Scott didn't bring it up. There's a difference between a personal color season and seasonal trends in fashion.

[@neurotyper]

Came here to say it... All the research and points brought up are very interesting, but it feels like it has almost nothing to do with what the actual content of the joke is? Even though it may still be wrong (I hardly think purple is excluded from spring fashion collections).

[@marggarg2778]

I thought the same thing. I did a quick search online for seasonal color and only two results came back with anything about seasonal colors rather than color seasons. Even color seasons were termed seasonal colors. Either way, the light purple Daphne is wearing falls into the spring range of purple rather than the dark fall purple, as you mentioned. Even then, what is "in" for any season changes any given year. Apparently last year, one of the spring/summer colors was "fiery red." 🤷‍♀

[@masalanicholoff3593]

If you google spring fashion color 2001 you’ll see a lot of browns and a few black and white outfits, but googling fall fashion color 2001 you do see a few purple dresses and one of the first results has a purple scarf. So it’s possible that when that joke was written, it was either still 2001 or the movie was planned to release in 2001. Although if you google spring fashion color 2002 there is a lot of purple. Which means the joke works in 2001 and not 2002.

Absolutely. It’s harder to make a joke about them because they’re more specific than your normal “red, orange, yellow, etc” colors, but there are seasonal color palettes. He even showed some examples off earlier in the video. Everything gets weird because personal fashion had commandeered the seasons and removed them from the literal passage of time. Given that the joke is from 20 years ago, my theory is it was a lot more prevalent for the “rule” to be everyone wears fall colors in the fall. But given the recent upswing in encouraging originality, it’s swung more to “if you like yourself in fall colors, wear them whenever”. A classic example of language evolving over time.

[@TitularHeroine]

That must mean that there are probably other ways too...

[@skilledwarman]

@@TitularHeroine here's a good example: Interior designer. I work near the rich part of Nashville selling paint. I've met maybe 1 designer who seems like she knows what she's talking about and all the others have just been insane. They charge ridiculous prices and will be the most expensive versions of everything since their clients are rich and fully taking them at their word. The company I work for lets contractors, painters, building maintenance guys, ECT ECT set up accounts to get better pricing. The way it usually works is the more they buy the better their discount. Except for designers... I'm using real numbers here just to make this clear. A $110 gallon of paint that a contractor will get for $35 (giving the store like $2 in profit) a designer will get for $85. Because if you give them the painter's full discount they will just assume you're trying to push low quality product on them. So their clients end up way over spending on even simple projects and the designers get big commissions from them for their services when really 5 minutes of talking to one of our staff would get you a better result for way way less money.

[@muwuriel8231]

I wanna say yes, but also no. Colour analysts are just doing a fraction of what a personal stylist does, and having someone whose job it is to make you look as nice as possible isn’t really a scam, especially for special occasions where they’re going to have pictures taken that they’d have to look at forever. So if you don’t have the access to a personal stylist, you could have colour analysis done and at the very least be pointed in a generally good direction. And if you know the rules you know how to break them so you can build off from there.

I think purple itself does exist, violet is a colour on the visible light spectrum, but magenta doesn't. If you throw up a colour wheel, magenta is there across from green, in between purple and red, but it doesn't exist on the visible light spectrum. The spectrum goes from red to purple and ththe one in the middle is green. But being able to see "colour that is between red and purple, and isn't green" is very useful when trying to determine what's a fruit and what's a leaf, so our brains just kinda throw magenta up there in confusion

[@NicolasGarciaLanza]

In a way, this video captures the charm of original Scooby-Doo. Like, I wouldn't think of the series without their use of color in the designs of the characters, the scenarios and even the transitions. I remember when I was a child, my parents bought me a digital Scooby-Doo watch. It had a teal purple color, and groovy flowers in yellow and cyan. I loved my Scooby-watch because I loved the series, but I also remember a kid telling me that I had a "girl's watch" because it was "pink." I guess I stopped wearing the watch, but I never forgot about it. Now that I think of it, I think it's kinda groovy, to be honest, and I like that I wasn't like that kid when I was young. Now I don't really like to wear purple and I wear quite a "traditional" color palette, as I'm fair skinned and dark haired, but I also acknowledge that my style is not really what other men around my age wear. I guess I've always liked to experiment, as clothes don't always fit me "as naturally". In the end, I think Scooby Doo is interesting because it blurs those lines, characters are fashion icons in and off themselves. It's kinda sexy in it's own way and I find that premise to be more interesting than series that are focused on male or female demographics.

The idea of dressing for the season has been around in fashion for a long time. It's why you see so many orange and red knits in the fall, and bright florals in the spring. It's also why people say thinhs like "you shouldn't wear white after labour day", because white is aparently a summer shade. It's mostly outdated now, and personal colour season is a much more popular theory today, but I'm amazed that neither of the people you interviewed were aware of the historical fashion theory being referenced. For what it's worth, plum is a fall colour, but the purples Daphne wears are definitely more spring.

JG is on his sh*t. He’s a character in the DC multiverse at this point that made it from the MCU after some ridiculous cosmic ordeal that he started. If Loki was cool to me he’d be more like Mr JG.

It wouldn't really be a NerdSync video if Scott didn't go overboard with the research.

[@AGothNamedWednessday]

Okay, first I wanna say, I love this video, I love your content; and the research that went into this video is fantastic. I think you had great speakers, and their sections were super interesting. That being said. The quote in the movie is *NOT* about personal color stories; it is about the literal seasons. I don't know a ton about it, but I grew up with a aunt who was very in to fashion and the rules around fashion that she was taught growing up, and you can also find things about this in other media. There *are* certain colors that you wear based on the literal season. Like how you're not supposed to wear white (like all white, not pieces of white) after labor day because summer is over and you're going in to fall and winter; you're not "supposed to wear" black in the spring and summer, it's a winter and fall color. Pastel purple *is* a spring color, the spring purples tend to be cooler tones, with more blue and pink based purples. The color of purple Daphne is wearing in the film is a very warm purple, which would be a fall color. It's like one of those archaic rules for women that came up especially in the mid 20th century, think like etiquette classes of the 40s-60s; which paved way for the rules for women's fashion in the 90s and 2000s. Like you're not wrong for the interpretation of this quote being about personal color seasons; and I love the deep dive in to that; but you're not debunking the quote because that's not what the quote is about.

[@SebastianSeanCrow]

23:20 you are absolutely correct. Idk the first time I saw you in the jacket… the muted purple with kind of grayish tones/wash just seems to really fit you

[@ReinBelmont]

Purple is a hermit color, obviously

It's illegal to wear purple if you're not Royal. That's why commoners can't find it so readily available.

[@lawtonadams4235]

I mean thats kinda correct. It was extremely hard to find a lightfast purple pigment. The only one pre chemistry was so rare only a royal could amass enough to dye an outfit.

[@heartscapesreiki1496]

You know what's funny? Back when I was binging your entire channel to get caught up to real time, I remember thinking that the dark, primary reds and blues of your channel pallete didn't feel right. I assumed you were going for super hero / Superman vibes, which of course was on brand, so it made perfect sense. Turns out, all along you needed villain colors 🤷‍♀️. Rock those purples, Scott!

[@ZipplyZane]

And now do we get a video on why primary colors are thought of as hero colors while secondary colors are more villainous?

[@heartscapesreiki1496]

@@ZipplyZane Hmmm...I have definitely seen such a video, but not sure if it was on Nerdsync. Hey, Scott @NerdSyncProductions , was that you?

[@acgeewhiz]

@@heartscapesreiki1496One of the older videos on this channel 100% looks at primary/hero and secondary/villain colors, talks about why Hulk is kind of a villain in comics and the coloring of their skin/pants reflects that, etc.

[@UltimateKyuubiFox]

The poetry of your assigned colors being binary, and your preferred color being those same colors mixed together, a third option on a spectrum between the two, is incredible.

[@toonman5099]

You know what would be hilarious yet an even twister twistier twist? If Daphne's reaction is 100% genuine in the fact of her being a fashion expert and her brain is having a hard time computing how: 1. This random voodoo witch doctor she came across (who is about to "sacrifice" an already dead chicken) is aware of fashion color theory 2. He got the factoid completely wrong no matter what way you slice it 3. How random it is when it's not relating to the question she just asked in any way
