[@BlazyBob1]

That’s an absolutely great video on color, Joe! One of the best I’ve seen. As an artist and color nerd, I just have a little correction to make: the opposite of red is not green, it’s cyan. Red and green are like two vertices of a equilateral triangle; they are not opposites to each other. You gotta think of RGB and CMY as integrated to visualize the correct complimentary couples. You can imagine an RGB triangle where red is at the top, and then imagine the CMY triangle overlapping it but at a 180° angle, forming like a 6-pointed star. In between green and blue, at the bottom point will be their product: cyan, which is opposite to red. In the same way, the opposite of green is magenta and the opposite of blue is yellow. If you don’t believe me, you can do the afterimage experiment, tiring your eyesight of the red stimulus and then looking at a blank screen. You’ll see cyan, not green. And the color that’s in the middle of the hue circle/star/triangle is gray; it’s what all colors have in common, and that’s why it’s a lot easier to harmonize any two colors that are closer to gray than two very saturated colors.

I was hoping you would explain more about Cyan and Magenta being actual primary colors rather than what we are taught in school

[@syweb2]

As I understand it, cyan and magenta are primary colors only in the way printers use ink - in fact, magenta isn't even a wavelength of light (unlike other colors like cyan and green), it's the result of our eyes/brains interpreting the average of a bunch of red light and a bunch of blue light, which are on opposite ends of the visible color spectrum. Cyan, magenta, and yellow are "primary" colors in printing because printing uses additive coloring, so they need to use very light colors so that layering them over each other doesn't make the resulting colors too dark. The ""real"" primary colors of visible light are red, green, and blue, for the reasons listed in the video.

Cyan is just as valid of a colour as yellow ! Looking at cyan magenta yellow light is just like looking at red green blue light because it looks white.

Note this doesn't explain the visual trick with the two same colored crosses on different colored backgrounds appearing in different color. The amazing principle behind that is lateral inhibition, and it occurs everywhere in biology, from sensory physiology to developmental biology, whenever some kind of "sharpener" effect is needed. It's also responsible for another famous visual trick, the imaginary grey dots appearing in the intersections of a white grid on black squares. It also helps us to sharply differentiate between sounds of different frequencies, and to localize quite precisely where we've been touched by something. Honestly it deserves its own video.

[@blairhesse6918]

If you cross your eyes at 5:54, and focus on the yellow and blue overlapping, you actually do see a new color. It's weird because it's a color I've never really seen before

[@mateoacevedocontreras6087]

It seems like a new color because of its context, Blue and Yellow are almost complimentary colors, which means they are colors with none of the other's temperature qualities (color only tells you about temperature: Orange warm, blue cool) this means that when combined they cancel their saturation out leaving just a grey in the middle. Since grey doesn't have color your color cones are getting saturated by the extremes of the gradient and thus imparting a slight saturation over the grey part. The reason it looks more purplish than grey is because Purple is Yellow's complimentary. Since warm colors have more presence than cool colors, the yellow is dominating over the blue and since your mind is getting more saturated of the yellow you imprint the saturation of its complimentary color in the grey area. The colors he said that don't mix are complimentary colors, I don't completely agree with Blue and Yellow, but there is definitely no fully saturated color that can come out of Blue and Orange, Red and Green, and Yellow and Violet, since these (if you look at them in the color wheel) are opposite colors.
