It’s always so interesting to me that CMY still isn’t commonly known. It took me until one of my college art classes to ever hear about it for the first time, after being taught since kindergarten that the primary colors are Red, Yellow and Blue. For anyone curious, in Additive light (screens, lightbulbs, etc), the primaries are Red, Green, and Blue (dark base colors that get brighter when mixed), and in Subtractive light (painting, colored pencil, etc), the primaries are Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow (bright base colors that get darker when mixed)! If you’ve ever tried to mix paints using red, yellow, and blue, and wondered why all of your secondary colors looked muddy and dark, that’s why! You couldn’t have mixed those nice, brighter colors because they are primary colors!
@sisisworld20 күн бұрын
When teaching kids RYB are the best method cause it is easy. Each color scheme/wheel has it place to be and use. One is not exactly better the other, just has different purpose. About muddy colors it can be correct if you uses the splited primary system.

9:55 This process is actually called the *opto-electronic transfer function* (OETF) or simply a transfer function, which includes but aren't limited to the gamma correction. In fact sRGB transfer function is subtly different from a pure gamma correction, though it shouldn't matter much for 8-bit color depth. Also many HDR standards also come with custom transfer functions because pure gamma correction won't be a good fit for the actual human perception of brightness---like, you will need 15 bits instead of 10 bits of color depth for the faithful color reproduction.

I would love to hear you talk about how different cultures around the world see colours differently due to their language. For instance "When the Lithuanian-Norwegian participants were thinking in Lithuanian, they had an advantage in distinguishing different shades of blue, which was not present when they were thinking in Norwegian." Edit: Also how different culture's colour perception influences things like music, for instance the 17 equal temperament which I remember reading about but I can't seem to find where.
@dogedoger26062 ай бұрын
It is still quite a debate within linguistics, but most experts these days agree that your language does not greatly affect your perception of reality. It is most likely not the case that they could distinguish more shades of blue because they spoke Lithuanian.
@SnakebitSTI2 ай бұрын
It's a practice/exposure thing really. You don't have to grow up speaking a language that has blue/green distinction to distinguish between blue and green, and you don't need to grow up in a culture that has microtonal music in order to know that there can be more than 8 notes. Like, take a look at a rainbow or other representation of the visible light spectrum. Do you see _exactly_ 7 colors, no more? There's a difference between memorizing 7 labels for parts of the visible spectrum and only being able to see 7 colors in the visible spectrum! Or have you ever heard an instrument out of tune? Tada, you can hear more than 8 notes! Language and culture inform how you interpret the colors you see and sounds you hear, but they don't determine what you can see and hear.

The eyes (the brain) are so complex, advanced and yet, because of expectations, so easy to trick Also friendly reminder that in CRT screens there’s no “pixels”, they do look like pixels and subpixels, but because of the way that electron guns work over the mesh that looks like pixels, those aren’t pixels
@SnakebitSTI2 ай бұрын
To be specific, each color target is kind of like a little tiny monochrome CRT screen. They do not light uniformly like subpixels on flat screen displays. They glow only where the electron beam hits them. The main takeaway is that large color targets hinder color accuracy more than brightness accuracy.

Subtractive primitives are magenta (a purpleish, pinkish, redish light color), yellow, and cyan (a greenish, blueish light color). Because cyan is what you get when you subtract the pure red from the white light. Also you cannot blend, superpose or juxtapose those three colors to get black so you have to use a fourth primitive which is "black" and whose function is to control/reproduce lightness.

What is Dolby Vision and in what category can it be placed? Is it also a color space, or is it just an HDR specification or something like that? If so, what are other technologies that can be placed in the same category? 3. I'm a web developer and I sometimes find myself wanting to use mix-blend-mode in CSS. Could you make a video about how this CSS property works? It's really cool and interesting, but I only get it to work after a lot of trial and error because of the many options. Maybe you can explain the science behind each mix-blend-mode in a creative way.

Gamma is just a misnomer for transfer function. A transfer function maps code values to light levels. Think of how 8-bit RGB values 0,0,0 = no light output and how 255,255,255 = maximum light output. The transfer function relates to the specific encoding and decoding of code values for display. E.g. 'gamma' stems from the exponent of a power function. Displays are typically gamma decoding (e.g. monitors usually decode [0, 1] code values ^2.2) so code values must be encoded with the inverse transfer function of the display to account for that (in this case [0, 1] code values are encoded ^(1/2.2)).
