Practical Application of Colour Psychology and Theory

Colour psychology is fun in theory but, how to use it in practice can be a bit tricky. So, here we go through three things to help you understand colour theory better. First is why Ultramarines seem like such boy scouts, a lot of it has to do with their colour psychology. Second is the ubiquitous red, white and blue colour combination, showing how it can be used in all six different ways and how its psychology changes with each. Finally, we go over why Purple and Green seem so villainous. Then we have a short plea at the end.
Thanks for watching and keep those brushes wet!
We hope this video was worth your time because, we put a lot of work into these videos, like too much time... so we hope you like them.

Initially the poster boys were the crimson fists for 2nd and rouge trader. Black templars took it at the start of third but the box photos have been ultra marines since third.

[@WhatareyouPaintingnow]

I can't remember if we mention since when in this one some of the times we do quite a few takes. But yeah you can't fit everything in. How did you like the video?

They were already on 2e boxes.

Another great, in-depth video, thank you very much!

Thank you for watching and if you want us to grow please, please, share these videos the in-depth colour psychology one would be great because we put so much work into it

[@adonaysalas224]

It's really awesome that the Night Lords have the same colour scheme as the Ultras, but with darker tones. Now I understand that they represent the fallen version of the heroes that Ultramarines are. In their origins they came from the Night Hunter, the identity of primarch Curze in Nostramo who was obsessed with justice and erasing crime. But because he used the most brutal methods to reach his goals he ended turning himself into a twisted kind of vigilante. Nice video 👍

Thank you guys so much for these videos! I have just been getting into model painting and this series has been really inspiring and helped me finally grasp the color wheel.

[@WhatareyouPaintingnow]

Glad to be of service

[@shauku77]

I really appreciate this series. Thank you so very much

[@WhatareyouPaintingnow]

We appreciate every view, but if you really want to help us just share the video around 😊

[@ShockArcl1te]

It is criminal that this video isn't getting more views. Each time I find a new way to look at my minis and possible alternative colors. Saving this to watch again later!

[@WhatareyouPaintingnow]

Thanks! I am glad you're getting a lot out of the series, but people will find it we are sure we believe in what we have made! But if you want to help us on that front sharing is the biggest thing that tells the algorithm that we aren't bums...

The Red and White combination meanings fit really well for Omni Man, from Invincible, especially the negatives! (19:47) Colour Theory/Psychology is so interesting!

[@VladLogimane]

I wish there was an app or something where you could pick a primary, secondary and accent color, then get the list of traits the combination embodies.

[@Rhyskendall8]

These videos are great! I’m about to start painting this weekend, at 40 years old for the first time since I was 10. Just getting a terminator squad and going to go from there. I was thinking about making a successor chapter but may just go for standard Ultramarines for ease. But these are very resourceful videos

[@WhatareyouPaintingnow]

I am very glad to hear that the videos have been helpful we do our best to make the information concise and yet entertaining so it keeps your attention and people walk away with something at the end ~Sunny

I love your work, it is verry educational, helpful and interesting for my Mini-painting. With that said, Please see if you can improve your audio quality a bit. Whenever you speak louder it breaks. It is the only thing I can complain about. Loking forward to more content.

[@WhatareyouPaintingnow]

Thank yeah, that is my department Sunny's graphics and visuals... So we are hoping to do a live stream next week and go over our plans... Currently we are recording in our place which is a tin roof and after the council cut down a lot of trees sound from outside is our primary problem... So we will have to invest into making a recording area... the only problem with that is we aren't well off at the moment so we are going to try and put money aside for it. We are working on it so yeah... I know I have to work on it. Sorry 😔

[@VladLogimane]

@@WhatareyouPaintingnow No need to be sorry. You are working on it wthin the limits of your own circumstances. It is perfectly understandable. I apreciate the response. Stay awesome.
