    As of today, May 13th, 2024, out of more than 6 videos on COLOR THEORY I've watched, yours is the BEST and UNIQUE. It's because of the following reasons.
    1. IT covers ALL the color terms I need for photography and design. The definitions are easy to understand and accurate.
    2. It''s COMPREHENSIVE because it also shows how to create color palettes.
    3. It contains ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES such as the polygon backgrounds, the logo in the Color Psychology section, etc.
    The downside is the word "color scheme" is used without definition. NO WONDER it has been viewed 159 THOUSAND TIMES. Thank you very much.

    so many color wheel/color theory videos dont cover RGB, CYMK, and the process of actually creating color palattes with intention. the saturation test is something ive never seen before. this is incredible, thank you so much!

    Thankyou for this! As a designer I always find it quite difficult to decide what color the font should be and what color the background should be. Color makes a design so visually appealing and a beginner always gets stuck with choosing the right color for the elements. In spite of so less views on some of your videos, you guys always stay professional and bring such high quality content for us for absolutely free. Breaking down such complex concepts in so easier and understandable manner. Kudos for your work guys! Don't stop making these.

    I feel like colour theory is important for many different people. For painters, sketchers, interior designers, photogrophers, editors, models, fashion designers, etc. This is a vital part of those jobs and a lack of this knowledge is what separates an amateur from a professional.
    Its a very crucial subject to know.

    I'm not sure how you are using the black rectangle. Are you using it to judge both value and saturation? The value comparisons I can see when placed against the black rectangle, but I'm not sure I understand how you judge the saturation. Finally, in judging the values (and for that matter the saturations) are you aiming for an even gradation between values and between saturations, or are you looking for similar values/saturations, or are you just looking for what pleases you eye and what you know from experience will work. Thank you, this tutorial is very informative and presented so that it can be easily applied.

    Olá, meu nome é Willys, sou do Brasil e achei esse tutorial sobre cores muito bem explicado. Como não falo inglês, muitos tutoriais que assisto parecem carros sem freio rua abaixo, pois falam tão rápido que não consigo ler e pensar/analisar ao mesmo tempo, dificultando meu raciocínio. Esse tutorial foi fácil pra acompanhar e entender, pois é falado devagar. Muito bom!

    Interesting you start off with the Painting color wheel (RYB) versus the digital color wheel since all your examples are digital (RGB), and you don't address the change of color space when introducing RGB. It begs the question why start with RYB at all since you state RGB is used for any digital content? Might confuse some beginners.
