CMY are primary: Red = Magenta + Yellow Indigo = Magenta + Cyan Turquoise = Cyan + a little of Yellow Purple = Magenta + a little of Cyan Orange = Yellow + a little of Magenta Lime = Yellow + Cyan And what do we have with RYB??? Red and Blue = dirty Purple. Yellow and Blue = dirty Green. It's a contaminated pallet. I do oil painting and deal with pigments on a daily basis.
Matter absorbs the light so it basically does the opposite and the opposite of the RGB rods in your eye are the CMY. You can prove it by taking an image of any of the RGB colors and editing it into negative. Conservative people still can't move on with their childhood primary colors RYB.

I believe saturation deals with the amount of pigment on the ground, while intensity is about the purity or degree of neutralization based on mixing the color with its compliment (most dramatically) or other colors. Great video, I wonder how you feel about my take on intensity as being different from saturation.
Although confusing, this is only one of several colour wheels in everyday use. They are all valid in their own ways (looking warily at the uppity commentators below). The 'common' wheel uses the primary colours Red/Yellow/Blue. The subtractive CMYK model used by printers is Cyan/Magenta/Yellow (accompanied with black) and apparently works best when mixing physical paint pigments. And the additive model, RGB (Red/Green/Blue) is what colour electrical displays, such as your television, uses and is based on how the human eye works.

Please make a tutorial in which all the color schemes or use, for example in which situation we can use Tone color, Complementary color etc, also Thanks for your this tutorial, :)
I'm still learning about color theory and how to apply it to my work and I will share more as I begin to learn more. For now, you may wan to watch my video on choosing a color scheme ua-cam.com/video/NXcAhWfWhDA/v-deo.html
This is best also, i saw it but i already know about all the colors scheme, but i need and may be lot of Designer need to know how to apply these schemes i mean in which situation which scheme is best, thanks for your replay
I'll definitely keep this in mind! Showing other types of design examples will probably be more useful to designers. In general, though, as a designer you decide which colors to use, what level of saturation and what mood to provide based on the purpose of your project. That's why I analyze and explain several works of art on the second half of the video.
I’m sure many people are arguing in this comment section, so to clear things up. MYC (is normally the best for traditional / printed art) and RGB (is the absolute best for digital art) are some of the optimal sets of three, RBY(will normally work fine but isn’t is not optimal) But all of these sets actually can’t mix into every perceivable fully saturated color (when making traditional / printed art). If you want virtually all fully saturated hues (in traditional art) you’ll need all red, yellow, blue, cyan, magenta, and green (you’ll still want black and white anyway though) for even more info refer to florent fargeses video on the subject
The three primary colours are actually magenta, yellow and cyan. Magenta and yellow form red, yellow and cyan form green and magenta and cyan form blue.🥰
@@pathological8231 you’re talking about the additive colour model, but I’m pretty sure we’re talking about the subtractive one. Yes, cyan can be created by mixing green and blue in light, but not paint. XXOrxngeVibesXX is right as he is talking about paint/subtractive mixing, not light/additive mixing.
I'm a bit confused by the traditional red, yellow, and blue primary color wheel in the art industry. We are all taught from childhood that RYB are the 3 primary colors via which all other colors can be mixed. However, from a scientific perspective, this simply isn't true. Color mixing for the purpose of creating art is based on the subtractive color model. The real 3 primary colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow. With the traditional RYB combination, you can't actually render the full color spectrum. Using only these 3 and mixing them will create a palate that appears muddy and dull. That is why a color printer always uses the CMY combination with the addition of black for shade. Could somebody explain to me why the classic RYB model is more desirable?
Printers use white in a completely different way than a painter does. Most printers don't have or use white ink, they simply adjust the opacity of a color and layers it to create various tones over the white surface it prints on. That is an arduous task to perform if you're not a machine. In painting you can just mix a color with white to create different tones.
For printers, it's CMY. For light, it's RGB. For physical art, RYB seems to have been the most popular, possibly because (relative to CMY) red, yellow, and blue are more easily obtainable pigments. There are a lot of red and blue flowers and minerals, but not so many cyan and magenta. Cultures all over the world embraced pigments that were easy to find. RYB was the long-term result. (Non-researched, btw. Don't quote me.)
I think it depends of where you buy the products. The names just change in some countries. When I buy paint, the primary colors are always labeled Cyan, Magenta and yellow. When I was young, I didn't understand why, because for me, they were just a slightly different red, and a very slightly different blue.
Cosmic Lawnmower 1. If we really cared about the secondaries of light then we would only paint with light. Do you follow and actually use the optimal paints closet to CYM? CYMK are not the “primaries” of subtractive paint mixing either-even though they will give us a much wider range of colors given that we have better modern pigments. The printing industry does NOT follow optimal CMYK just like most of us. Even they actually need and use more dyes/paints/inks outside of common printers AND still have trouble hitting peak colors-especially in the Red to YO area. CMYK also starts out “dull”. That is the nature of subtractive paint mixing. 2. From a “scientific perspective” there is not a set of 3 real “primary” paints in subtractive paint mixing that will make the entire color gamut possible-not even close. Essentially every decently chromatic paint in a triadic set of 3 with one each of A red member, A yellow member, and A blue member can mix every HUE. Notice that I did not say that they will match every paint, color, nor VALUE/CHROMA nor did I limit your choosing of paint. A “primary” paint color and color is ARBITRARY and can be real or imaginary-with only an imaginary set of 3 “primaries” able to define the entire color gamut possible. 3. You were taught “half truths” in grade school in part because of learning level and in part because some can not seem to “de-focus” on the “traditional” RYB colors chosen. You need to know though that most artists choose “primary” paints that will get them as close as possible to what they normally paint to start off with and usually have a couple of “Reds”, “Blues”, and “Yellows”. But it would be correct to say that one can not mix back to the chosen “primaries” in their chosen palette gamut of 3 from the mixes made from them nor can they mix one of the other “primaries” from the other two in the set. Normally no “color” is more intensely saturated as when it comes from the tube and normally a paint has properties that can not be matched by mixing from others and some paints can’t be matched in color at all by mixing. 4. The important things you need to know when choosing a palette is: What is your painting style? E.g. are you a colorist who needs to match bright and vivid colors most of the time or are you more of a realist and need to match more natural colors with the occasional need for bright and vivid? You need to keep in mind paint bias-not “temperature” as many teach (which is relative and confusing for many and should not be used in place of bias)-which way the paint leans in color: does your red lean orange or violet...etc. The last thing you need that is basic to know is: the farther apart 2 paints are from each other-the duller and less saturated the mix will be-and the closer they are-the more intense the chroma will be. To mix as much of the color gamut possible one will need more than just 3 “primary” paints plus raw whitest white plus the blackest black on the market. For in depth theory and a starter palette that has the most bang for the buck, may I suggest that you visit handprint.com? It is from a watercolorists point of view but is easily translatable to acrylics and oils-especially the theory. But I do agree...RYB should not be taught (alone).....but neither should CMYK...start from the beginning with the Human sight “primaries” of RGB then proceed to subtractive mixing involving substance uncertainty. Just like we start with RGB in additive mixing we should also start with RGB in subtractive mixing but (as one scientist said to me) our eyes can not detect the bright spectrum yellow in a mix of RG paints so we start with Y (I could be wrong but it has something to do with the YG reflectance waves that our eyes are already “seeing”). We can mix nice reds, blues, greens, and magenta’s and violets all day long but we have trouble with yellow. This is why we start with yellow instead of green then we proceed to the secondaries. Perhaps this is the MAJOR reason RYB in general is still taught but they never teach why...
Volgen Productions there are more than 5 “primary” colors. But let’s ignore that. Let’s also, take white and black out of the theoretical realm of light and dark and out of neutral and into the world of paints and pigments as colored paints. I will definitely give you white since we can not mix it all all but what makes you say black? I say black is also a “primary” but I am curious as to why you think it is?

Thanks for this great explanation. Been trying to get to grips with colour theory for a while now and yours is the only description that hasn't gone straight over my head or frankly sent me to sleep. Great job!
Don't give attention to the uneducated people. They don't know how colors work and the science behind them. In color, there are only two principles, namely, the additive and the subtractive color principle: * LIGHT (RADIANT ENERGY) - When different light hues combine, it will create a lighter combination. It follows the additive color principle and it uses the RGB color model which creates white light when all are combined. * PIGMENT (MATTER) - When different pigment hues combine, it will create a darker combination. It follows the subtractive color principle and it uses the CMY color model which creates black pigment when all are combined. We have 3 cone cells in our eyes which detect red, green, and blue colors. That's why the screens use the RGB color model. Matter absorbs light and pigment is matter, therefore, the pigment does the opposite, the opposite of RGB is CMY. CMY is the more appropriate primary colors since they have a wider gamut (almost all colors) than RYB and can even make colors that RYB can't make. Also, RYB can't create pure black, they will create a grayish brownish muddy mixture and mix darker colors and its secondary colors are too dark and dull to paint different types of paintings. This RGB color model creates a perfect triangle in our color vision that bases off a white light in the center and by far, the most prevalent and effective since it can create pretty much almost perceivable colors and many electronic devices use it. That's why it is also recommended that we should use brighter CMY in arts and mixing colors in schools. IDK why. We should improve our learning, not just being conservative and sticking to the traditional primary colors learned in our childhood. There is not much difference between printing or layering and mixing. Both still add pigments and "subtract" light, so the resulting mixture will be darker. Layering uses translucent medium allowing the light to pass through the media, but the downside to this is that the last color that is layered on top will dominate and give the resulting color a tinge of the last color. Many didn't even know that mixing colors is like mixing a bag of sand or making a checker of alternating colors and seeing them from afar, not knowing that it's actually a mixture by those colors. Paints, crayons, and inks have hues that mix darker mixture, therefore, they are pigments. There are actually so many pigments, including sand, filters on top of each other, pigments found in organisms, food, plastics, cosmetics, color pencils, pastels, markers, etc. The color doesn't matter, the medium does matter. Inks use translucent medium while paints use an opaque medium. If paints use an opaque CMY medium, CMY will work. Why the heck would you use literally translucent CMY inks for painting? These UA-cam videos also prove: ua-cam.com/video/ByBsY-2U1kI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/dbcOcZw4g-I/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/747uREIfnVg/v-deo.html This proofs also made me think that why are we so conservative that RYB are still taught in schools till this time.
thanks for the tips, its going to help me with my mapping and gis exam tomorrow :) this video was really friendly and easy to understand and super helpful!
I liked your video very much, quick, to the point, and informative. Only thing I wanted for in the end was to have it all in one place on a chart for reference. Nice job.
@@renzo6490 No, because the CMY is the perfect scheme. You can substitute Cyan-Magenta-Yellow with Cerulean-Quinacridone-Hansa and the result will be pretty much the same. Won't see a differance. But it's the CMY scheme you orient on. Both oil-paints and ink ARE pigments and DO follow the same CMY scheme.
@@pc6985 she doesn't need to read that article. She already stated correctly that Cyan-Magenta-Yellow are the true primary colors. Cyan-Magenta-Yellow is what you are supposed to mix on paper as your primary colors. But this youtube video suggests Red-Blue-Yellow instead. This video is advertising the wrong set of colors as a primary ones. Cyan-Magenta-Yellow are the true primary colors.
@@pc6985 This video is about pigment. We are mixing paint. The primary color scheme for that is CMY. The video suggested RYB for the pigment. And RYB is not a set of primary colors, neither for pigment nor for light. While we are trying to straighten that out, you start nagging about light. Wrong comment section my friend. This one is about paint, therefore pigment, therefore the CMY scheme. Don't involve unrelated stuff. Video suggested R Y B. The video is wrong. The video is misleading. R Y B paints are not primary.

That video contained a lot of information most of which I really didn't know some of the concepts I knew already but never heard him defined very interesting and thank you very much
Love the detail you go to. Great job. Tertiary is often confused however, tertiary refers to three, so the two secondary colours must contain a combination of all three primary colours. Having taught this for years I was always amazed how many art teachers got this wrong. Keep up the great work in your videos. ;)
Tertiary refers to third, yes. Tertiary in regard to the 12-hue color circle is an ordinal position. Each tertiary hue is created by mixing TWO primaries. Red-orange is the blend of red and yellow. Yellow-orange is also a blend of red and yellow, but in different proportions. Secondary hues also contain just two primaries, not three. Orange contains red and yellow. As for complements and split-complements, that's where all three primaries come into play in a color relationship. A complementary pair contains all three primaries in balance. A split (near) complementary pair contains all three primaries but not in balance.
Alvalyn Lundgren I really appreciate you taking the time to reply in such depth, it clearly shows your passion about art which I love to see. But as a teacher who is passionate about this, I’m about to use a word that I rarely, if ever try to use when teaching, and that is to say I’m afraid this info is wrong. You can spend hours online looking for references, and sadly over the years due to the simplification of the colour wheel, tertiary colours have become misinterpreted. You should check out this great website which explains the issues of “ the great debate “ regards to the distortion of the definition of tertiary colours over the years. www.teachkidsart.net/the-great-tertiary-color-debate/ Quite simply put, tertiary colours must contain all 3 primary colours, even if one of the 3 colours is just 1%. Maybe one day the true meaning of tertiary will once again be fully understood but in the meantime, no matter what your interpretation, as long as you’re enjoying the creative process then life is good! ;)

Contrary to the misconceptions of some, Tertiary Colors ARE NOT those the fall in between the primary and secondary; those are Intermediate colors. Tertiary Colors are those third teir colors that result from either mixing any two secondary colors, or, by mixing varying proportions of all three Primary Colors.

I'm still learning about color theory and how to apply it to my work and I will share more as I begin to learn more. For now, you may wan to watch my video on choosing a color scheme ua-cam.com/video/NXcAhWfWhDA/v-deo.html
This is best also, i saw it but i already know about all the colors scheme, but i need and may be lot of Designer need to know how to apply these schemes i mean in which situation which scheme is best, thanks for your replay
I'll definitely keep this in mind! Showing other types of design examples will probably be more useful to designers. In general, though, as a designer you decide which colors to use, what level of saturation and what mood to provide based on the purpose of your project. That's why I analyze and explain several works of art on the second half of the video.
I’m sure many people are arguing in this comment section, so to clear things up.
MYC (is normally the best for traditional / printed art) and RGB (is the absolute best for digital art) are some of the optimal sets of three, RBY(will normally work fine but isn’t is not optimal) But all of these sets actually can’t mix into every perceivable fully saturated color (when making traditional / printed art). If you want virtually all fully saturated hues (in traditional art) you’ll need all red, yellow, blue, cyan, magenta, and green (you’ll still want black and white anyway though)
for even more info refer to florent fargeses video on the subject
It was brilliant and straight to the point, thank you 🌺
Thank you. I’ve read about these terms many times, but having the illustrations made them much more clear and understandable.
The three primary colours are actually magenta, yellow and cyan.
Magenta and yellow form red, yellow and cyan form green and magenta and cyan form blue.🥰
You can make cyan by mixing equal amounts of green and blue, red and green make yellow, and blue and red make magenta
@@pathological8231 you’re talking about the additive colour model, but I’m pretty sure we’re talking about the subtractive one.
Yes, cyan can be created by mixing green and blue in light, but not paint. XXOrxngeVibesXX is right as he is talking about paint/subtractive mixing, not light/additive mixing.
I am a Full Stack Software Developer and this videos is great help for me regarding UI design. Excellent Description 👍
Thank you this video is amazing professionally done in all aspects keep them coming.
Thank you, you have no idea how much this will help me create cover art for my music
Thanks alot, Simple and well explained.
I am a fellow art teacher, and I am thrilled that I found your video. It says all that I wanted to say in class on this topic. Thank you.
The youtuber is more colorful than the color-wheel :-)
This video helped me a lot! Out of all the color scheme tutorials I watched, urs is the most easiest to understand. Thank you!
This was all I wanted to know!

I'm a bit confused by the traditional red, yellow, and blue primary color wheel in the art industry. We are all taught from childhood that RYB are the 3 primary colors via which all other colors can be mixed. However, from a scientific perspective, this simply isn't true. Color mixing for the purpose of creating art is based on the subtractive color model. The real 3 primary colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow. With the traditional RYB combination, you can't actually render the full color spectrum. Using only these 3 and mixing them will create a palate that appears muddy and dull. That is why a color printer always uses the CMY combination with the addition of black for shade. Could somebody explain to me why the classic RYB model is more desirable?
Printers use white in a completely different way than a painter does. Most printers don't have or use white ink, they simply adjust the opacity of a color and layers it to create various tones over the white surface it prints on. That is an arduous task to perform if you're not a machine. In painting you can just mix a color with white to create different tones.
For printers, it's CMY. For light, it's RGB. For physical art, RYB seems to have been the most popular, possibly because (relative to CMY) red, yellow, and blue are more easily obtainable pigments. There are a lot of red and blue flowers and minerals, but not so many cyan and magenta. Cultures all over the world embraced pigments that were easy to find. RYB was the long-term result.
(Non-researched, btw. Don't quote me.)
I think it depends of where you buy the products. The names just change in some countries. When I buy paint, the primary colors are always labeled Cyan, Magenta and yellow. When I was young, I didn't understand why, because for me, they were just a slightly different red, and a very slightly different blue.
Cosmic Lawnmower
1. If we really cared about the secondaries of light then we would only paint with light. Do you follow and actually use the optimal paints closet to CYM? CYMK are not the “primaries” of subtractive paint mixing either-even though they will give us a much wider range of colors given that we have better modern pigments. The printing industry does NOT follow optimal CMYK just like most of us. Even they actually need and use more dyes/paints/inks outside of common printers AND still have trouble hitting peak colors-especially in the Red to YO area. CMYK also starts out “dull”. That is the nature of subtractive paint mixing.
2. From a “scientific perspective” there is not a set of 3 real “primary” paints in subtractive paint mixing that will make the entire color gamut possible-not even close. Essentially every decently chromatic paint in a triadic set of 3 with one each of A red member, A yellow member, and A blue member can mix every HUE. Notice that I did not say that they will match every paint, color, nor VALUE/CHROMA nor did I limit your choosing of paint. A “primary” paint color and color is ARBITRARY and can be real or imaginary-with only an imaginary set of 3 “primaries” able to define the entire color gamut possible.
3. You were taught “half truths” in grade school in part because of learning level and in part because some can not seem to “de-focus” on the “traditional” RYB colors chosen. You need to know though that most artists choose “primary” paints that will get them as close as possible to what they normally paint to start off with and usually have a couple of “Reds”, “Blues”, and “Yellows”. But it would be correct to say that one can not mix back to the chosen “primaries” in their chosen palette gamut of 3 from the mixes made from them nor can they mix one of the other “primaries” from the other two in the set. Normally no “color” is more intensely saturated as when it comes from the tube and normally a paint has properties that can not be matched by mixing from others and some paints can’t be matched in color at all by mixing.
4. The important things you need to know when choosing a palette is: What is your painting style? E.g. are you a colorist who needs to match bright and vivid colors most of the time or are you more of a realist and need to match more natural colors with the occasional need for bright and vivid? You need to keep in mind paint bias-not “temperature” as many teach (which is relative and confusing for many and should not be used in place of bias)-which way the paint leans in color: does your red lean orange or violet...etc. The last thing you need that is basic to know is: the farther apart 2 paints are from each other-the duller and less saturated the mix will be-and the closer they are-the more intense the chroma will be. To mix as much of the color gamut possible one will need more than just 3 “primary” paints plus raw whitest white plus the blackest black on the market. For in depth theory and a starter palette that has the most bang for the buck, may I suggest that you visit handprint.com? It is from a watercolorists point of view but is easily translatable to acrylics and oils-especially the theory.
But I do agree...RYB should not be taught (alone).....but neither should CMYK...start from the beginning with the Human sight “primaries” of RGB then proceed to subtractive mixing involving substance uncertainty. Just like we start with RGB in additive mixing we should also start with RGB in subtractive mixing but (as one scientist said to me) our eyes can not detect the bright spectrum yellow in a mix of RG paints so we start with Y (I could be wrong but it has something to do with the YG reflectance waves that our eyes are already “seeing”). We can mix nice reds, blues, greens, and magenta’s and violets all day long but we have trouble with yellow. This is why we start with yellow instead of green then we proceed to the secondaries. Perhaps this is the MAJOR reason RYB in general is still taught but they never teach why...
Volgen Productions there are more than 5 “primary” colors. But let’s ignore that. Let’s also, take white and black out of the theoretical realm of light and dark and out of neutral and into the world of paints and pigments as colored paints. I will definitely give you white since we can not mix it all all but what makes you say black? I say black is also a “primary” but I am curious as to why you think it is?
Quick and clear, as opposed to the mass amount of color complication out there! super appreciated
if i need to practice color grading can i do so by desaturating a footage and apply colors to it???
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about photography?

@@simplearttips382 You have caused some confusion here. You got your primary colors wrong and you fooled everyone else. Judging by your recent "Color Mixing" video, you never got things right. Wonder what it is?
This is a very direct and easy going video about color. I will be sharing this with my middle school art students.
Today is my arts exam n here i am watching this at morning 🤣
😂😂same
Clearly i don't know about color,but when i have been seen your video then i can almost clear about color wheel.This video is too much helpful to me❤️🥀
Good video!
Yes
Thanks for this great explanation. Been trying to get to grips with colour theory for a while now and yours is the only description that hasn't gone straight over my head or frankly sent me to sleep. Great job!
Why not Cyan Magenta Yellow?
Jackson John McLean because if you mix those with paint it won't look right
Those are the primary colors for light. This video is about pigments.
Don't give attention to the uneducated people. They don't know how colors work and the science behind them.
In color, there are only two principles, namely, the additive and the subtractive color principle:
* LIGHT (RADIANT ENERGY) - When different light hues combine, it will create a lighter combination. It follows the additive color principle and it uses the RGB color model which creates white light when all are combined.
* PIGMENT (MATTER) - When different pigment hues combine, it will create a darker combination. It follows the subtractive color principle and it uses the CMY color model which creates black pigment when all are combined.
We have 3 cone cells in our eyes which detect red, green, and blue colors. That's why the screens use the RGB color model. Matter absorbs light and pigment is matter, therefore, the pigment does the opposite, the opposite of RGB is CMY. CMY is the more appropriate primary colors since they have a wider gamut (almost all colors) than RYB and can even make colors that RYB can't make. Also, RYB can't create pure black, they will create a grayish brownish muddy mixture and mix darker colors and its secondary colors are too dark and dull to paint different types of paintings.
This RGB color model creates a perfect triangle in our color vision that bases off a white light in the center and by far, the most prevalent and effective since it can create pretty much almost perceivable colors and many electronic devices use it. That's why it is also recommended that we should use brighter CMY in arts and mixing colors in schools. IDK why. We should improve our learning, not just being conservative and sticking to the traditional primary colors learned in our childhood.
There is not much difference between printing or layering and mixing. Both still add pigments and "subtract" light, so the resulting mixture will be darker. Layering uses translucent medium allowing the light to pass through the media, but the downside to this is that the last color that is layered on top will dominate and give the resulting color a tinge of the last color. Many didn't even know that mixing colors is like mixing a bag of sand or making a checker of alternating colors and seeing them from afar, not knowing that it's actually a mixture by those colors.
Paints, crayons, and inks have hues that mix darker mixture, therefore, they are pigments. There are actually so many pigments, including sand, filters on top of each other, pigments found in organisms, food, plastics, cosmetics, color pencils, pastels, markers, etc. The color doesn't matter, the medium does matter. Inks use translucent medium while paints use an opaque medium. If paints use an opaque CMY medium, CMY will work. Why the heck would you use literally translucent CMY inks for painting?
These UA-cam videos also prove:

This proofs also made me think that why are we so conservative that RYB are still taught in schools till this time.
thanks for the tips, its going to help me with my mapping and gis exam tomorrow :) this video was really friendly and easy to understand and super helpful!
Great! Really helpful!
I liked the voice-over of the girl too :)
I liked your video very much, quick, to the point, and informative. Only thing I wanted for in the end was to have it all in one place on a chart for reference. Nice job.
No.... cyan magenta and yellow are the true primary colors
Do we need to make a distinction between primary colors used in printing and primary colors used in pigments like oil paint?
CMY are more like the virtual primary colors or CMYK are usually used in printers
@@renzo6490 No, because the CMY is the perfect scheme. You can substitute Cyan-Magenta-Yellow with Cerulean-Quinacridone-Hansa and the result will be pretty much the same. Won't see a differance. But it's the CMY scheme you orient on.
Both oil-paints and ink ARE pigments and DO follow the same CMY scheme.
@@pc6985 she doesn't need to read that article. She already stated correctly that Cyan-Magenta-Yellow are the true primary colors.
Cyan-Magenta-Yellow is what you are supposed to mix on paper as your primary colors. But this youtube video suggests Red-Blue-Yellow instead. This video is advertising the wrong set of colors as a primary ones.
Cyan-Magenta-Yellow are the true primary colors.
@@pc6985 This video is about pigment. We are mixing paint. The primary color scheme for that is CMY.
The video suggested RYB for the pigment. And RYB is not a set of primary colors, neither for pigment nor for light. While we are trying to straighten that out, you start nagging about light. Wrong comment section my friend. This one is about paint, therefore pigment, therefore the CMY scheme. Don't involve unrelated stuff.
Video suggested R Y B. The video is wrong. The video is misleading. R Y B paints are not primary.
As a make-up artist I use the basics of the colour wheel that's complementary colours tones and shades don't forget primary secondary colours but I thought I'd look up just for fun and I forgot how detailed colour theory is
Ok, now guys, try to create Cyan with this theory:)
mix blue and green
@@hernancuevas2310 true
hernan cuevas cyan is more like blue mixed with white and a bit of green
@@alisonfranyutti5643 cyan cannot be achieved from other colors.
That's the point. You can mix cyan with ruby color and you will get BLUE.
Because Cyan is primary and Blue is secondary, but not all the way around.
Cyan-Magenta-Yellow is what primary colors are called.
Thank you so much!!! I've been trying to find information on these basics for a few months now! Thank you for sharing this in such a clear and easy manner! ... please do more on colour theory!! ❤️

You should also buy white and black paint as well
This is the BEST tutorial on this I have ever come across! Thank you!
This video is the best, it went over everything that is going to be on my quiz this week.
i have periodically watched this video many times for reference, thank you!!
Love the detail you go to. Great job. Tertiary is often confused however, tertiary refers to three, so the two secondary colours must contain a combination of all three primary colours. Having taught this for years I was always amazed how many art teachers got this wrong.
Keep up the great work in your videos. ;)
Tertiary refers to third, yes. Tertiary in regard to the 12-hue color circle is an ordinal position. Each tertiary hue is created by mixing TWO primaries. Red-orange is the blend of red and yellow. Yellow-orange is also a blend of red and yellow, but in different proportions. Secondary hues also contain just two primaries, not three. Orange contains red and yellow.
As for complements and split-complements, that's where all three primaries come into play in a color relationship. A complementary pair contains all three primaries in balance. A split (near) complementary pair contains all three primaries but not in balance.
Alvalyn Lundgren I really appreciate you taking the time to reply in such depth, it clearly shows your passion about art which I love to see. But as a teacher who is passionate about this, I’m about to use a word that I rarely, if ever try to use when teaching, and that is to say I’m afraid this info is wrong. You can spend hours online looking for references, and sadly over the years due to the simplification of the colour wheel, tertiary colours have become misinterpreted. You should check out this great website which explains the issues of “ the great debate “ regards to the distortion of the definition of tertiary colours over the years.
www.teachkidsart.net/the-great-tertiary-color-debate/
Quite simply put, tertiary colours must contain all 3 primary colours, even if one of the 3 colours is just 1%. Maybe one day the true meaning of tertiary will once again be fully understood but in the meantime, no matter what your interpretation, as long as you’re enjoying the creative process then life is good! ;)
Great video!! It has started pulling things together concerning colors in a more meaningful way! It’s probably the best presentation of this sort that I’ve seen so far. Thank you so much!
Our art teacher used this video for our notes in class.Thank you!It was very helpful!!!!
This was a great upload thank you. recently been applying for Concept art work and Colour theory came up so looked it up here. cant believe being an artist all my life I was so ignorant of this. Ofc I knew about primary but the rest was a real eye-opener. Gona try remember all this and experiment on Photoshop. Thx again you ROCK
I'm a flexographic printer so this stuff is second nature to me but it amazing how many people can't get their heads around ink mixing. It is quite an art
Loved your crisp and clear explanation and your humor!
This an excellent video explaining colour theory. Simple and to the point. I'll be using this as a reference for projects in future. Thank you.

Thank you very much.....This really helped me a lot...especialy that it is already out examination tommorow...
Contrary to the misconceptions of some, Tertiary Colors ARE NOT those the fall in between the primary and secondary; those are Intermediate colors. Tertiary Colors are those third teir colors that result from either mixing any two secondary colors, or, by mixing varying proportions of all three Primary Colors.
Thanks for the video... I hope you could share some content about colour matching.. Which colours could attract peoples eyes the most and most fat colour choices... I find it very useful and hope to see more from you. Wishing you all the best
I love your color wheel 😍❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you for keeping it simple and short! It was very helpful!!
I grew up with the color wheel. Red is the darkest primary color, purple is the darkest secondary color and red-purple is the darkest tertiary color. Am I right or wrong?
I don't understand how this brilliant video gets thumb-downs c'mon people.
