Colour grading this video was a nightmare! I've got as close as I can to the real colour - Stuart gave me a small pot of the pigment to take home! - but it's just not quite there. It's not more saturated, it's not brighter, it's just... a tiny bit more pink, somehow.
Have you watched the 21 minute video on the colour brown that basically says it doesn't exist (without context)? Search UA-cam, 'Brown; color is wierd'
I know this video is 3 years old now but Stuart Semple's art materials are genuinely amazing and I'd highly recommend buying from him if you're not Anish Kapoor
I just got this pigment. It REALLY is hard to explain how pink it is. On its own, it just POPS. Like, I have ALL sorts of fluorescent colors, and the most fluorescent pink I owned before this now looks magenta next to it. But under a blacklight, this pigment literally looks glitch-in-the-matrix level of pink.
I'm getting the impression here that it would...hurt your eyes, almost vaguely similar sensations to staring at the Sun, how overwhelming and slightly painful that looks and feels.
I saw another video about this pink, and I don't know if they messed up the colour balance or something, but I just saw it and went "That's not pink; it's magenta."
I just watched a 4 minute advertisement showing off a product while literally telling me that it's impossible for me to experience or witness the product without buying it myself.
Am I the only one who wishes they DIDNT use pink for her now all the time? And also in life in the dream house they always make her seem so perfect this was kinda off topic but yes.
As a painter regularly trying to photograph my paintings I can attest to the fact that digital devices really struggle to accurately depict many colours. Not to mention tones.
That's a whole separate mess. Even if all the colors in your painting are within the gamut of reproducible ones, cameras will record them incorrectly and, in many cases, they will be impossible to correct.
@@scorpioigor that's the issues that images tech can't solve in our lifetime or near future i would be happy if it solve soon but again color accurate monitor is expensive and people don't really need it because again the more accurate the color is the more expenisve it is and i doubt most people would even care even gamers too because people who use very accurate color monitor is digital artist/video editor/designer who isn't the majority of people that need to see the real pinkest pink color ever in this video
Fun Fact: That is called the gestaltzerfall effect or something like that and it also happens when you read a word so many times that you question how its spelled.
Van Gogh did this with yellow. I can not describe how bright the yellow in his sunflower painting is in person. It's even more amazing when you consider the fact that it has faded over time.
I love hearing about these. “Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue” is a painting that many say had a similar effect in the red paint. It was unfortunately vandalized though.
Note: By watching this video, you confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, you are in no way affiliated to Anish Kapoor, you are not watching this on behalf of Anish Kapoor or an associate of Anish Kapoor. To the best of knowledge, information, and belief, this video will not make it's way into that hands of Anish Kapoor.
This explains why you can sometimes take a picture of something super colorful, like a sunset, and it feels like the camera just doesn't do it justice.
This has been a huge source of hilarious drama in the art community. After Anish Kapoor stuck his middle finger in pink as pink, Stewart Semple produced a pigment shown in the video, diamond dust. This pigment is made out of super finely crushed glass... meaning, Anish cannot stick his middle finger in it without being in a considerable amount of pain.
As a floral designer, the most frustrating part about immortalizing my works with digital photography is the inability of screens to accurately depict the subtlest nuances and shifts in luminosity and glow that flower colors have to them. I’m guessing the pinkest pink is like flowers: luminous and multidimensional.

The word blue is such a blanket term. Some shades of it are so different they look as if they should be considered different colours.

Yes, but all black means it absorbs all visible light, and all white means it reflects and diffuses all visible light. What the hell does all pink mean?
It would be clever marketing, it it wasn't absolutely true. Many pigments are colours that reside outside the 'pixel colour triangle' of the standard RGB camera or screen. there are several reds that are redder than anything current technology can show us, and blues, and greens. for 99% of applications, what your screen shows you is enough.. but artists exist where screens don't need to be. and THAT is the point of the video, I think.
Tashkiira No, it is clever marketing because they are showing you something you can’t see.

@@freddykrueger8076 You're implying Tom is shilling for them, though. He's not. BECAUSE he's not shilling, but actually trying to explain a fact, *even if the person producing these profits*, it's not marketing, as far as Tom is concerned, so Tom is not engaged in marketing. Now, SEMPLE could be called out for marketing, he's actually profiting (via exposure) from this (the whole 'pinkest pink' deal was an amusing viral concept a while back, and teasing Anish Kapoor was a definite dig and marketing strategy), but while he's definitely running a business, he's also an artist, and I think a big part of what the whole line of colours is about is literally getting the high-end pigments into the hands of those artists that need them. Most artists no longer make their own paints and pigments, for better or for worse, and Semple is willing to supply them to others at a very reasonable cost. 4 pounds for 2 ounces of high-end professional grade art pigments is dirt cheap. Marketing isn't a particular focus for him, other than occasionally acting as the face for his brand (Culture Hustle is the actual studio/company; Semple's the leader of the studio but that only goes so far).
Not even an OLED can display the blackest black - it's made of carbon nanotubes so that it can absorb more light than any material - including the turned off pixels in your OLED screen. The only way they'd be able to display that color is if they too were made of carbon nanotubes, in which case, your screen would always be the blackest black, because it would absorb all light.
hello dio how did you end up here do you not have the money to buy the pink paint yourself Just go buy it yourself and see the secrets they hide has the Jonathan blood gone up to your brain and turned you good or something? did it make you unable to uncover others’ secrets?
If you’ve ever been on a Caribbean cruise and looked at the water between islands, you’ll understand this. It is so blue that it is indescribable. Truly the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
Or if you visit Ireland, the greens in the countryside are indescribably green. They don't even fully translate when you take a photo of them. They are the greenest greens that ever greened.
Synthesizing chemicals, especially strong pigments and dyes, wasn't really common since chemistry wasn't understood well. People in antiquity weren't the most concerned with preserving ancient history. They saw mummies, they saw a source of consistent colored pigment
i literally adore stuart semple. he’s so cool and all his stuff is really cheap, especially as far as art supplies go (plus it pisses off anish kapoor which is just the icing on the cake tbh)
Sorry, he is American. I think of him as a British only because he does engage a lot with a lot of other British youtubers and his voice kinda sounds British-y to me.
This is very cool! Even on my screen, this already looks impressively bright and pink--I can't imagine what it must be like to experience it in person!
Pop it under a spectrometer and gives us the results. Than use the measured spectrum to generate the values that do represent this pink (even though they might be larger than 255 or smaller than 0). Using that generate an image using that pink and some colour correction methods (gamut mapping comes to mind) to force the pink into showable values. The resulting image will not contain the actual pink, however it will gives us an idea of how different it is to other colours which will look washed out in the corrected image.
I'm coming back to this because Adobe is locking Pantone colors in all of their files because reasons, but Stuart has gone and released a plugin to release them! Truly a hero of open art
Kind of the stuff you see in thumbnails of 5-minute crafts videos. (Can only talk about their thumbnails because I haven't ever clicked on a single video)
I was really hoping he would explain precisely the difference in what we see vs what it actually is perhaps with the scientific definition of ultimate pink and how close simulated digital pink gets preferably with a precise measurement of each.
Earthbjorn Nahkaimurrao yeah, instead we're just told, "nope, technology isn't good enough". How would we know when it was? What's happening aside from it being outside most colorspace?
Ah stuart semple! My fave petty person in the world! No seriously love this guy! As an artist I found it completely ridiculous that the exclusive rights to even USE a pigment went to a single artist and it's disgusting Anish Kapoor allowed it
I'll just assume it's like looking at a yellow highlighter. The exact yellow that is highlighter yellow is very specific, and also not like anything else I've ever seen. Or like the red from a red rose. There is a brilliance to a red rose that can't be captured properly by any image I've ever seen. The deepness and brilliance is astounding. I could look at deep red roses for a long time fascinated by the specific red that a red rose petal has.
@@briansmith8967 What happens there is that invisible UV light gets turned into visible yellow (or whatever) light, so the yellow is brighter than the paper it is on. But on your monitor/TV screen, it won't be, because the white is all three pixels fully on, whereas the yellow is only two pixels fully on.
@@katbryce The computer screen could be considered already brighter than paper so by displaying paper color as less than white it is possible to display a brighter yellow
@@jhgvvetyjj6589 yep, the explanation tom gives does not really tell what's going on. We all learned about the 3 colors that can make up all others if mixed correctly. But that's not quite right. The color receptors in our eyes have more complicated absobtion spectra. Especially in the "blue" range. There is no frequency of light that looks blue but does not stimulate the red or the green receptor. But there is a point where the red cells are almost blind. You can never mix this color on a 3-color screen. (a bright light blue or turquoise color) Because it has to use a higher frequency to be able to produce this deeper blue. To make the point clear: it's not that it is not bright enough. But the balance between the receptor activities can not be achieved with a 3 color scheme.
There was also the plan to make Anish Kapoor's statue 'The Bean' covered in pinkest pink that was put up one Facebook if I have my blackest black vs. vantablack rivalry facts right
1:46 Okay I took my jeweler lens and this pink makes the red band of the pixels literally pink. Very pink. The blue and green bands are pretty much off.
I took photos of a Scarlet tanager about a year ago - in full sunlight, it looked like it had been plugged into an outlet and turned on. I thought I'd have some terrific pictures to show off. The photos were terrible: much of the red was completely blown out, replaced with a yellowish orange color as the camera's computer (an expensive Nikon) lost its mind trying to process what it was seeing. I think the feathers must absorb extra light at other wavelengths and convert it to red, on top of the red that's already there.
@@katdeville that's why I occasionally pull out my film camera to shoot. Unfortunately, I need to wait 3 weeks for my two rolls of Ektachrome to get developed and returned.
@@katdeville yeap. The best photo I've ever seen came off a film camera back in the mid 90s. It was taken down the main street here in Dunedin, New Zealand by my late grandmother. It was of a protest march being led by a police car with it's light bar and headlights lit up. To this day, the photo (which I have not seen for some 20 years) still sticks in my mind as the best colour reproduction and clarity I have ever seen anywhere. The depth and precise colours were amazing, along with absolutely no washing or misrepresentation of actual colours.
"I think the feathers must absorb extra light at other wavelengths and convert it to red, on top of the red that's already there." Close, but not quite. What you experienced was the structural colour inherent to the tanager's feathers, on top of its pigmentation, adding red on red on red.
So we now have an idea of the brightest bright, the darkest dark, the pinkest pink, ... Time to go for cross challenges like the darkest light, the pinkest green, the yellowest blue, ...
Colour grading this video was a nightmare! I've got as close as I can to the real colour - Stuart gave me a small pot of the pigment to take home! - but it's just not quite there. It's not more saturated, it's not brighter, it's just... a tiny bit more pink, somehow.
Tom Scott Now I'm disappointed I can't see the colour, what I'm looking at doesn't exist in the real world ha.

@@freddykrueger8076 You're implying Tom is shilling for them, though. He's not. BECAUSE he's not shilling, but actually trying to explain a fact, *even if the person producing these profits*, it's not marketing, as far as Tom is concerned, so Tom is not engaged in marketing.
Now, SEMPLE could be called out for marketing, he's actually profiting (via exposure) from this (the whole 'pinkest pink' deal was an amusing viral concept a while back, and teasing Anish Kapoor was a definite dig and marketing strategy), but while he's definitely running a business, he's also an artist, and I think a big part of what the whole line of colours is about is literally getting the high-end pigments into the hands of those artists that need them. Most artists no longer make their own paints and pigments, for better or for worse, and Semple is willing to supply them to others at a very reasonable cost. 4 pounds for 2 ounces of high-end professional grade art pigments is dirt cheap. Marketing isn't a particular focus for him, other than occasionally acting as the face for his brand (Culture Hustle is the actual studio/company; Semple's the leader of the studio but that only goes so far).

Not even an OLED can display the blackest black - it's made of carbon nanotubes so that it can absorb more light than any material - including the turned off pixels in your OLED screen. The only way they'd be able to display that color is if they too were made of carbon nanotubes, in which case, your screen would always be the blackest black, because it would absorb all light.

Pop it under a spectrometer and gives us the results. Than use the measured spectrum to generate the values that do represent this pink (even though they might be larger than 255 or smaller than 0). Using that generate an image using that pink and some colour correction methods (gamut mapping comes to mind) to force the pink into showable values. The resulting image will not contain the actual pink, however it will gives us an idea of how different it is to other colours which will look washed out in the corrected image.
I like your thinking here.

Ah stuart semple! My fave petty person in the world!
No seriously love this guy! As an artist I found it completely ridiculous that the exclusive rights to even USE a pigment went to a single artist and it's disgusting Anish Kapoor allowed it
I'll just assume it's like looking at a yellow highlighter. The exact yellow that is highlighter yellow is very specific, and also not like anything else I've ever seen. Or like the red from a red rose. There is a brilliance to a red rose that can't be captured properly by any image I've ever seen. The deepness and brilliance is astounding. I could look at deep red roses for a long time fascinated by the specific red that a red rose petal has.
Some of that brilliance is because of a UV component, which humans can see (partially), but can’t be displayed on a monitor or in film.
@@briansmith8967 What happens there is that invisible UV light gets turned into visible yellow (or whatever) light, so the yellow is brighter than the paper it is on. But on your monitor/TV screen, it won't be, because the white is all three pixels fully on, whereas the yellow is only two pixels fully on.
ohhhhhh that's a good comparison and really helped me wrap my mind around this
@@katbryce The computer screen could be considered already brighter than paper so by displaying paper color as less than white it is possible to display a brighter yellow
@@jhgvvetyjj6589 yep, the explanation tom gives does not really tell what's going on. We all learned about the 3 colors that can make up all others if mixed correctly. But that's not quite right. The color receptors in our eyes have more complicated absobtion spectra. Especially in the "blue" range. There is no frequency of light that looks blue but does not stimulate the red or the green receptor. But there is a point where the red cells are almost blind. You can never mix this color on a 3-color screen. (a bright light blue or turquoise color) Because it has to use a higher frequency to be able to produce this deeper blue.
To make the point clear: it's not that it is not bright enough. But the balance between the receptor activities can not be achieved with a 3 color scheme.
There was also the plan to make Anish Kapoor's statue 'The Bean' covered in pinkest pink that was put up one Facebook if I have my blackest black vs. vantablack rivalry facts right
Also, stuff like 'Flick the Bean', and other fun stuff to ridicule that hideous statue.
"Can it be true? That I hold here, in my mortal hand, a nugget of purest... pink?"

1:46 Okay I took my jeweler lens and this pink makes the red band of the pixels literally pink. Very pink.

I took photos of a Scarlet tanager about a year ago - in full sunlight, it looked like it had been plugged into an outlet and turned on. I thought I'd have some terrific pictures to show off.
The photos were terrible: much of the red was completely blown out, replaced with a yellowish orange color as the camera's computer (an expensive Nikon) lost its mind trying to process what it was seeing. I think the feathers must absorb extra light at other wavelengths and convert it to red, on top of the red that's already there.
It's possible! That's what's called fluorescence.
That is why I will never see digital photos the same as I did film and paper ones. Digital can not interpolate colours the same.
@@katdeville that's why I occasionally pull out my film camera to shoot. Unfortunately, I need to wait 3 weeks for my two rolls of Ektachrome to get developed and returned.
@@katdeville yeap.
The best photo I've ever seen came off a film camera back in the mid 90s. It was taken down the main street here in Dunedin, New Zealand by my late grandmother. It was of a protest march being led by a police car with it's light bar and headlights lit up.
To this day, the photo (which I have not seen for some 20 years) still sticks in my mind as the best colour reproduction and clarity I have ever seen anywhere. The depth and precise colours were amazing, along with absolutely no washing or misrepresentation of actual colours.
"I think the feathers must absorb extra light at other wavelengths and convert it to red, on top of the red that's already there."
Close, but not quite. What you experienced was the structural colour inherent to the tanager's feathers, on top of its pigmentation, adding red on red on red.
