That’s exactly what I was thinking. I have so many memories of mixing red and blue to my dissatisfaction and then mixing the purple paint with the mixture to make it “more purple” and I always wondered why
Todd M Casey - The Oil Painters Color Handbook . About the best and most up to date colour theory book there is, imho. The Gurney book is excellent as well. Also if you use Gamblin oil paints, that would be helpful as well in understand colour theory. Gamblin oil paint has Munsell notation for each tube of colour.
Interesting! Btw, what are you going to do now that TikTok is going to be banned? Maybe you could continue uploading videos here, in the shorts format, and long videos for the topics that require it.
Well, I've got the tiktok archive all downloaded. Been toying with the idea of editing them into themed compilations and posting a playlist of them here.
The tedious-chronological-scroll and walled-garden qualities of tiktok are a major barrier to me re-finding and sharing more of your videos. Having all your stuff on youtube in a more structured format would be a dream come true honestly. Mirroring stuff on UI-nightmare walled-garden sites can be important for reach, but god do I wish more people I followed made the important parts of their work truly publicly accessible on a technological level.
question for you about your color wheel. is it for pigment or perceptual and for light? your disk seems to be pigment focused but i’ve always heard you talk about perceptual color wheels. i’m looking at your color wheel and shouldn’t one, if they are trying to perceptually create a color wheel, shouldnt we represent the red/green and blue/yellow as opposites, as those result in neutral / gray in the eye? of course i am talking about light mixing. The opponent-process theory of color vision describes how the brain perceives color in terms of opposing pairs, Red vs. Green, Blue vs. Yellow These pairs arise because of the filtering system in your brain, which processes the cone signals as contrasts between colors. This approach explains why “reddish-green” or “bluish-yellow” cannot exist as perceivable colors they cancel each other out. could you make a video on this!
The opponent pairs are not "Red-green" and "blue-yellow", they are actually, in pure opponent process theory, more accurately described as rose-mint and lemon-violet, preserving the additive complementaries. Theoretically, an opponent process space (Lab) is just a linear transformation of the LMS color space.
I just want Crayola stopped. Women act like those color names are scientific. Fushia is a dumb name for a color, for example. No one knows what that is!
Fuchsia is somewhat scientific. "The color fuchsia was introduced as the color of a new aniline dye called fuchsine, patented in 1859 by the French chemist François-Emmanuel Verguin."
The "Bleh" for the earth-toned violet brings back memories from elementary school!

Once you know about Cyan and Magenta there is no going back.
Anyone else notice that yellow is mirrored “w.LEY”?
Can you please recommend a good, modern, up-to-date book about basic color theory? With correct charts and explanations?
james gurney's colour and light

2:00 even at first sight, that violet red looks suspiciously bright.
I’m so glad you are here! now that I can’t watch you on TikTok :(
Thanks for sticking with me!

@ do you have a citation for that? i would like to read this paper.
