This video is about CMYK palette. The colors that are used here are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black (denoted as Key). The combination is popular and used in modern printing industry extensively. Black is used to darken the colors. These colors are known as true primaries.
A diagram in the video shows that a bright blue, green and red are possible to create. However, in the world of pigments the mixes turn out slightly different. While, the green and violets appear very bright, the orange remains slightly muted (yellow and magenta both being cool). A good red is obtainable but the blue is slightly muted.
Please let me know if you painted a picture with this palette. I'm definately looking forward to make one very soon. ENJOY this little color mixing video! :)
The colors that I used are Flake White Hue, Cadmium Lemon, Quinacridone Magenta (Sennelier), a mixed Turquoise (Pthalo Blue, Pthalo Green and White) and Ivory Black

Brushes that I used are mostly rounds. Rounds were through this vendor in amazon.in. www.amazon.in/...

Finally someone who paints with CMY! A lot of people think that painting and printing have different primaries, they completely ignore evidence against them.

Excellent way to display these primaries.

oh, that's a dark magenta.... Seems like red xd

Yes, it is an excellent palette.

Nice palette, but it doesn't looks like magenta but vermilion nor cyan but light blue.

[@KaustavMukherjeeFineArt]

It's actually due to lighting. cobalt teal is strangely opaque bluish green.

[@daikayll1897]

What paint brand do you use please ? I was exposed to this palette C , M & Y by a Scottish colourist , Scott Naismith. Same as they use in photocopy machines. Wonderful video , thanx. Hwyl from Wales.

[@KaustavMukherjeeFineArt]

Hi, great that you liked the video. I use a lot of brands like Daniel Smith (white), Gamblin (cobalt teal), Indian brand Camlin

[@creativecolours2022]

The blue mixes are muted because you added in the mix of Cyan white, which was needed of course because you are using oil paints.
The same mixes in watercolours, are going to give you very bright blues. And it is not even needed to premix the cyan. With a Mid yellow, magenta, phthalo blue and phthalo green you can mix all about everything.

This video taught us that we can create different colors with the three primary colors📝🎨. Nice instructional video👍.

Welcome 🙂

[@markcbeaumont4670]

isnt the 'M' a bit red and thats one reason why the oranges arent insipid. They are on pretty much any printed poster we just dont look for it. Cool rather than mid yellolw may have set it back slightly. Still nice to use real colours - a compromise between old and clinical palette as you get to use a real cool red (eg madder roe) and turquoise blue(eg cerulian) rather than kids colours

[@bsdiceman]

what is a better magenta?

[@markcbeaumont4670]

@@bsdiceman there isnt a better magenta if thats what you intend to use. There just arent any true primaries . A traditional red produces weaker purples while many colours halfway between traditional red and magenta work better for both worlds. Rose is often a name given to those pigments closest to magenta

How do I mix Persian Indigo if my CMYK is 47, 86, 0, 45? Please help. Thank you.

[@johntrevy1]

would be great if they come out with a color mixing machine in that you just input your CMYK values, and the machine precisely mixes the correct amount of paint to the desired color.

[@KaustavMukherjeeFineArt]

You already got one! 😉

[@johntrevy1]

@@KaustavMukherjeeFineArt Where? I know it is technically what printers do already, but for painters.

[@Jlbultron1836]

Then it would take out the magic of doing it by hand!!

It's called a printer it uses CMYK

[@MatinPanahi-ww8jb]

its better to use ultramarine instead of black

This is printing theory that got popular. I don't use CMYK. There are better color palettes

Why does yellow and black make muted green?

[@KaustavMukherjeeFineArt]

Yellow and black create a perfect natural green. Bright neon green is powerful but unnatural.

[@jackjackson0]

Magenta seems like a dark red. Why you dont use true magenta

[@KaustavMukherjeeFineArt]

This slight error was due to warm light. I use PR122 from Sennelier. No faking...

[@bsdiceman]

even pr122 isn't very saturated magenta and it has a bias

[@jackjackson0]

Actually, the purpose of my question is that the colors do not appear exactly with cmy at the 10th second. Why colors equivalent to 255 0 255 and 0 255 255 RGB colors are not used. Colors used in printers in bottles It even looks like different colors. My aim is not to judge but to understand. Because if a darker color is used, it seems to me that it is necessary to lighten it with white to find the right cyan color. The issue is not how it looks on a white page, but why cmyk colors, which are actually shown with the RGB color code, are not used, but darker tones are always used. I'm asking for information purposes.​@@KaustavMukherjeeFineArt

who is here to understand how printers use primary colors to form other colors?

Not magenta

Not for the CMY color wheel.
