Just found this channel. Gonna binge tf out of it lol

[dvoraklovelace]

Broooo you resume hundreds of hours of "masterclasses" in a single video. Thanks a lot!

[NicolasLunaFilms]

Well done. I've been a professional colorist for years... Now I teach color at a university in the film department... I was racking my brain for a good way to explain color spaces without overwhelming my students. This has helped exponentially.

[raulgalets]

this is the single video on the internet getting "what is color" almost perfectly correct. congratulations.

[coolguy]

You are singlehandedly rendering it possible to understand comprehensibly subject matters that are core to an entire industry I intend to build a career in.
THANK YOU ❤️

[gagan.dee.p]

All the concepts that you explain in your videos; I have never understood them with such clarity before.
Your narration and explanation technique is elegant. I was able to follow you.
Your content is devoid of unnecessary flashy video effects, shouting, and overacting. So no distractions or bs.
Please don't change your style. Massive respect. You are awesome!

[philippfrogel]

I am not even halfway through. This video is incredible!

[naratt]

Your content is such a hidden gem in YouTube ocean.

[coderdbd]

Amazing video, it deserves more views. I actually didn't know what color spaces were and now it is super clear. Thanks for the explanation!

[valgustale]

absolutely loved it's one of the most helpful video i've watched in 2023 thanks for creating this mate

[helloitsmehb]

I hereby declare you, King of Color Nerdism! Congrats and well done! Love your channel

[earthoid]

I finally understand where the CIE 1931 color space got its shape from. Thanks!

[Nugcon]

This clears up so much. Such a great video from such a small channel

[braunventures]

brilliant, thanks for helping me build knowledge on a strong base

[ayacyte]

I've been searching far and wide for an explanation- it finally makes more sense now. I don't think I've found such a simple yet comprehensive video.

[utkarshkothimbire]

Thanks a lot, Camon for explaining all the concepts in a crisp manner. Very much appreciated. You have explained these complex concepts in very simple maner with the diagrams.

[largemagellaniccloud]

Thank you very much, Camon, for your excellent videos. You are a very cogent thinker and presenter.

[king_of_baboons]

I don't work in this industry but I've spent years trying to figure out this topic. I did a lot of research and this video is the best among all of them. Fantastic job explaining everything with enough depth and reasoning!

[numkim]

Thank you! I wasted a hour of my life trying to decypher the Wikipedia page and still don't understand it. This video explains everything immediately!

[franks.]

Very understandable and useful. Good job!

To further understand, why there are always two opposing frequencies that produce the same colour impression, one could add to 6:37: With the assymmetric overlapping of the susceptibility curves and the approx. proportional response of each cone to the combined weighted intensity of all frequencies, Grassmann's Laws hold as follows: Any vector of three visible spectral frequencies (f1, f2, f3) maps linearly to (S, M, L) spanning a convex subset of a 3d vector space.

Linear algebra then shows, that due to linear independence in 3d, even after projecting out intensity (luminence) to a 2d subspace, you can counteract any shift of one spectral frequency with a shift of the other frequency to get the same S:M:L impression. Then you tweak the horseshoe shape to make the lengths all the line segments, that meet in the same color impression, to reflect their mixing ratios. And this, too, is possible because of linearity and smoothness of the cone response.
