Color Theory is a 'piece of cake'

I believe the digital color selection tools we use tend to make color comparisons much more difficult to visualize. In this video, I'll attempt to explain how this 100+-year old color system (The Munsell system) can help you visualize color differences and balance that contrast in your own art.

Great video!!! You are a very good teacher. This is a very difficult topic that you made easyer!!! Thankss a lott man!!!

I think this would make most sense as a sphere. with "white" and "black" being polar opposites. That way contrast can be more easily measured and compared among all value, hue, and saturation.

Fabulous video (a fully staturated word used in order to stand out against 'wishy washy' and' similar to others' video) Loved it, thank you.

Thank you for creating this! I've long struggled to really understand color selections and contrasts, but this video helped a great deal in making it more easily digestible and understood.
