That's one of the clearest and most comprehensive videos on the subject I've ever seen!

This info is exactly what I needed to know and memorize so that I can retain it and move on in learning to color with coloring pencils. It is an old video, but it is so perfect for me. I am so glad you made it and it is still up. I follow a colorist, but she is past the very newbie stuff. You are an angel. I made notes on what you've taught me today lol. I'm getting to be older and more forgetful lol. Thanx again for making this. I looked forever to find just what I needed and this is it.

If you want to memorize, just put on loop while doing work or something. After 4 or 5 times you'll just know it. Repeat with every other educational youtube video to become the internet.

I'm not an artist, but I do want to learn color for webpages and user interfaces.

I don't do art as a profession, but art is one of my favorite areas. I'm very happy to learn about color, which is the basis of art, through these good videos.

Thank you sooo much for the clear and concise breakdown. Im a tattoo artist and had never before this taken the time to look into color theory (crazy yes) 15+ years slingin ink without this knowledge. This was exactly what I needed. Thanks again!

CMY are primary:
Red = Magenta + Yellow
Indigo = Magenta + Cyan
Turquoise = Cyan + a little of Yellow
Purple = Magenta + a little of Cyan
Orange = Yellow + a little of Magenta
Lime = Yellow + Cyan
And what do we have with RYB??? Red and Blue = dirty Purple. Yellow and Blue = dirty Green. It's a contaminated pallet. I do oil painting and deal with pigments on a daily basis.

oh my gosh, thank you so much for this! I was watching newbie color theory stuff and no one was defining anything. I love you for this.

My dream is to become an artist. I've finished another bachelor degree for reasons that i couldn't control. I thought that this dream was just whim and that i would forget about it when i concentrate in my current profession, but as the years have past by i've realized that it is always with me. This videos are amazing, simple, concrete yet full of inspiration, and make me feel closer to my dream. Thank you!

Thank you for the video. I'm homeschooling my grandsons and we all have learned the basics of the color wheel. Learning the terms was the best part.

Omg this was so helpful and at the simple level I needed for starting out. I’m trying to learn more about colours so that my drawings/art is a little more cohesive, I’m confident in drawing but not so much in adding colours 😅

I am a fellow art teacher, and I am thrilled that I found your video. It says all that I wanted to say in class on this topic. Thank you.

also, warm colors are perceived as closer, while cool colors tend to recede .
