one of the most clear explanations about color...

Bringing down the value of black with white makes it bluer, to adhere to the original red hue mix the same value of orange which is opposite of blue to the red mixture. This will make sure that the red does not lean towards red-blue while changing the saturation ( ie creating shades) but keeping the value constant.

This has been super helpful for me, who is just starting out with acrylic color and didn't know how to give color tones to shadows. Thank you so much!

Your video deserves lot more likes man. Amazing and simple way to to explain.

[snehar]

Correction: Adding black decreases the saturation of a color one step only, adding the same black further will only decrease its value/darken the hue. In order to decrease the saturation further you need to mix red with additional green to the grey you had initially mixed. Hope this makes sense.

I'm taking an intro color theory class and am nervous, though excited, about using paint for the first time. Your video explained hue, value, and saturation very well with wonderful visuals. Thank you!

In all simplicity:
Hues: pure/distinct color
Tints: hue+white
Tones: hue+grey
Shades: hue+black
Note: tints, shades, and tones are all desaturated colors. You can also desaturate colors using their complimentary colors and using the exact complimentary color will give you gray. Idk if there is a special term for this desaturation tho.

Hey so when making shades of a color the reason why you said its value will go down his be value is how light or dark a color is. Then lowering the saturation because black is pure neutral and achromatic?

[Timba]

Love the explanations, it all makes sense now. Thank you!

[faizii]

Nice one! Percentage of white and black to make grey? Please mention it.

I have adding grey is added to adjust saturation, not white or black, is saturation is mid of tint and shade

Interesting color lesson. I'm curious, there is really no such natural color as dark yellow, so what color is mustard yellow?

[lisayuan]

you say there is 'no dark yellow' in nature. but what about mustard yellow, saffron, or goldenrod yellow?? those are strong, deep shades of yellow

[KatalinaKris]

Wait mind blown. There's no dark yellow in nature?! Ok I'm realizing this but like I'm pretty surr I've seen some in fruits?
