Thanks Eva, this was super helpful for understanding how to make almost any color from the primary paints I bought to start off with. Can’t wait for your next color mixing video!

I have gotten several comments to my watercolor Chart video here, and wanted to give you some additional resources, if you find the whole concept of warm versus cool colors confusing. Blue seems to be the color blue that creates the most confusion. However, just remember, we all see colors differently, and it's okay! Below I have links to some really expert and excellent sources to help explain the warm versus cool color dilemma for you. Here is the video from Daniel Smith on the the Split Primary Essential Watercolor Set - as you can see in the video, they also call the French Ultramarine Blue Warm and the Phthalo Blue Cool: @atgQ And if you go to Jane Blundell's website (she is one of the ultimate color experts in the watercolor world) where she has an extensive list of all the watercolors out there, you can also see that she calls all the French Ultramarine Blues warm, and the Phthalo Blues cool: @t Finally here is a good warm/cool color wheel by Michael Townsend from Golden Artist Colors, Inc.: @t Whatever you do, and however you see colors, have fun with them!

I was happy to find your video and the links you included to explain why the French Ultramarine is a warm color and the Phthalo Blue is cool color. I recently purchased the Daniel Smith Essential Watercolor Mixing set and the information insert under the Mixing Guide that comes in the paint package says just the opposite! Thanks for clearing things up!

Thank you so much for your kind comments. Glad you found my video helpful. I’m so puzzled why they have misleading information in the set itself. If you go to the Daniel Smith website and watch their video about the Essential Watercolor Mixing set the correctly say That the French Ultramarine is warm and the Phthalo Blue is cool. Maybe a proofreading error? Anyway, glad I could help you. Wishing lots of fun exploring colors!

I was watching your instruction early this morning my computer crashed - restarted again took me 4 hours to find yu on you-tube - won't make the same mistake I wrote your name down on my notes this time.. - Yu are so helpful understanding the w and c colors

Eva Nichols Art, You might pin your replies & explanation to maha alamri to the top; since it’s the final concept to complete this tutorial; i.e. warm & cool have to be relative to something. So, for any given pair, even though by general convention, French Ultra is generally taken as warm … it may or may not be in a given situation. Even though one can find references to Fr. Ultra. being cool or warm, (often on the same website) neither is incorrect depending on context. Thanks for a well done tutorial.

Thank you so much for your comment - yes everything regarding color temperature, value and hue is relative to what you're comparing to! I love your idea of pinning my extensive comment to Maha Alamri to the top, but I don't know how to do that. If I figure it out, I'll do it!

Do you think I could maybe replace New Gamboge with Hansa Yellow Deep? They look pretty similar in hue. But does it work as well for mixing the different colors?

@EvaNichols28

Thank you so mich for your question about substituting New Gamboge with Hansa Yellow Deep. I don't have Hansa Yellow Deep, but I think it will work just fine - from what I can see on various color swatches of different brands that is also a warm yellow, just like New Gamboge. Let me know how it works and happy painting.

@@kreativeReise You are so welcome - I am sure it's going to work just fine, you should never feel confined to only using the colors you see in tutorials - and when creating this little exercise with split primary colors, you can substitute any of the primaries with another primary as long as they are in the same color family. Just like New Gamboge and Hansa Yellow Deep. If we compared our results they may be a little different, but not much, and this is just to show you some of the many color combinations you can create with your colors. No need to go buy more colors - just have fun learning what the colors you own can do! Have fun!

I thought ultramarine is the cool blue!!!!

@EvaNichols28

Hi Maha, You know that's actually something people debate often. However, the way I see colors (and most artists) the French Ultramarine is a warm blue, as it is closer to red than for instance Cobalt Blue (close to what we consider a "true blue") or the Phthalo Blue (GS) which is closer to yellow. The closer yellow gets to green, the cooler it's considered, and the closer yellow gets to red (orange), the warmer it's considered. So for me that means that blue, which is the cool color in our primaries, would also be warmer when it gets closer to red, and visa versa. However, I have certainly taken classes with artists, that see it differently. So, you should stay true to how you see colors, I think!

Of course everyone has their own perception of color, and warm or cool really is relative. You have to ask: Compared to what.

I get confused with these particular blues. I can see one has more yellow and the other has more red but it appears to me that the one with the red is a cooler color than the one with more yellow. This hurts my brain. 😂
