You really thrive in these longer form videos! I love your tiktok page but it's great to have info all together rather than going on a treasure hunt. I watch all your videos religiously. Keep it up!

That was super interesting. I find it very difficult to intuitively judge the outcome of a mix of two colors. Now I know why that is and how to make a rough prediction.

I used the color wheel multiple times for getting color harmonies and the results has been always off to me. When you a good complimentary color design that you actually love it won't be 180 degrees on the wheel - the biological nature of human perception could not be represented with equal weights to colors. I think the next step would be using statistics: asking people en mass to rate color combinations and see if we can correct proportions of the wheel further.

Love the note about prescriptive naming vs descriptive naming! Let's work with the tide instead of wasting energy and time going against it trying to change an entire society's perceptions. Also super helpful learning that the colors mix on a curve instead of a straight line, it explains so much so well!! Definitely downloading your color wheel :)

This is so fascinating! Thank you for sharing this resource so generously. I can’t wait to learn more and apply it to botanical art!

Thank you Peter for being so interested in something and sharing what you know with the world. You are an amazing teacher in the way you illustrate the complexities of colour in such a beautiful and simplified way. I continue to learn so much!

I imagine this is a product you're selling - you could totally make this an interactive tool online or on a app. Maybe register a patent request too man - looks awesome!

Wow! This makes the colour hunt easy and adjusts it to human visual appeal. Nicely done and explained. Thanks!

Love this video, I've seen seperate features of the color disk in a bunch of your tiktoks already but it's realy nice to get a more complete breakdown of what it can do!

I need your color disc ASAP! Thank you for sharing!

This is brilliant, thank you so much for the clear explanation! Downloaded your color wheel, can't wait to play with it!

Yes! The “traditional” wheel is good as a scientific explanation of colors for elementary kids but it doesn’t translate to the human experience of color. It also doesn’t account for how the color and warmth of light interacts with how we perceive pigments. It’s why it is so important we have the correct color light when we give eye exams.

What an innovative color wheel!

That was all the missing pieces I needed! Thank you for clearing that up for me 🙏🏽

Thank you so much this is such a great tool I can't wait to used this for some color theory mixing

I'm so excited to show this to my students ❤ thank you so much for this work, what a gift

This is exciting (to/for me). I think the answers to some color-mixing mysteries (fails) lies within this marvelous work. This is my first tap into Color Nerd but I'm sure I'll be spending some serious time here. Thank you.

I say, “yellow-green” because not many people know what “chartreuse” which is not the same as “lime”. I also say, “orange-red” because no one know what color “vermilion” is. Artists use correct color terms, but not usually when talking to everyday people who don’t. An artist would know there’s a huge difference between violet/magenta/mauve when most would just say purple or scarlet/maroon/crimson/rose for red. For someone who knows the difference and can tell what colors make up each of these, it’s annoying to hear them not be used correctly. I feel like this is the difference between a hair stylist knowing that shears are not the same things as scissors or a dog groomer being able to distinguish each dog breed and their individual characteristics, etc, etc. once you know the difference, you can’t not see the names for each one the same as being ‘just yellow’ when there’s lemon yellow, gamboge, deep yellow, napes yellow….etc etc! 😂 Also, as someone who loves color and learning new things including how to mix colors and make their own paint from scratch, I just wanted to say that I’d pay goooood money if you made one of these charts that was much, much larger and also included every single color pigment out there, not just the ‘most commonly used ones’. You can take that idea and run with it if you want to because I’m sure there’s a lot of potential for marketing to those of us who make their own paints and who are pigment gurus out there…. Just saying! 😉😂

Thanks for your help.

It would be helpful if you included a link to your google drive where your color wheel lives. I had to do some digging.

Wow, I have been interested in the CIECAM model since architecture school a decade ago and have been waiting for years for something like this. Looking forward to seeing how this develops!

Can you indulge two technical questions? You have the Lime-Purple axis as neutral, which I found interesting. When I first discovered the CIE models, I had always assumed the warm-cool distinction was derived from the opponent process, along the C1/0-180 axis, in which case the neutrals would be 90-270, which didn't quite sit right to me. Your 120-300 feels better although I would put neutral at 105-285. I know Bruce McEvoy defines cool/warm along the daylight series and excludes purple and green using a rationale based on the opponent process. That makes sense rationally to me, but on vibes alone, I hate it. Green is neutral, maybe, but purple is a warm color to me. Still in my professional work, I have generally followed his lead and built my own color wheels around the 60-240 axis as an approximation of the CCT series. It makes me think around the light sources buildings are located in, the color of the sky at most times of day, and the range of human skin tone. McEvoy's structure is useful for harmonies but magenta is still a warm color to me. But I would love to hear your rationale! I see on TikTok you say it has to do with maximum sensitivity to that wavelength but how is that related? Would love an explanation. Also, for color perception do you use the CIE1931 graph instead of CIELUV? The latter appealed to me because it seemed to explain quirks of Itten color circle (I was read the gospel of Albers in school, with some Itten), specifically the choices in the blue-violet section. If you overlay the polar grid of CIECAM on that like McEvoy, for each change in degree you get more distance in the CIELUV space between two hues of blue-violet than between two shades of grue or yellow. Maybe I am wrong but this space feels like something Itten was seeing when he split like 10 degrees of CIECAM. Am I crazy? I am just so excited to find someone who I can ask and who does not work at Samsung.

Incredible

Impressive!

Fabulous, so cool

Amazing info! Would you be able to talk a little bit about the Natural Color System (NCS) based on opponent color theory? How does the NCS (or even Lab) differ from your color disc? I noticed that the 4 primaries used in the NCS don't line up exactly with the a+/a- and b+/b- on your disc. Are they both supposed to represent opponent pairs? What causes this discrepancy? From my understanding, both Lab and NCS are derived from the unique hues and color opponency, which states that each pure primary doesn't contain the others. But then I see your a+/a- spectrum uses a slightly blue-red, and blue-green. What have I misunderstood about how this all fits together? Very curious about what information I'm lacking and if you could fill in those gaps! Keep being awesome!

Unique hues don't line up with the a* and b* axes; NCS kind of stretches and squishes perceptual hue differences to space the unique hues evenly. My wheel here is more aligned with lab, but this version is actually based on ciecam02 because a) lab ain't a great model for looking at perceptual differences in paints, and b) I borrowed Bruce MacEvoy’s pigment chart (with credit), and he makes a good argument for ciecam02 as a fair representation of perceptual differences in paint colors (even though it's not a perceptual model)

So desaturated magenta (and I assume dark magenta also) is purple, but so is violet. Also, between "normal" blue and violet is indigo which is called by many as a type of blue. 🤔

so, the complementary colors of the additive RGB (Red, Green, Blue) model align more closely with how our brain processes visual information from light?

Those divisions are cultural. in English, we don't divide the spectrum evenly, we chunk it based on what people tend to agree is blue or purple etc :)

Do you suggest a way to print it for the most accurate colors?

This is great, i wish people would add brown to the color wheel. It would be so helpful because most people have a version of brown skin/eyes or brunette/black hair. Its very hard to determine how the colors should work when its not included.

Brown is just a dark desaturated orange. Look where the orange is on this colorwheel and move towards the middle. There are also plenty of brown pigment represented in the chart.

Do you sell a card stock version of this set? My school's printer does not do a good job of printing high saturation color.

I love this video, but I hate the RYB color system!

What is your take on the approach to color theory developed by Florent Farges (French artist who has numerous videos on color theory). Thank you.

Это очень круто! Я будто открыла для себя новый мир!! Более реалистичный!

Thank you for the video! I have a question regarding the trillium. If I start with PB15 and add PV19, then the resulting mixing line passes between PV23 and PV15.3, so is quite high in colorfulness. But if I use the trillium and add PB15 to PV19, then my mixing line goes through the grey zone. In such a case: how do I decide which mixing line to use?

@ColorNerd1

I had to look at this on the chart to see what you meant. I get PB15 and PV19 on pretty much a straight line to each other, going both ways, which makes sense to me in that the plotted positions are for masstone. Both pigments are transparent (a fact not adequately captured by the trillium/colordisk), and if diluted in wc or a bit of white added in oil or acrylic, would have higher chroma. The resulting new position of the chroma and hue of PB15+PW6, for example, would affect the way the trillium predicts its mixture paths. Generally I have still found that to be mostly accurate (pb15+pw6 mixed with pv19 is indeed a higher chroma purple than the masstone of pv23) - I just wish I could figure put how to capture that information more intuitively on the chart

What means "actually green", "actually red"? Are they green or red?

You are talking about Red-Green-Blue (RGB) color palette, as the eyes see it. Our visual sense (eyes+brain) is based on RGB palette, that is what our visual receptors can perceive but painters mix colors in RGY palette and the printers use CYM palette.

Hi color nerd! Do you consider PG50 cobalt turquoise to be a cyan? Personally, I see it as a cyan. What do you think?

@ColorNerd1

Hi! Yes, I actually use it as a "cyan primary" in some palettes in oils: it mixes both chromatic greens and purples. but because it is so high value, it loses chroma in dark mixtures, so I use it in tandem with prussian blue.

MacEvoy noted that Prussian doesnt reflect any "red" wavelengths, like cobalt, ultramarine and other blue pigments do. try mixing prussian with burnt sienna and you see the result curves through neutrals with a green bias; prussian also is the darkest value blue pigment that doesn't lean purple (like indanthrone or ultramarine)

Interesting, I've been calling what's labelled here as "pink" as "magenta" based on the primary in the CMYK process. Guess I'll keep in mind that people are usually talking about something cooler, and call it fuschia unless it's specifically referring to subtractive process theory, or printer ink or something.

Yes, CMY works for paint! Gives a wider gamut than RYB. but beware that in some student-grade paints, because the pigments have been cut with fillers magenta and yellow will not make a very chromatic red. And it's Kubelka-Munk :)
