dcaulf, your explanatory style is refreshingly (astonishingly, in fact) CLEAR. There will be thousands out there who will wish that you had been their teacher.
looking at this from a painter's perspective especially one who paints miniatures to try and mimic real-life lighting this is extremely useful and eye opening!
Primary color "guns" of television picture tube are red, blue and green. My art teacher always argued about primary colors and color mixing. It's all very interesting. Nice video
I’m an educator by day and an artist on the side. I used to teach my 6th graders a unit on light and pigment. I’d tape diffraction grating to the output lens of my overhead projector and create a narrow “beam” with paper or books (anything opaque) on the platform to project the spectrum. We’d pass things through the spectrum (or just walk through it) and observe. Had RUclips been around, your video would have been a great resource and home reference (and a different voice). With your permission, I would like to share this on my art page, please.
One of the clearest explanations of additive and subtractive color mixing I've ever encountered. BTW, I'm pretty sure that the average I.Q. of those who clicked on "dislike" is below 100.
I still want to know why red, blue, and YELLOW are the primary colors most of us learn about in grade school, when red, blue, and green are the primary additive colors. It isn’t like cyan, magenta, and yellow match up with this. How do we get orange for example? So curious
In fact, CMY is just another model like RGB, just colors chosen as the base colors of pigments. The subtractive model means absorption of light comparing to the light itself. So it is improper to say CMY is subtractive model. RGB can also be explained in subtractive way. For example Red absorbs Green and Blue. But light can't be explained in subtractive way. Therefore, color of light depends on additive model, and color of pigments depends on subtractive model.
nice video, super clear. I understood why we say ''subtractive'' even though we ''add'' color one to another. It is ''subtractive'' in terms of light, not pigment....
I used the information in your video for an experiment I working on about color filters, and it helped a lot! Do you have any sources for this information that I could use in my report?
Hello,related to skin colors and their interaction with the color around your skyn (clothing), based on primary CMYk..;sustractive ..how you explain when the .yellow-under tone Asian looks darkens with blue?, that could be because yellow light is absorbe the blue one?, congratulate you on the simplicity and clarity of your conferences
How do your color diagrams and ray diagrams work when you add infrared to the colors, replace the human eye with a photographic sensor, and place an infrared filter between the light source and the sensor?
What would result from mixing yellow and blue pigments? A quiz from an online class says green light will show, but if we start with blue, green, and red light, and the blue light is removed from the yellow pigment, and the green and red lights are removed from the blue pigment, would that not create black?
You can construct any colour system you want in art, but the one that is most useful to us is RGB or CMY (notice that they are just opposites of the same thing). If you mix all three CMY paints (or inks, dyes, playdohs) together you get black, or at least a dark *neutral* grey. If you mix R, Y, B, you get a brown-ish colour. Neither is “wrong”, but one is much more useful.
Say you have a white piece of paper, the paper reflects all colour so it is white. If you add red paint then the paint absorbs (removes) all other colours EXEPT red which is reflected. Hope this helps
this reminds me of that dress phenomenon that people were arguing about few months back. so with that dress example, when you combine 2 colors, do people perceive it differently?
yes, it is related to this, but a little more complicated. when you are taking photos, there is something called white balance. to put it simply, it's a feature that is supposed to correct the colors in the picture according to the light, like explained in the video with the street lamp example. Our brain does this too, and in the case of the picture with the dress, there are very few hints about the lighting situation in that picture, so the brain basically has to guess what it is, and for some people it guesses one way, for others it guesses the other way.
I could make a boss battle out of this, where on the Right side is 3 bright diamonds that brighten to make the Additive colors, and on the Left side is 3 dark diamonds that darken to make the subtractive colors.
so in this concept, mixing blue paint (doesn't allow green and red) with yellow paint (doesn't allow blue) would result in black. While in real life it actually makes green.
easiest way to understand this, is this way. sun emits green, orange, purple, which are the real primary colors. and you, the painter, cant emit light, you can only play with pigments and you notice you cannot create yellow, blue, and red by mixing two colors together. you can only create the true primary colors of green, orange and purple by mixing the secondary colors of yellow blue and red which you mistakingly call primary or more important, only because you cant create them. as for white and black, dont ask. shhhhhhhhhhhh
Wow this info is completely wrong. Red, yellow, and blue are primary colors. Green, orange, and purple are secondary colors. Magenta is a combo of red and purple. Cyan is a combo of blue and green. White is subtractive and you'll know when you add white color to any color, it gets lighter. Black is additive. As you've shown, you can extract red from purple by adding yellow (a color with a spectrum closest to white). Your info is wrong
Ive been trying to understand for this 1 hour n u did it for me in 12 mins, great explanation!!
dcaulf, your explanatory style is refreshingly (astonishingly, in fact) CLEAR. There will be thousands out there who will wish that you had been their teacher.
The best explanation of additive/subtractive color/pigment mixing I've come across so far.
I have an exam in 3 days and you just saved me! Thanks :)

Great video. Slow and steady progress. Very friendly approach. Thank you sir.

you sir are one of the few people here on youtube that know what you are talking about
very good! was struggling to understand this for years. finally got it!

@@TylerSimonds Sorry, but I don't have a good answer for you.
Very clear. Excellent teaching.
Excellent explanation! thanks!
Great Video extremely well explained thank you

This is great for my A2HE thanks!
But why green plus red gives yellow if yellow has a different wave length than red and green?
Dude, you're freakin' incredible! :-D
fantastic..thank you doc

finally i understand it, thank you very much..♥
This is amazing. Helped me alot

excellent explanation cause i finally got it

This video is underrated.

Pay attention to which pigments you are using (especially the blue). If the blue is halfway to cyan, you’ll get a dark green, not a “true” green.
Is it true that the primary subtractive colours are CMY or Blue, Yellow, Red?
Why are they different?
You can construct any colour system you want in art, but the one that is most useful to us is RGB or CMY (notice that they are just opposites of the same thing).
If you mix all three CMY paints (or inks, dyes, playdohs) together you get black, or at least a dark *neutral* grey. If you mix R, Y, B, you get a brown-ish colour. Neither is “wrong”, but one is much more useful.
@@simperingham thanks for the knowledge!
hey there..
great lesson but I dint understand the role of a pigment entirely.
Wat do you mean by"it removes colour"?
Say you have a white piece of paper, the paper reflects all colour so it is white. If you add red paint then the paint absorbs (removes) all other colours EXEPT red which is reflected. Hope this helps
Hello, how we see grey? How light reflecting or refracting so that we see grey????
this reminds me of that dress phenomenon that people were arguing about few months back. so with that dress example, when you combine 2 colors, do people perceive it differently?

perfect. thank you
thank you, now I understand this
If mixing paint is subtractive, why painting use RGB and not CYM as primary colors instead that’s used in printers?
this is insane!!! omg
So... Yellow street light plus Blue shirt equals blak? ⚫️
I could make a boss battle out of this, where on the Right side is 3 bright diamonds that brighten to make the Additive colors, and on the Left side is 3 dark diamonds that darken to make the subtractive colors.
Hey, gotta ask. Saw Echo Gillette's rant on color so...is it legit?
For paint, yes, magenta, yellow and cyan are primary PIGMENTS not colors, the primary colors are red, green, and blue
Oppo
nice!!!
But why the purple is blue?
Thanks
Thanks bro
MashA Allah ماشاء الله
What are the tertiary colors of light?
The same as CMY, orange, lime, teal, azure, purple, and fushia
thankkks
The additive process is more familiar to people in every day iife.
Cool
yellow is primary color and green is secondary mixing of yellow and blue get green
so in this concept, mixing blue paint (doesn't allow green and red) with yellow paint (doesn't allow blue) would result in black.
While in real life it actually makes green.
Now we only need to use 1 shade of light color to see ghost.
When i mix green and red with real paint then why that be brown . not yellow :v
Because when you mix colours what you do is changing the quality of the surface. then these principles of light do not apply there.
I wear a blue shirt under a yellow street lamp and i still see blue
Then probably the yellow light is yellow-white (red and green with some blue light).
hello
11:14 "blak"
madness. the primaries are secondary and the secondaries are primary. my brain hurts.
easiest way to understand this, is this way.
sun emits green, orange, purple, which are the real primary colors. and you, the painter, cant emit light, you can only play with pigments and you notice you cannot create yellow, blue, and red by mixing two colors together. you can only create the true primary colors of green, orange and purple by mixing the secondary colors of yellow blue and red which you mistakingly call primary or more important, only because you cant create them. as for white and black, dont ask. shhhhhhhhhhhh
Yellow blue and red are called primaries when refering to paint and pigments not when your talking about light
Sorry, sounded great but I still don’t quite understand the theory. I know it’s all me. Thanks for trying anyway lol.
6:43 thank me laterr
Realy? That's it ? Ts to short
Wow this info is completely wrong. Red, yellow, and blue are primary colors. Green, orange, and purple are secondary colors. Magenta is a combo of red and purple. Cyan is a combo of blue and green.
