Hi Everyone, Thanks for stopping by. I can’t believe I made it through the whole winter and caught a cold the last week of spring. So I apologize for the gruff voice. After I started, I realized the topic was too big to tackle in one video. This one is specifically about What is a colour.
I had the same surprise. I went in a hard cold just 10 days ago. I come from Mexico, so colour is something I have in my genes. Sometimes the combinations I make shock people. Like strong yellow and fuchsia. Thank you for your lessons, they are always welcome.
@@reinadegrillos I loved putting those colours together when I was younger. All my teachers discouraged me saying that they were too bright. I now know better. Favourite colours tell a lot about ones personality, Thanks for watching.
Color speaks to my soul. Just walking into a fabric store makes me happy. It's the color. I can't help adding whites to every quilt I make, it just maked the colors right for me. Now I want to see how many different whites I can put in a quilt.
My head is spinning, but this is terrific information! I think I will have to watch it a couple of times to get it all straight. Thanks so much for doing this series!
I am a watercolor artist as well as a quilter and this is by far the best explanation of color that I have come across! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video and for doing it so well!
As a watercolour artist how did you get your brain around the change in primary colors? I’m really struggling with this concept. You can practice making green from Yellow and blue, how can yellow appear by mixing red and green?
I really enjoy your videos and topics. I plan to do the 2022 challenge but starting a little late. I was a little confused when you were showing a slice of the hue Aqua. When discussing what you called tint, before showing the slice, you called it tone and then called the gray scale tone. I had to watch that part twice.
Thank you for the great explanation on color. It was the first time I actually heard these terms explained in a way I could understand ~ the visuals you used were amazingly helpful. Super excited to learn more in your next video.
You are amazing! So happy I found your site. I teach a quilting technique that I developed through trial and error and I have a hard time explaining some of my fabric choices. THIS! This video will make my job so much easier --I took lots of notes ;-)
oh gosh ...I so want to understand this ….I feel like I need to go back to kindergarten and start again. I am 58 yrs old and still only get the part about Primary colors, then I know I get the "deer in the headlights" look on my face after that! Thank you so much for doing this video, I will have to watch a few times.
Any tips for color deficient quilters? I tend to buy fabric lines to guarantee the colors work together or 2 color quilts white, black or gray with a color.
Too lazy to read everyone's comments, but in case no one mentioned, there's a rainbow halo reflecting off the wall above the hanging picture over your right shoulder, our left upper corner. Funny coincidence.
I have a graphic design background, but I haven’t in all my years working in the field see such a concise and succinct explanation. No flourishes or side bars, just straight, forward and easy-to-follow information. Kudos. I’m going straight into the rest of this series. Thank you SEW much!
I am working on my first quilt I have ever done. I have been fighting cancer for 17 years. Now by husband of 48 years has been fighting cancer for 1 year. Be strong and pray. My name is Ann
Hi Karen, I love your tutorials they are so very helpful. I am having a problem with color and no matter how many times I have watched your color theory videos it’s just not clicking in my head. LOL. I was wondering if maybe you had an easier way for me to try to figure color out? I have been using the color wheel which has been helping to some degree.
Wow! I had no idea when I hit play that I would be getting such an in depth explanation. Your examples of using the paint chips and then even the fabrics plus taking the black and white picture was great! Thanks!
The cone especially was very helpful!! (You said tones twice when describing adding white, so I think you meant tints, but I could follow anyway.). I’ll watch this a few more times I’m sure. Thanks so much Karen!
I like your info but still confused in my brain with tones- harmony-values- oh well- im gonna try it until I get it, several time- thanks dear Karen Brown- grey is new after all these years! Thank you! For your help- 🥰💕😇
Came back to this serious just to comment on the camera trick. I love using my B&W filter to see the values! It's made picking fabrics to use in my quilts so much easier. I've also used it for my paint swatch. I take a picture of my swatches then print it out and stock it down under the swatch paper. Woohoo!❤❤❤
I follow Kate at the Last homely house( I think she follows you) and she says when assembling a quilt top to take black and white photos to get the values balanced. I understand this rather better now though need lots of watches of this video to really grasp it.
i just so two videos and you catch me , i never think do quilter or patch working ever , i want to start right now with your tutorial i try to see others channels , and honestly i don't want to see other , i feel confortable with all your style.my best regards
Your colour series finally made colour make sense to me and gave me a vocabulary for talking about it. I've referred lots of other people to this playlist
I cannot believe how much I didn't know about colour. I thought this video would be boring because I know about colour. Doesn't everybody? well no. Thank you so much. I have learnt so much. I cannot wait to get onto the next video but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you.
Thank you for your explanation of color in “Colour Theory Part 1”. I become easily overwhelmed when entering a fabric store and I hope your series will help me understand and choose colors better. I have a color wheel that has more hues than the ones you’ve shown. Mine also includes “orange-red”, “orange-yellow”, “green-yellow”, “green-blue”, “violet-blue”, and “violet-red”. Can you please explain the difference? Is one better to use than the other? Thank you!
Oh my gosh! Karen you have just satisfied and addressed so many things in me. 1) my Learner Strength, 2) my fear of color! (I sketch with pencil...but I'm scared to paint because there are SOOO many colors!) 3) I've >never< understood what all those terms mean. Yes, I watched the video twice...took notes the second time. I'm getting a handle on it. ...almost. On to video 2! By the way...THANK YOU!
Love this, a great, easy to understand explanation. I love fabric and I love color but almost always purchase coordinated fabric bundles as I can’t seem to make good choices on my own. This video is very helpful. ❤️
You say that 3 pigment primary system RYB has been "proven to be incorrect?" You might want to check the sources on your statement, because 3 pigment primary systems are not incorrect. Perhaps you are mistaking a system of printing (CMYK) with a system of working with pigments (of any red, yellow, blue such as magenta, yellow, and cyan), but these are different systems. Please check your sources, I'd also LOVE to know where the information is coming from that RYB is somehow incorrect.
Well, Karen, after watching your video today, you explained what I worked on this week. I'm creating a grayscale color scheme for a quilt I'm making. I thought starting with gray would be a simple task. It seems, however, that there are blue-grays, brown grays, and true grays. It's making my head spin. However, I plugged away and separated the different types of gray, then organized them from light to dark. I'm not a natural at all when it comes to color. I am hoping that your advice will sink in and color will become more second nature as I go along. Your explanations are clear and understandable. Thanks for the video!
Thank you karen...i just found your channel and I love it your a great teacher!... just finished a quilt top an inspiration from your ugly video??? I loved the way it turned out and I'm going to try the one with the smaller square and the lovely wavy quilting form... where can I get a color wheel...or chart... thank you
I am blown away by the talent it took just to make this video with all the animated graphics, historical paintings and drawings, etc. let alone the content! I can't imagine the editing it must take to make something so technically educational. Thank You!
This was so helpful. I have had confusion on this for years. Now I know it was because of trying to think in 2 dimensions vs 3. I'll probably have to watch a few more times but I finally feel like I'm getting it.
A customer would come into the print shop to look at their job on the computer monitor, and give the okay to print. Upon seeing the printed job, they'd wonder why it didn't look like the monitor's display. This is an example of light shining through color vs reflected light. The monitor is backlit, passing through the images to one's eye. Light bouncing off the printed page is reflected light. This is why a disclaimer is sometimes seen on Internet shopping pages, noting that an item's color may not be truly represented. I buy fabric on-line exclusively and have yet to be disappointed. The quality of computer monitors and scanners has leveled out since the 1990s, and web site designers now have more sophisticated tools at their disposal, so that images come close to reality. Value, for me, is the tricky thing. To audition scrappy selections for a quilt top, I view them through a small piece of red plastic. Oh, my -- it's all mush! Time to hit the stash again, or (gasp) take a trip to Walmart. Color my quilting life interesting.
Judy Kizler : This series is quite timely. I just got a set of TWO filters hoping they will help with shopping my stash (vs. shopping a preplanned selection of fabric by a designer in the store where you know they are all designed to coordinate). Anyway, the set has a red filter for "warm" colors and a green filter for "cool" colors. Time will tell if they help get through to my understanding. This series should help a lot as well.
Well done you! You sort it out well. I was taught that the red/blue/yellow primaries were to do with paint or ink since all those colors combined to make black (or close) while the red/blue/green were about light and when combined, make white. Your research tells the whole story. Thank you.
My art instructor in 7th grade explained this very well and I've never heard anyone else put it so detailed a she. Thank you, I am recovering from a brain injury. Relearning everything. Certain things are triggered and, oh ya I know that lol some things I didn't forget just needed a key to get access others I'll repetitively learn because though I've done so info just doesn't stick around and I need to come back to it. Someone recently asked why I say I have 1 favorite color, lol any shade of blue really and white. As I told them it's like candy who can choose just one and besides white is ther absence I'd color. I was bothered that I couldn't explain the details I've known for so very long. But I know what I know lolol I didn't want the stress if setting out to find ask ther details im not able to pull forward and explain (( again even though I know it, just not accessible for everyone else. Ugh lolol)) so it tickles me to no end that I've come across your wonderful teaching on color theory. THANK YOU, OH and the quilting info. Fun As I'm just relearning to sew. Honestly more than I'd care to remember for many a year and I'm loving it. It's amazing how we come back to those basics that started everything and generally, if we've not been using them to our advantage and enjoying then to the fullest extent, appreciating them for reasons we'd never thought to consider. Umm o, maybe that is just maturity lolololol either way in loving it. Thank you again, I'll be watching, learning and likely bugging you from time to time🤩Many Blessings🤗
Kathleen Champ - My best wishes to you on your recovery. As a stroke survivor, I understand some of what you are dealing with, and I applaud that you are giving your recovery your best effort. You inspire me!
Great video! Though I am slightly confused. When you explained the cone and the color aqua, you said “tone” twice. So the pure color is called hue. If we add white, tint. Add black, shade. Add gray, tone.
EXCELLENT video and excellent idea on color explanation!!!!! It has always been hard for me to mix and match different fabrics so that they all play nice together, so I really appreciate this series. You’re the best!!!
Mind blown. I have always struggled with color. 15 years of quilting have helped. But back in the day when I did garment sewing and selected a pattern--I would look for fabric as close to the pattern illustration as possible. This short video was very helpful--I'm sure my color woes are far from over, but I'm working on being more aware. Thank you for making this very well-done video. I'm guessing you may have been an educator somewhere in your past.
YOU ARE A TREASURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never had color theory explained so well before , that I "Get it"!!! . I have been painting artist for most of my life! I can not wait to learn more on this subject!! Thank you from the depth of my soul. This goes as well for the quilting that I have done for as many years. What you have shared is beyond what I have ever got from all the books, tapes, CD's...etc. Sharing all you goofs and humanness! xoxoxo
The exercise of arranging colored pieces and taking a greyscale photo will help me a lot. I have long wanted to make a watercolour piece, and have to stand back and try to squint at the colours to see the saturation of a swatch, because the fabric isn't a solid but a mixed pattern, and several hues, tints, tones, shades. Thanks! I need practice. Some seem to do this without effort.

Very technically and neatly explained
Thank you
This is the best explanation of color to the uninitiated I’ve ever seen! Thank you!
This is my favorite video series on color. I recommend it to every new quilter I meet.
My head is spinning, but this is terrific information! I think I will have to watch it a couple of times to get it all straight. Thanks so much for doing this series!
It does take time for it all to settle in.

Yes she is thorough and precise about colour- yes! TY Karen
What a wonderful vlogcast. Thank you.
I think this is going to be a video that I'll be watching over and over again.. n can't wait for the other parts.
You are just the best teacher! Thank you so much!
Yes- Karen, you Are!
Been enjoying many of your videos - this one is a standout gem among them.
Mind blowing! Have never had the color wheel explained so clearly before! Thank you!
This video makes me want to watch all of your videos! Love it, a fan already
Simply amazing. Thank you!
Fabulous! 🦋💐

When discussing what you called tint, before showing the slice, you called it tone and then called the gray scale tone. I had to watch that part twice.
I had issues with my computer on that one and I lost the good edit. I have cards up in the corner that mention the error and the correct info.
Well done! Love the painting in your background too!
From a PAINT NIGHT party. I was thinking of colour theory the whole time I was painting
Best description I’ve come across yet, thank you!
Thank you
Wow now I can finally understand thank you so much for this video. It will remain in my library for future referencing. 😀🌈
Glad to hear
Thank you for the great explanation on color. It was the first time I actually heard these terms explained in a way I could understand ~ the visuals you used were amazingly helpful. Super excited to learn more in your next video.
Karen Phillips me too! She's awesome
Same!!!! First time the lightbulb of recognition has gone off. Thank you so much!
I’m running to paint store! Great, great exercise. Thank you.
👍
Excellent discussion! Thank you!

very interesting thanks
Wow! I’m so glad I found this video. I was quilt educated😃
That was an amazing, instructional video on color. TY
You are amazing! So happy I found your site. I teach a quilting technique that I developed through trial and error and I have a hard time explaining some of my fabric choices. THIS! This video will make my job so much easier --I took lots of notes ;-)
What a well done video. Thank you so much!

Amazing info
Great explanation or "colour". Hard topic to explain and understand. Love your graphics!
Thank you. Coming from a colour person like yourself, I appreciate your comment.
I love your videos! I learn so much and always enjoy watching!

I am 58 yrs old and still only get the part about Primary colors, then I know I get the "deer in the headlights" look on my face after that! Thank you so much for doing this video, I will have to watch a few times.
Thanks for watching...and as with all new skills we just need to practice.
Did you deliberately match your outfit to the painting in the background? I like it!
LOL...no
Any tips for color deficient quilters? I tend to buy fabric lines to guarantee the colors work together or 2 color quilts white, black or gray with a color.
Eagerly waiting 4 ur next vdos on colour!
Loved ur vdo! So informative 👌
Very informative! even if I just happened upon your channel from the crochet world lol
Glad you arrived. Thanks for watching
Too lazy to read everyone's comments, but in case no one mentioned, there's a rainbow halo reflecting off the wall above the hanging picture over your right shoulder, our left upper corner. Funny coincidence.
No one has 👍
I may have missed it, but what is your favorite colorwheel?
Where are you from. You spell colour the same way my mom does, she's from Trinidad.

You are the best quilting channel! Relatable, clear and to the point, and original topics. Thank you!
May I add an AMEN! to this comment. I have shared your videos with my quilting friends and they are hooked, too!

Thanks- i understood what you said- tints and white- TY!
Best explanation of color, thank you. 4 years late.
I like your info but still confused in my brain with tones- harmony-values- oh well- im gonna try it until I get it, several time- thanks dear Karen Brown- grey is new after all these years! Thank you! For your help- 🥰💕😇
That was the cleanest explanation I've heard in all my decades. Thank you.
I love your tutorial on color, it's the most understandable explanation I've come across and I'm looking forward to your next videos. Thanks!

I find this lady brilliant, she makes it so easy
You’re an amazing educator! Thank you!
You are awesome. Thank you so much.

Best description of terms I've ever heard...simple and direct. Thanks.
That cone illustration really helped me understand so much better. Thank you!!
Finally it makes a bit more sense. Thank you!

Colour and quilting is a whole new game. Every quilt is a new adventure
Wonderful explanation. I like the science to this. Helpful. I find dull dusky colours depressing. Now I understand this better. Thanks.
Thank you for your explanation of color in “Colour Theory Part 1”. I become easily overwhelmed when entering a fabric store and I hope your series will help me understand and choose colors better. I have a color wheel that has more hues than the ones you’ve shown. Mine also includes “orange-red”, “orange-yellow”, “green-yellow”, “green-blue”, “violet-blue”, and “violet-red”. Can you please explain the difference? Is one better to use than the other? Thank you!

Where can I get your color chart? I thought there was a link in the video, but I missed it. I found some online ranging from $20 to over $100!!
This was so helpful. I have had confusion on this for years. Now I know it was because of trying to think in 2 dimensions vs 3. I'll probably have to watch a few more times but I finally feel like I'm getting it.

Have to watch this one a few times
I NEED this video! :)
And did you ever teach science at some point?
Totally confused! But that’s nothing new
Very helpful video! I'm waiting for the next two 😊
I think that I need more than two more videos in order to understand better.

When you think about pigments, you can see why the RYB system worked. But it has to do with the crystalline structure of the raw materials.
You got it! And you did it well. :) Can't wait for part 2. @@JustGetitDoneQuilts
Thank you for all the clsses in colors, looks like one a Art degree to make quilts lol just kidding

Great video! Though I am slightly confused. When you explained the cone and the color aqua, you said “tone” twice.
So the pure color is called hue. If we add white, tint. Add black, shade. Add gray, tone.
I should have said ‘tint’ first. I corrected it with a note but not many see it
Wow!
EXCELLENT video and excellent idea on color explanation!!!!! It has always been hard for me to mix and match different fabrics so that they all play nice together, so I really appreciate this series. You’re the best!!!

Thank you. I was worried about too much information. Colour theory can be like tax law. You can only take in so much at once.
The exercise of arranging colored pieces and taking a greyscale photo will help me a lot. I have long wanted to make a watercolour piece, and have to stand back and try to squint at the colours to see the saturation of a swatch, because the fabric isn't a solid but a mixed pattern, and several hues, tints, tones, shades. Thanks! I need practice. Some seem to do this without effort.
It does improve with practice
OMG, This was difficult.
