It is indeed a useful system but is not new. This “system” has been in use for centuries and in modern times classrooms have used laminations, color wheels, and chalk and dry boards to show hue, chroma, pigment mapping and color gamuts. Very handy “pocket” version though!
Hi. Love your channel. Wish you would post more. I am confused though. It appears that you are using the Traditional Newton Spectrum Layout, of which I am quite fond of that wheel and Newtonian Physics and RYB “primaries”. I find that PG7 is a wonderful paint and color. But, I would place it and Viridian as middle BG’s and call them middle Cyan. RGB light would of course place the “ideal” Cyan towards the Blue side as well as does the subtractive transparent CYMK model. PG7 is quite the middle Cyan though (even in Spectral Physics measurements). The whole BG family is called “cyan” because-as far as we can tell-the word from which it came was from the ancient Hittites who used it to name the various BG’s of the oxidation’s in the copper they mined and used. I would prefer the model to be laid out in a more modern Newtonian Spectrum starting with a “ghost” 3 “primary” RGB with equally spaced subtractive CYM. Would you consider making and selling that setup and keeping the traditional spectrum Hue names? I am now nitpicking, but I have a pet peeve. A lot of artists are using “saturation” as synonymous with “chroma”. “Saturation” refers to the Light qualities of bright and dull and how color changes when the light changes and each color is fully saturated when directly in that light or shadows. “Chroma” on the other hand holds light at a constant value while we examine the color’s intensities. These are not the same and both cannot be successfully modeled in one model if you don’t want chroma to change. We all know how color constantly changes with the ever changing light and we only have brief moments in time to see “that specific color at some specific chroma” in our perception. That’s why it is more difficult to capture light, shadow and color for those who paint Plein air or by the light of a window. On a chroma wheel (which is what we all use) we theoretically examine a HUE and it’s infinite individual colors as we mimic the effects light has on chroma. Get the value and chroma correct and it’s “relationship” stays the same as it changes in light saturation. Sorry, but I think it helps to get these things right.
Yes, these methods and color wheel work will all media-oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolor, even colored pencil. Any color can be plotted on the wheel with an initial good guess and later adjustment based on use.
Cadmiums are quite misunderstood. Unlike lead paints they are not any more damaging through skin than any other color. They are only of concern when chronically inhaled in particulate form (meaning unless you grind your own paint or sand your paintings constantly, you have very low cause for concern)
It’s an absolutely awful color , But I have found one good use for it ! I mix it with cad red and when I add white it produces an amazing gray. I use this gray in the shadows of my leaves ! it’s pretty amazing
I like your videos 📸☺️
This painter's compass color wheel system you've come up with is just brilliant and I'm gonna buy one.

Every student should have this though
Oh god this is the kinda video I need. Probably the clearest, easiest colour mixing tutorial I've seen so far.

Thank you so much for making this video!!!! ❤️
Hi - A new subscriber and I DO LOVE color. Just curious if you also use acrylic artist quality paint and do you find the colors comparable. Thank you.

Great video, thank you
this is SO HELPFUL thank you
well informative video.....I noticed paint on your hands from your demo.....any concerns with the cadmiums over toxicity?
