Hey all, you guys asked for it and we made it, an in-depth version of this topic, if you wanted more than here it is! You asked for so check it out! ruclips.net/video/oYHhGFKP-dQ/видео.html
It's also worth pointing out, that RavenGuard and Raven Wing have white as accent colors, while Black Templars mostly Red and Gold. Both are intimidation, but the white communicates precision and cleanliness. The red and Gold is like violence and glory.
The Imperial Fists colours are from the German coat of arms. The medieval German states tended to prefer yellow, red and black, sometimes white, which is why the Black Templars have the same colours only in different amounts. The Habsburgs coat of arms incorporated blue as well, which I suspect is where the Crimson Fists get their Prussian blue livery.
Purple and green fan here. Villains are often depicted in this color scheme because early comic books were only printed with a handful of colors. So the heroes all got printed in more patriotic colors, red white and blue, with yellow accents. Superman, Captain America, the Flash. Villains just got stuck with what was left, purple and green.
Yeah! I briefly came across this topic of why villains are green and purple in another RUclips video when I was getting things for this video. But you know if you turn this exact same colour combo into pastel tones they can be used in a more positive light. This is me being a girly girl here but Techna from Winx Club has that pastel green and purple scheme and she is one of the good guys ~Sunny
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow hahaha I watched just enough of that show back in the day to remember she was my favorite character. It definitely seems to have some association with magic and sorcery, possibly because it’s a rare or unnatural combo, but it is just such an aesthetically pleasing color scheme! At least to me lol
There is a happy accident there. Green is a sweet spot for your eye, in that it is the easiest to process. Red and blue (purple together) are the hardest. You put them next to each other, and the eye has to work even harder to process them because of the extremes.
ha ha ha, well this is one of our longest videos (since my wife and I restarted the channel) so we felt as if we pushed more people wouldn't watch... plust this was a very hard week for us, I did 20 hours of driving in three days (two ten hour trips). Would a video on metallics be interesting?
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow it would be nice. Maybe you guys could do something like what other types of paints we can use on minis... I remember reading something like acrylic ink silver and a sepia ink used to paint gold minis. Would be super cool. ❤️
In heraldry, when you want to draw a scheme from armor on paper, silver armor is denoted by white and gold by yellow so technically they were covered by the video 😊
Feels weird to call the World Eaters being cold and reliable until you remember that they were primarily like that when they were the War Hounds before Angron was discovered
I love that you did not limit your explanations and analysis to hobby factions but also included company logos. The content is therefore more easily understood for a variety of applications. Thank you!
As a mini painter, Warhammer-er, and dentist -- hues, chromas, and values really interest me! This was an insightful video and looking forward to more like it
We are already work on one on metalics we may continue with individual colours if this is popular enough but I feel that we will run out of real depth very quickly. But if people like it I am glad to do it - Cal
Well it has a lot of market domination, you have to understand the British fought over tea so your opinions on tea might be a little more intense than the rest of us
Good to know, however we used the logo as the common scheme for most people, I have a feeling you may know a bit more about them than the average joe so to speak
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow Not much more. I've just been in one of their dealerships a few times to buy my uncle a gift. He's a big fan of Harley Davidson, so their merch is always a good pick.
I very much like your dialogue-heavy presentation style. It helps to think along and to keep me focused - because every comment has to be build on the last one and so every thought step matters. Thanks!
Black is also a very formal and traditional colour. Combined with the Black Templar's cross, it's very much about heraldry, tradition, and their function as the Space Marine chapter most associated with high office, working closely with the Inquisition.
IIRC the templars only try to work with the inquisition as little as possible, due to the templar's stance on the codex astartes they have higher numbers of marines. The inquisition are eary of the templars because of the potential threat of turning traitor. The templars actually due their part in making sure the inquisition gets off thsir backs. TLDR Black Templars didn't read a space book of rules. Inquisition thinks they sus, Black Templars do their part to not have to deal with them as much as they have to. Edit: I could very much be wrong but I am writing this from memory, so take it with a grain of salt.
Or it can be very chaotic, representing formless darkness, churning tar, smoke, rich earth, boils on skin, crawling insects, inky emissions and cold tentacles. No color has a fixed meaning. It's all bullshit
Very interesting! I painted my Drukhari in purple and green without even realizing hoe many "classic villains" are portrayed on those colours, but i love it even more now hahaha
I didn’t think I would enjoy this video. I just clicked on it because I was bored and it popped up in my feed. Boy was I wrong. This was actually very informative and entertaining
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow I tend to like informative videos regardless of the subject. The presentation of raw information combined with what felt like genuine enthusiasm for the subject material, and connecting it to a topic I'm already passionate about made the video really hit home.
I think an analysis of ho metallics fit into the color psychology would be interesting. What does adding the metallic element do to modify the psychology of the bolor it is derived from?
Been painting stuff for like 25 years now, but never really delved into the psychology part of color theory. This video was very informative. Keep up the good job guys.
Was interesting in general as I never put much thought into how we perceive colors. Blue being reliable seems obvious now, when we thing of the sky, which is always there, no matter what. Your video gave me a push to look back and reconsider colors and why most people feel the way they feel about them. Suddenly 40k studio color schemes begun to tell a story, which is awesome.
Before watching: red green in Orks and Circle Orboros After: Circle Orboros: forest green cloaks, golden armor, and flaming red hair for the vengeful, elite, druids. 40k Ork Boom Boys (back in 3rd, before it was cool): predominantly blood red with wildly varied green skin. I used highlight colors based on my three divisions: blue for meks and heavy weapons, yellow and orange for speedsters and mobile weapons teams, black and purple for stealth. The horde of boys wore browns, and pale blues and greys, with red and black highlights and accents. Then the leaders of those units had saturated blues, darker browns, and large areas of red. It's funny how much of this I actually studied in school, but how unconsciously I applied it
That was an amazing episode. Would you consider covering all the factions and mentioning what their color schemes invoke? Or maybe an episode on how color theory ties into color psychology.
I am really glad you enjoyed it! We don't want to be too Warhammer focused, but... that other idea about how colour psychology and colour theory work together sounds interesting, we may actually do an episode on that.
Another point about black as a color of strength, it's been noted that black as a color shows no weakness. An enemy soldier in a black uniform could be bleeding out in front of you, and you wouldn't know it because you couldn't see it. You could tie that into its connotations of mystery as well, since it hides and camouflages any weaknesses on the wearer's part. Black to me also carries connotations of seriousness and professionalism, because it's not a peacocking kind of color. It's the opposite of bright and flashy. With that and the cultural context of black being the most common color of business suits and military dress uniforms, I've always interpreted it as the color worn by people who are here to get the job done without fanfare or egotism. All of that is a big part of why I painted my army predominantly black. Though I also added gold trim because I like the contrast and it felt like it gave them an element of class and refinement.
"can you think of a more dominant brand of tea" well yea we have yorkshire tea, pg tips, Tetley in fact i forget lipton is tea, seems like our friends across the pond have a distinct culture with colours too
Well if you are here in Australia it dominates big time, but... I have the feeling you might be British and the British talking about tea well... I don't think there is any winning there, just because Sunny is Indian doesn't mean you can conquer us or because I am Australian you can throw us in jail... (These are jokes, I have to put this caveat on her because some people in the comment sections lose there dang mind)
@@datcheesecakeboi6745 Are you a Karma Chameleon because... "Do you really have to hurt me? Do you really have to make me cry?" We are not American 🥲 We aren't that positive or outgoing
Please make more of these! I would specifically love a video about how to select a color scheme for an army based on an invented backstory. When you said that the Dark Angel's colors were chosen BECAUSE of their backstory it really got the wheels spinning! Which is helpful, as I'm working on Freeboota Orks and I'm hitting a wall. Any suggestions are welcome!
Browns and Blacks that are broken up by shiny objects and ones that are brightly colored. Pirates have red, white and blue as their usual colorscheme, so giving them brown/black pants or shirts and making the other part red or blue or white with red or blue stripes works well for the boys.
This was one of our video idea for our next video after the metallic one this Sunday. If you looking for a good place to try things out try the WAYPN group on Facebook found in the description.
White Scars are literally one of the most expresive chapters. All ther warriors are encouraged to do some kind of art and poetry. Besides, they are one of the most "humans" of all.
But... did they stay far away from their other brother legions and do their own thing rather than being a part of integrated forces? A.k.a cold and distant?
My custom chapters armor uses primarily gold with accents of green and white, the energy effects and lenses are red, and they use a knight-like aesthetic. If I was to apply color theory, the gold armor presents dominance, which is mixed with purity and hope, and their stronger weapons are tinged with rage and passion. The red eye lenses also probably shows an inner passion that colors how they see the world. That fits a lot of what I was going for, neat! I was also trying to use white to represent wisdom and skill, which is why their bolters have white casings instead of red.
My wife says my marines look like they are trying to project that they are regal, they are Right, and you should do what they say, and they loo like they are very aggressive. "Like the brotherhood of Steel."
I have only seen 2 video's of you guys, both about color (or colours if you like that better) but I do like the way you work together to explain things. I just like the way things you 2 explain things and you have lovely voices to listen too as well. Kind regards from the Netherlands
Thanks for the positive comment, as for if we prefer colour or color, I am Australian and Sunny is Singaporian so both former English settlements so we just used that spelling 😊 if you say something like klor we may have some trouble 🤣
Honestly didn’t expect this, it was interesting. I expected goofy “if you paint your armies blue then you like smurfs!” Or “painting your army red makes em fasta!”. A discussion about color theory and the corresponding psychology/cultural aspect of the armies colors.
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow incredibly interesting and informative, kinda made me think about the colors I myself tend to favor. Red being a major favorite of mine. Thanks for sharing your video with us
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow Yes, I swore off painting after my family was painted to death. I vowed to always leave my brush dry. I now only use crayons to color my minis. Such is life.
My main color for my army is a solid orange, but I use red as an accent color. However, like you two mentioned, I do use a desaturated orange. Ryza Admech, rusty brown-orange.
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow The Iron Warriors painted the ancient sign of danger on their weapons, if you get hit its your own fault. They warned you in the front!
Love the video! I'm working on a commission for friend and this video has really helped me to understand some of the color choices that my friend has chosen for his model. Whether the colors are his favorite, I don't know, but this video definitely opened my eyes to something deeper. Now I just need to make the colors work together. Lol
Purple is a colour that is defined by its country of use. In Britain and the countries they colonised, purple is attributed with royalty, and high standing, due to the restricted use of the colour in clothing only for the royal family and their close allies. In America though, Purple is used to denote evil characters, as this leads back to the American revolution and the hatred of the royal family. In eastern countries, purple was used in both high and low standing cultures, depending on its tone. Lighter purple was romantic, and kind, whilst darker purple was more secretive, and showed the possibility of deception. This is why Disney / DC / Marvel villains use purple, as it comes from a restriction of that colour only for royalty. It evokes the idea of 'better than you' due to the difficulty of its manufacture. In nature on the other hand, purple is a warning colour. close to blood red, it denotes poison, and death. So deeper purples are avoided.
I would say I love the Dark Angels orginal scheme because I am a Lion man, but... saying you like black as an original legion colour... it's so original... so very original ha ha - Cal
Thanks for a great video. What about a topic or series about exploring each chapter based on their color scheme having an in-depth guide or analysis on their identity as a chapter? Not only to space marines but the other factions as well, including the xenos. Again, keep making videos. You guys are awesome!
Your not the first to suggest an idea but we want this to be a general hobby channel, and not to be 100% all about Warhammer so more people can enjoy it, however we do have a video planned about how to give your marines meaning, talking about heraldry, colour psychology, model meaning and so on
When I paint my salamanders army, I’ve got specific themes for each model/unit. For example my dreadnoughts are different types of green from a bright green leviathan fighting off night lords, to my darker green redemptor who just smashed a daemon. It’s from the perspective of the daemons for the redemptor
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow I didn’t know they did that with different tones/saturations with colors. I guess I shouldn’t feel bad knowing my entire salamanders army has different shades of green. The darker greens also represent older/veteran marines where bright ones represent initiates who graduated. Kinda like how reptiles change their tones as get older
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow that’s the hobby, I’m happy gaming companies give us this freedom to create our own story to supplement the main ones. After watching this video I’ve discovered how to use different saturations, which earned you guys a sub! Keep up the great content
Green is the easiest color on the eyes and requires the least effort for the eye to process. Red and blue, which are at the edges of the visible spectrum, are the hardest. When you are looking at purple, you are looking at a combination of the two most strenuous colors for the eye to process. Putting the purple and green side by side is both even more strenuous on the eyes, and presents extremes that makes one feel less safe. If you look at your villains, you will find that, typically, if they are a combination of these two colors, the more purple is present, the more overtly evil they are. Example: The Joker wears all purple which is highlighted by green hair. Right off the bat, you know the Joker is synonymous with evil and chaos. On the other end, you have Lex Luthor in his power suit. Lex presents himself as a level-headed businessman, and wants you to like him, while behind closed doors, he is a merciless monster. His colors, then, are mostly green with little highlights of purple. It says, "I'm trustworthy," while between the cracks, you can see that something is not right and by being around him, you are not safe.
Fantastic video *chef's kiss* I never noticed how many villains use a purple and green colour scheme. Blew my mind! 15:48 A slight correction there. The Dark Angels were the template for the other Space Marine legions. That's why they were the 1st Legion, why Lion El'Jonson is technically the eldest Primarch and why all Space Marines are called the "Angels of Death".
Thank you for this video!!! I would "love" for you to go more into detail...I hear Marco, NJM talk about hues and a lot about values and I would love to understand more about this topic...perhaps you could also go more into detail on how color choices are selected for miniatures...
We already are! By popular demand see our polls, we put up fairly regular channel updates. In-depth colour psychology and colour theory won by a large margin, so large that after a day of having the poll out we called it. You can find these polls in the community tab of our channel
So glad RUclips recommended this video to me. It was so so interesting and I'm looking forward to watching the follow up video tomorrow. What you said about colors fits with my custom Space Wolf Chapter colors. Primarily red, black as a secondary, metallics are trim/tertiary. The idea of red being power and ferocity(violence is what I believe you used) mixed wtih the intimidating power of black suits the lore I've cooked up for them. Also the fact they're a deeper red(same color as the Word Bearers Chaos Marines) makes me feel like they have a "controlled" or perhaps "contained" violence. It's not wild like the World Eaters or Blood Angels, it's a controlled tool.
I'm really surprised GW put that much thought into the Legions with colour matching lore/back story. Even from the start and the accidentals like White Scars.
Found this video to be quite interesting. Got me curious about my own armies because all of my current 40k armies have some variation of brown or tan as one of their two main colours. Marines have zandri dust base washed with agrax and higlighted back up to zandri and karak stone, then complemented with off white shoulder pads/chest eagles. Tyranids have earth brown highlighted up to brighter averland sunset for their carapace then leathery brown flesh (was old scorched brown highlighted up with increasing amounts of snakebite). My tau are the darker brown/steel legion drab paired with a black that mixed in a bit of bone. Went with a brighter blue/turquiose for the spot. And my necrons are the more desaturated tan with graveyard earth, paired with a black mixed in with some more brown, and then their green glow effect as a spot colour. Looked up the meanings of brown and tan and got reliability, practicality, simplicity, and grounding/stability. Seems to be a very fitting colour for my personality, and is probably why i like it so much.. .
Thanks for a great video. I'd love a part 2 of this, with a maybe more indepth look. Taking metallics into account and more about greys. Oh and how adjacent colours on the colour wheel affect each other from psychological point of view. Like what does a bluish green represents in comparison to a yellowish green etc.
We have already finished our video on metallic and it will be out this Sunday, and we briefly talk about the idea of colour pairing in the video, we may be going into more depth in the future but we want to talk about a diversity of topics
Thank you very much for this video! It's been eye opening One color that unfortunately has not been mentioned is teal/turquise. Could you perhaps make a video one day about this one? I have struggled to find what is the meaning behind it. On one hand it is somewhat close to sea green, but it seems much more calm and friendly? Like the color of a calm sea, like mediterranean
@@wholesome2399 Well you can just vote on this poll! Hopefully for Galaxy Bela'Kor and Creating Lore because the colour psychology videos are long and hard to do
Would love if you guys looked at color theory of parade schemes of Battletech factions and their different units. Lots of different colors that would be interesting to see what you feel they are attempting to protray. Really cool video though. Glad I stumbled upon it.
We didn't do brown in this one but we are doing it the in one we are working on as voted by the people In-depth colour theory and psychology. We will hopefully... be releasing it next week however we are currently at 24 minutes and we are only finished secondary colours so it is going to be a long one... If you like to keep updated subscribing is the best way. Hope you have a great day
Well, the popularity of my Nickel blue Grey Knights, deep purple and emerald green Necrons, and dark blue and metallic green/gold Tyranids makes more sense now. My older works weren't painted particularly well, but people still loved them.
And now you have me wondering if the colour scheme I came up with for my custom Space-Marine chapter actually "fits" with how I want to portray them... ^^; They are called the "Voidwyems" and they are meant to be stealthy and secretive. The 'core' of their armour is a very dark 'midnight blue', but the outer portions (hands, feet, shoulder pads) are a much lighter blue (only slightly darker than that of the Ultramarines). Their primary chapter-wide accent colour (so not the company specific colours) is a dark 'crimson' red. All of their colours are meant to be more 'muted' (less saturated) because of their stealthy nature - bright colours make you easier to see after all.
Sounds perfect to me - think about the Night Lords, also stealthy and use the same idea of midnight blue. I think generally, most people who create a custom scheme and lore usually get it right, whether consciously or not. Nobody would think 'here's my stealthy chapter - they should be red!' because the psychology of colors relates to innate, learned information that is in our genetic code. Dark blue reminds us naturally of night time (think about how every night scene in every movie is lit, ever!) we know what colours 'feel' right to us because it's in our very nature.
Their colour scheme is reminiscent of a mantis (obviously) but they are embodying the more modern look of militaries with the idea of camouflage, indeed in their lore they are one of the marine chapters that do use camouflage in guerilla warfare campaigns.
@@WhatareyouPaintingnowI enjoyed the metallic video as well. I just watched this video again as I had a question. How does shading and contrast effect the meaning of a colour? Honestly I don't know if those are the proper words for what I want to describe. For example if you take Orange and make it darker and with a splash of red to make Burnt Orange or as Pilot calls it, "Apache Sunset" does it still mean energy, enthusiasm, and childlike passion? Or does it morph? Same with colours like Teal or Aqua they are quite flamboyant colours, but when/if you darken them it's not quite so flamboyant. I keep coming back to thinking about Aquaman. In the comics he used to have a brighter orange and brighter teal/aqua colour scheme, but now both colours are not muted though definitely darkened. What effect does this have on the psychology of the colours? Full Disclosure: I do have a personal stake in this question as I use a Deep Burnt Orange or "Apache Sunset" for the ink color in my fountain pen. You have me thinking about the messages that I am sending out with my wardrobe and accessories.
@@DD_Dietriech we have a poll up on what to do next and meaningful marines kinda "blue" everything out of the water. So that's up next but if you want more personal stuff go on the Facebook group paint something up and ask for advice there! We give reviews every week and respond to what people ask here it isn't the best for long form commuication
But with the exception of some very striking models done by Seige Studios, most of the paint jobs and I dare say the 'official' scheme is that muted Oranage again, sometimes bordering on brown. But you are right orange contrasted with Green plasma could look quite striking
I am glad you like it, there is a follow up about metallics here ruclips.net/video/53dJAoGMXJ4/видео.html and hopefully in depth colour theory will becoming out next weekend we have been working on it for quite a while
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow Fantastic! I'm going to have to rewatch this one. I've started a new project and these videos will help me to get the best out of my painting.
The Luna Wolves also known as the 16th Legion wasn't the template that the other space marines where based off! It was in fact the the Dark Angels or the 1st legion, the original colors of the Dark Angels was black with red and white as secondly colors.
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow All the legions where based of the Uncrowned Princes which where proto-Astartes created form the Dark Angels gene-seed, most of the legions battle doctrine comes for the 1st legion.
Having played with toy soldiers most of my young life, when i eventually started collecting 40k in my twenties I chose T'au and painted them in the T'au sept colours despite my love for imperial factions from the video games and lore. The hobby has revitalised that childlike energy I used to have, and now the choice of the T'au seems less odd in hindsight. Interesting video.

Very interesting! I painted my Drukhari in purple and green without even realizing hoe many "classic villains" are portrayed on those colours, but i love it even more now hahaha

I didn’t think I would enjoy this video. I just clicked on it because I was bored and it popped up in my feed. Boy was I wrong. This was actually very informative and entertaining
I am glad you liked it, what made the difference for you do you think?
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow I tend to like informative videos regardless of the subject. The presentation of raw information combined with what felt like genuine enthusiasm for the subject material, and connecting it to a topic I'm already passionate about made the video really hit home.
I think an analysis of ho metallics fit into the color psychology would be interesting. What does adding the metallic element do to modify the psychology of the bolor it is derived from?

Thanks I am glad you found it useful, was any of it surprising to find out?
Was interesting in general as I never put much thought into how we perceive colors. Blue being reliable seems obvious now, when we thing of the sky, which is always there, no matter what. Your video gave me a push to look back and reconsider colors and why most people feel the way they feel about them. Suddenly 40k studio color schemes begun to tell a story, which is awesome.
@@Scarhandpainting Thanks for the detailed feedback
Before watching: red green in Orks and Circle Orboros
After:
Circle Orboros: forest green cloaks, golden armor, and flaming red hair for the vengeful, elite, druids.
40k Ork Boom Boys (back in 3rd, before it was cool): predominantly blood red with wildly varied green skin. I used highlight colors based on my three divisions: blue for meks and heavy weapons, yellow and orange for speedsters and mobile weapons teams, black and purple for stealth. The horde of boys wore browns, and pale blues and greys, with red and black highlights and accents. Then the leaders of those units had saturated blues, darker browns, and large areas of red.
It's funny how much of this I actually studied in school, but how unconsciously I applied it
I guess some of it stuck!
Very interesting stuff and summary with good examples. I enjoyed this very much. Thx
Glad you enjoyed it, we work hard on them
That was an amazing episode. Would you consider covering all the factions and mentioning what their color schemes invoke? Or maybe an episode on how color theory ties into color psychology.
I am really glad you enjoyed it! We don't want to be too Warhammer focused, but... that other idea about how colour psychology and colour theory work together sounds interesting, we may actually do an episode on that.
Another point about black as a color of strength, it's been noted that black as a color shows no weakness. An enemy soldier in a black uniform could be bleeding out in front of you, and you wouldn't know it because you couldn't see it. You could tie that into its connotations of mystery as well, since it hides and camouflages any weaknesses on the wearer's part. Black to me also carries connotations of seriousness and professionalism, because it's not a peacocking kind of color. It's the opposite of bright and flashy. With that and the cultural context of black being the most common color of business suits and military dress uniforms, I've always interpreted it as the color worn by people who are here to get the job done without fanfare or egotism. All of that is a big part of why I painted my army predominantly black. Though I also added gold trim because I like the contrast and it felt like it gave them an element of class and refinement.
I’d be super keen to see a full series on this!
Thanks we have received a lot of feedback like that

Please make more of these! I would specifically love a video about how to select a color scheme for an army based on an invented backstory. When you said that the Dark Angel's colors were chosen BECAUSE of their backstory it really got the wheels spinning! Which is helpful, as I'm working on Freeboota Orks and I'm hitting a wall. Any suggestions are welcome!
Browns and Blacks that are broken up by shiny objects and ones that are brightly colored. Pirates have red, white and blue as their usual colorscheme, so giving them brown/black pants or shirts and making the other part red or blue or white with red or blue stripes works well for the boys.
This was one of our video idea for our next video after the metallic one this Sunday. If you looking for a good place to try things out try the WAYPN group on Facebook found in the description.
White Scars are literally one of the most expresive chapters. All ther warriors are encouraged to do some kind of art and poetry. Besides, they are one of the most "humans" of all.
But... did they stay far away from their other brother legions and do their own thing rather than being a part of integrated forces?
A.k.a cold and distant?
No joke this was really insightful for preparing and choosing my color scheme.
I am glad it helped and I left a very rambly comment to your other question
My custom chapters armor uses primarily gold with accents of green and white, the energy effects and lenses are red, and they use a knight-like aesthetic. If I was to apply color theory, the gold armor presents dominance, which is mixed with purity and hope, and their stronger weapons are tinged with rage and passion. The red eye lenses also probably shows an inner passion that colors how they see the world. That fits a lot of what I was going for, neat! I was also trying to use white to represent wisdom and skill, which is why their bolters have white casings instead of red.

Love the video!
I'm working on a commission for friend and this video has really helped me to understand some of the color choices that my friend has chosen for his model.
Whether the colors are his favorite, I don't know, but this video definitely opened my eyes to something deeper.
Now I just need to make the colors work together. Lol
I am really glad it helped with your commission work
Purple is a colour that is defined by its country of use. In Britain and the countries they colonised, purple is attributed with royalty, and high standing, due to the restricted use of the colour in clothing only for the royal family and their close allies. In America though, Purple is used to denote evil characters, as this leads back to the American revolution and the hatred of the royal family.
In eastern countries, purple was used in both high and low standing cultures, depending on its tone. Lighter purple was romantic, and kind, whilst darker purple was more secretive, and showed the possibility of deception.
This is why Disney / DC / Marvel villains use purple, as it comes from a restriction of that colour only for royalty. It evokes the idea of 'better than you' due to the difficulty of its manufacture.
In nature on the other hand, purple is a warning colour. close to blood red, it denotes poison, and death. So deeper purples are avoided.
Yes this would be a great example of how a colour's meaning changes according to its hue, saturation and cultural background ~Sunny
This was an amazing video!!!

Heresy era World Easters definitively had one of the best color schemes.
I would say I love the Dark Angels orginal scheme because I am a Lion man, but... saying you like black as an original legion colour... it's so original... so very original ha ha - Cal
Thanks for a great video. What about a topic or series about exploring each chapter based on their color scheme having an in-depth guide or analysis on their identity as a chapter? Not only to space marines but the other factions as well, including the xenos. Again, keep making videos. You guys are awesome!
Your not the first to suggest an idea but we want this to be a general hobby channel, and not to be 100% all about Warhammer so more people can enjoy it, however we do have a video planned about how to give your marines meaning, talking about heraldry, colour psychology, model meaning and so on
When I paint my salamanders army, I’ve got specific themes for each model/unit. For example my dreadnoughts are different types of green from a bright green leviathan fighting off night lords, to my darker green redemptor who just smashed a daemon. It’s from the perspective of the daemons for the redemptor
Yeah a lot of colours will have specific meaning to units that's common throughout history too
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow I didn’t know they did that with different tones/saturations with colors. I guess I shouldn’t feel bad knowing my entire salamanders army has different shades of green. The darker greens also represent older/veteran marines where bright ones represent initiates who graduated. Kinda like how reptiles change their tones as get older
@@virgilromero3252 😊nice to give meaning to those sorts of things
@@WhatareyouPaintingnow that’s the hobby, I’m happy gaming companies give us this freedom to create our own story to supplement the main ones. After watching this video I’ve discovered how to use different saturations, which earned you guys a sub! Keep up the great content
Green is the easiest color on the eyes and requires the least effort for the eye to process. Red and blue, which are at the edges of the visible spectrum, are the hardest. When you are looking at purple, you are looking at a combination of the two most strenuous colors for the eye to process. Putting the purple and green side by side is both even more strenuous on the eyes, and presents extremes that makes one feel less safe.
If you look at your villains, you will find that, typically, if they are a combination of these two colors, the more purple is present, the more overtly evil they are. Example: The Joker wears all purple which is highlighted by green hair. Right off the bat, you know the Joker is synonymous with evil and chaos. On the other end, you have Lex Luthor in his power suit. Lex presents himself as a level-headed businessman, and wants you to like him, while behind closed doors, he is a merciless monster. His colors, then, are mostly green with little highlights of purple. It says, "I'm trustworthy," while between the cracks, you can see that something is not right and by being around him, you are not safe.
Fantastic video *chef's kiss* I never noticed how many villains use a purple and green colour scheme. Blew my mind!
15:48 A slight correction there. The Dark Angels were the template for the other Space Marine legions. That's why they were the 1st Legion, why Lion El'Jonson is technically the eldest Primarch and why all Space Marines are called the "Angels of Death".
Thank you for this video!!! I would "love" for you to go more into detail...I hear Marco, NJM talk about hues and a lot about values and I would love to understand more about this topic...perhaps you could also go more into detail on how color choices are selected for miniatures...

Hi, quite a few people have asked about a metallic episode, we have released one here, please take a look!
ruclips.net/video/53dJAoGMXJ4/видео.html
So glad RUclips recommended this video to me. It was so so interesting and I'm looking forward to watching the follow up video tomorrow. What you said about colors fits with my custom Space Wolf Chapter colors. Primarily red, black as a secondary, metallics are trim/tertiary. The idea of red being power and ferocity(violence is what I believe you used) mixed wtih the intimidating power of black suits the lore I've cooked up for them. Also the fact they're a deeper red(same color as the Word Bearers Chaos Marines) makes me feel like they have a "controlled" or perhaps "contained" violence. It's not wild like the World Eaters or Blood Angels, it's a controlled tool.
We are really glad you enjoyed it

Found this video to be quite interesting.
Got me curious about my own armies because all of my current 40k armies have some variation of brown or tan as one of their two main colours.
Marines have zandri dust base washed with agrax and higlighted back up to zandri and karak stone, then complemented with off white shoulder pads/chest eagles.
Tyranids have earth brown highlighted up to brighter averland sunset for their carapace then leathery brown flesh (was old scorched brown highlighted up with increasing amounts of snakebite).
My tau are the darker brown/steel legion drab paired with a black that mixed in a bit of bone. Went with a brighter blue/turquiose for the spot.
And my necrons are the more desaturated tan with graveyard earth, paired with a black mixed in with some more brown, and then their green glow effect as a spot colour.
Looked up the meanings of brown and tan and got reliability, practicality, simplicity, and grounding/stability. Seems to be a very fitting colour for my personality, and is probably why i like it so much..

Thanks for a great video. I'd love a part 2 of this, with a maybe more indepth look. Taking metallics into account and more about greys. Oh and how adjacent colours on the colour wheel affect each other from psychological point of view. Like what does a bluish green represents in comparison to a yellowish green etc.
We have already finished our video on metallic and it will be out this Sunday, and we briefly talk about the idea of colour pairing in the video, we may be going into more depth in the future but we want to talk about a diversity of topics

One color that unfortunately has not been mentioned is teal/turquise. Could you perhaps make a video one day about this one? I have struggled to find what is the meaning behind it.

@@Shane1873 I am really glad
Well, the popularity of my Nickel blue Grey Knights, deep purple and emerald green Necrons, and dark blue and metallic green/gold Tyranids makes more sense now.
My older works weren't painted particularly well, but people still loved them.
And now you have me wondering if the colour scheme I came up with for my custom Space-Marine chapter actually "fits" with how I want to portray them... ^^;
They are called the "Voidwyems" and they are meant to be stealthy and secretive. The 'core' of their armour is a very dark 'midnight blue', but the outer portions (hands, feet, shoulder pads) are a much lighter blue (only slightly darker than that of the Ultramarines). Their primary chapter-wide accent colour (so not the company specific colours) is a dark 'crimson' red. All of their colours are meant to be more 'muted' (less saturated) because of their stealthy nature - bright colours make you easier to see after all.
Sounds perfect to me - think about the Night Lords, also stealthy and use the same idea of midnight blue. I think generally, most people who create a custom scheme and lore usually get it right, whether consciously or not. Nobody would think 'here's my stealthy chapter - they should be red!' because the psychology of colors relates to innate, learned information that is in our genetic code. Dark blue reminds us naturally of night time (think about how every night scene in every movie is lit, ever!) we know what colours 'feel' right to us because it's in our very nature.
I would like to hear your thoughts on the Mantis Warriors colour scheme.
Their colour scheme is reminiscent of a mantis (obviously) but they are embodying the more modern look of militaries with the idea of camouflage, indeed in their lore they are one of the marine chapters that do use camouflage in guerilla warfare campaigns.
Perfect video love it
Thank you glad you liked it
I really enjoyed this breakdown of the colours and associations. I would like another, if you will do one please.
Metallic is out tomorrow may continue with these
@@WhatareyouPaintingnowI enjoyed the metallic video as well. I just watched this video again as I had a question. How does shading and contrast effect the meaning of a colour? Honestly I don't know if those are the proper words for what I want to describe. For example if you take Orange and make it darker and with a splash of red to make Burnt Orange or as Pilot calls it, "Apache Sunset" does it still mean energy, enthusiasm, and childlike passion? Or does it morph?
Same with colours like Teal or Aqua they are quite flamboyant colours, but when/if you darken them it's not quite so flamboyant.
I keep coming back to thinking about Aquaman. In the comics he used to have a brighter orange and brighter teal/aqua colour scheme, but now both colours are not muted though definitely darkened.
What effect does this have on the psychology of the colours?
Full Disclosure: I do have a personal stake in this question as I use a Deep Burnt Orange or "Apache Sunset" for the ink color in my fountain pen. You have me thinking about the messages that I am sending out with my wardrobe and accessories.

Ryza mechanics is a prominent sub faction that is orange. I could see excessive energy as they have improved plasma weapons.
But with the exception of some very striking models done by Seige Studios, most of the paint jobs and I dare say the 'official' scheme is that muted Oranage again, sometimes bordering on brown.
But you are right orange contrasted with Green plasma could look quite striking
This is fascinating!

Having played with toy soldiers most of my young life, when i eventually started collecting 40k in my twenties I chose T'au and painted them in the T'au sept colours despite my love for imperial factions from the video games and lore. The hobby has revitalised that childlike energy I used to have, and now the choice of the T'au seems less odd in hindsight. Interesting video.

Word Bearers went from Grey to Red, this is pretty interesting stuff!
Yeah a lot of the heresy colour shifts are pretty telling (Edited: I apparently missed the f in shift.. 😳)
