    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    If your display has a dynamic backlight, the color of the square may in fact be changing along with the average image brightness. I underestimated how common this is so I didn't mention it. So, if you're seeing it change - that wasn't me! Those colors in the video file are identical.
    And, just so's ya know, there are indeed many browns and not all of them are necessarily derived from orange. As you saw, the Pantone 448C is much more like a very dark yellow. But, to me, the classic *_brown_* is definitely a descendant of orange.
    And don't get me started on beige!

      Just wanna say, at 8:15 all I can see is brown. Sure its an orangey brown, but so much darker than any color id describe as orange. Also when the background switches back and forth it doesnt really change in color at all. This video is really interesting to me, hopefully im not color blind lol especially since im a painter. I think if you spend enough time paying attention to colors, you can see how much red, green, or even blue is in them. Its kinda like looking at color temperature or color balance.

      No it isn't. People can still see and perceive brown even if they didn't have a word for it, they would just be calling it "the color of coffee" or dark-orange or some other word. Language doesn't change how your eyes see things, it only changes how you think about the thing, but not to the extent that it's impossible to change the way you think about things. Hence why you can learn new languages and new ways to think. This is why linguistic determinism is complete bogus, but linguistic relativism (not the same thing, btw) is sorta correct-ish in a milder sense.
      People are still able to perceive the colors even if there are not separate terms for them. But I would go farther and say that *we can recognize that two different colors are different even if they are called the same thing* and that *individuals can decide when a color is distinct at any moment in time.* This is what allows us to determine that two different brightnesses of light orange are in fact different, even if they are both light orange!
      Showing that colors have different categorizations or names across different languages does not prove people perceive these colors differently or that they cannot think up their own categorizations for colors. This is the biggest flaw with those who try to use color as an example of linguistic relativity. Linguistic relativity can be demonstrated in other ways, just not this one.

    I've been a color technician using dyes and pigments for a decade and am very familiar with subtractive color.
    It was fun to learn more about additive color! Fun fact, with subtractive color, we can achieve a brown out of any two colors that are opposite on the color wheel, like green and red, or orange and purple.
    Depending on the strength of the pigment, there is some perfect ratio of the two colors that will achieve some variation of brown.
    Cpnsidering orange as we did in the video, I would probably have added just a touch of green to neutralize the redness of the orange. If that shifts me into too much of a yellow space, you could add a very small amount of red (or more orange) to shift it back into a true brown.

      Isn't that just because brown and pink are both very common in nature? Pink skin on humans and brown tree trunks / grass. We create words in order to describe natural phenomenon, so our words reflect what we see. Even our eyes do not detect pure color, so every color is based on our perception of reality.

    I was never a fan of brown, especially when I was a kid. When I painted in preschool I was a fan of all colors but always got frustrated whenever I try to come up with a new color combination, but always got brown whenever I mixed three colors. Great video btw

    I appreciate this video, and you have opened my eyes to some RGB weirdness that I have wondered about. I've spent decades working with print and mixing inks, and wanted to share regarding your paint mixing demo. Orange and black paints make brown not because you are changing the contrast around the orange, but because there is almost no true black pigment available. What we call black paint is extremely dark blue. Orange is the combo of red and yellow, so mixing super dark blue into it will create brown. I have enjoyed watching your videos. Thanks for putting so much informative content out there.

      If you think it is. It is. Definitions change over time. Congrats on your thought process. When I see a police car w/ its lights on. "I think the purple got him/her another one." purple = police. You will now think Brown hair = dark ginger hair. But in a sentence. Look at that dark ginger-haired person over there. Sounds funny, or possibly racist whatever mindset the other people around you are in. You could get into some hot water. It's fun to make your brain think differently than others.
      My 2 cents. We as a society have been calling black people "black" but, really we should be calling them orange? It puts a new meaning to "orange is the new black."

    • @pagatryx5451
      @pagatryx5451 4 года назад +107

      All words are social constructs. Words allow us to make certain things distinct. Without specific words to make things distinct, we don't recognize said things as their own separate thing. Brown is as much of a social construct as Red. The difference is, most colours were named after differences in hue or differences on the light spectrum where as Brown is a colour that is different not in hue but in brightness. What this means is that it really isn't exactly real. Well, it's a real colour but there is no such thing as brown light. Just as there is no such thing as grey light or pink light. Colour doesn't really exist. Light exists but colour is a human perception of that light. Technically, light only 'exists' on the colour spectrum on the axis of hue. Saturation and brightness of colour is a construct of a brain over any social construct. So brown, like pink and grey, are three colours that are different because they only exist because our brain told us they exist. They have no real existence outside our brains.

    The choice of red for the paint is interesting because that's another where the existence of an English linguistic category gives different perceived colors within a given hue - desaturate red past a certain point and suddenly it's not "light red" the way happens with other colors, but rather becomes the new color category "pink"
