    Careful! Different cultures and languages have some very different color associations. Not everyone thinks of a certain color as associated with the same meanings. So try to learn about these color associations from different groups, by reading up on color.

      I was going to say. Good video, but a lot of the associations mentioned are either slightly out of date or incredibly culture and context specific. Such as pink (gendered only by culture and milieu) and purple (blue has similar royal connotations) . Greenwashing, also, a lot of companies gravitate around blue for that, rather than green.

    The thing with color psychology is that it works in certain ways, and not in others. I shoot headshots for people, and often people, especially upper management people, will talk about color psychology in why they pick a certain tie, shirt, or dress. I always have to tell them that's not how it works. No one sees a purple shirt and goes wow, that person is so regal. They go wow, pale white guy in a dark purple shirt? He clearly doesn't know how to dress himself.
    Where colors come into play is logos and branding. Going back to purple, we see that as regal because when we think of things like velvet, crowns and money. If someone has a purple velvet jacket, they look rich, or at least they try to. Like Crown Royal, they use purple and they try to make their drink look expensive. All of their branding backs that up.
    What I'm trying to say is this stuff is real, it's based on the associations we've made with colors and things we've seen throughout our lives and through history. And they work. But they're not for everything. Don't start wearing red so you look more powerful. It doesn't work like that.

    • @macaroni586
      @macaroni586 Год назад +1

      I don't know. If I saw someone walking down the street in a high end suit specifically wearing red or purple I'd honestly some sort of pimpy impression of danger.
      I don't really picture it with anything else besides maybe black. Maybe it's just that the colors work best within their context. I mean outside is random, so seeing a random red man is probably going to be something, while other colors would be more null in this context, rather than all colors null all together. Or maybe they're just more subtle and less impactful to near non mattering

      nah, this is like when designers find moral values in logos. It is so arbitrary. If red is passion what happens on a traffic light? or a hydrant? Colours are asigned meaning in context and that's it. But how can blue ever be "intelligence"??? And combining colours has only one rule: just don't put every colour in your composition, but if you're going to, make sure you gave them a certain shade of the colour of the source light and that's it. There's not many rules for colours, the science of them is what we know and should consider to when using them.

If you want to make a happy-go-lucky character, you'd most likely make them gave a warm color pallette. As an artist myself, your comment is exactly what a beginner would say. Back then, I would also be arrogant and think that colors don't matter, but they in fact, does matter. This isn't a rule, but rather a tip for artists.

    This is SOO interesting! I have almost no knowledge of the color wheel because I'm not an artist, I don't draw, paint, or use the color wheel's complementary colors consciously. But I found this incredibly intriguing and it was so well explained! And it got me thinking since I'm a musical theatre performer, how can I use this to my advantage? Subconsciously these colors all trigger something in our brain to feel a certain way and I think that using a color's positives and negatives can help you fit a character better in an audition so you appeal more like that character to those casting the show. I know this is done already at least by people who create the costumes but I feel like most auditioners don't use it as much because we have much more limited knowledge about what color means what. I know red means power and love and more basic ones but I'm definitely going to look more into this because I think it's so interesting and can be so useful! Thank you!!

    A short summary of this video:
    1. Your favorite color came from a positive experience you had, that single color when you were growing up but when you grew older, you likely learned what colors represent.
    2. Yellow, Blue, and Red are three colors that can not be created when mixing any other two colors together.
    3. Color nuances are important in visual marketing because they convey your brand personality. Choosing the right color can either detract from or support your overall message.

    This is a great video and very informative. However the bit at the beginning about red, blue, and yellow being the primary colors because they are the only colors that cannot be made by mixing any other colors together... This is actually wrong. It is what we are taught in elementary school but it is still wrong.
    By mixing Magenta & Yellow we get a true vibrant Red. By mixing Cyan & Magenta we get a true vibrant Blue.By mixing Cyan & Yellow we get a true and vibrant Green. Some people will call the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow wheel 'pigments', 'shades', 'secondary', 'hues' etc but this couldn't be farther from the truth. And the fact that proves Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow are the true and only real primary colors is no two(or more) colours can be mixed together to make Cyan, Magenta, or Yellow.
    This is why printer Cartridges don't have Red (because Magenta and Yellow make Red) or Blue(because Magenta and Cyan make Blue) or Green (because Cyan and Yellow make Green) but rather Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, and Black.
    Anyhow great video presentation.
