You are amazing! I’ve been to college for videography, but I also do photos. Not a single teacher taught as much as you do in one simple video. Thank you!
@@patkay Geez. You are using all the SAT words today, it sounds like you swallowed a thesaurus. You could say experimental or trial and error instead of heuristics.
"The Emotional Color Wheel" is an excellent resource (Book) on the emotional values of color and even includes a lot of cultural connections. It also delves into the use of shapes as well.
Luminosity is called "value" in the world of painting. In painting, value/luminosity is considered the most important color dimension. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you!
You've created the most useful, foundational photography videos I've come across. It's like you're teaching us how to fish, instead of giving us fish. Thank you Pat.
This is a good starting point, just keep in mind that not only do the colours themselves contribute to the composition and weight of an image, the inter-ratio of any colour to another further modifies this and is just as important. E.g. an image with 50% red and 50% green will just be jarring, you will lose the complementry effect. An image with 20% red (maybe its just a coat someone is wearing) against an 80% greens surround will establish the overall base of the image (dominance). The highlight or visual point of interest, the colour you are trying to elevate or draw attention to, will stand out more. Colour needs to be focused/targeted to get the impact you desire. Work your harmonies, but also think hard about what it is about each colour, that you want to promote or demote. The more colours you introduce, the more complex this ratio can get. This also holds true whether you are using highly saturate hues or muted colours. Putting a highly saturated subject that is 50% of your image against a muted complementry colour diminishes the jarring effect, so to just give you a bit more to consider, try to account for saturation too. Colours. Saturation. Harmonies. Ratios. How you mix these will determine whether you get the effect you want or not.
This channel has truly given me all the information that I've been looking for since I started photography. There IS a psychology to it, and I'm glad I finally found the doorway. 🙏
I went from feeling fairly confident in my understanding of color (intuitively, as opposed to in a fact-based), to learning something completely new and that I will apply to my own photography. love the idea of the assignment. Thanks Pat.
Wow. I just feel like I learned a whole year of classes in 12 mins. When the video ended I literally said "wow. that was so helpful" thank you so much for posting these amazing videos, you are an amazing teacher, and I can't wait to go take pictures of blue this week :)
I love your videos. Always informative and straight to the point. Everytime you post one of these, I actually learn from it as opposed to other photography videos where algorithm and sponsorship concerns are often the priority. Thank you so much for creating and sharing these videos.
@@Jayden-tq6to haha.. thank you Jaden. I wonder if you'd say that to me when I was saving your life in the emergency department. Go back and add some more typing click videos and post more mean comments and I'll be sure to watch them after I get out of my next trauma call. I may be a boomer to you but to my patients I am much more.

I couldn't put together why your scenery was a balance of white, blue, and orange until you explained your personal preference. Thank you for demonstrating artistic sensibilities.
Hue Tint, tone, shade Saturation- muted or more saturation. Color temperature- warm and cool. Digital-RGB, real workd colors- CYMK Luminosity - adding white to britghten but decrease saturation Color Psychology Color harmony- Analogous, monochromatic, complimentary. Why are u shooting what u are shooting and how will color help? Spend time shooting one color for 10 days.
Thank you! Ive been in a creative block lately im glad i found this! Im going to do that assignment this week! Also I love color theory and learned alot! Much love 📸
Excellent and amazingly comprehensive walk through of colour theory - a topic of my interest for years. You explained so simple yet accurate. I've been studying the Colour Circle of Goethe, and I thoroughly liked your definitions of the distinction between objectivity and subjectivity.
Good stuff. A "compliment", with an "i" is what you say when you like someone's sweater. "Complement" with an "e" is what you say when the sweater goes with the pants. It "completes" the look. Colors opposite on the color wheel are "complementary".
Wow, the video is incredible. I had a lot of photography and design courses in architecture and media university and never learned those principles and hacks!! Great!
Thanks for sharing your keenness and knowledge of the spectrum of aspects of photography Pat. You truly are a teacher with genuine interest in helping others grow. And you are very good at it. Thanks again.
I have had this on my watch list for MONTHS. I finally got to it and I’m so glad I did. I’m gonna try to use Adobe color and pick some colors to photograph like you said. Thank you!
I used to walk around and try to spot different colors each day, but i never thougt about doing the same but with a camera! Im heading out now! Thanks for the video.
Its always amazing how few views important stuff like this gets compared to gear stuff...... Personally I think you photo assignment is a lot more focused on street photography than anything else, BUT, what is important here is the FEEL.... Often what makes an image interesting is CONTRAST.... and so something WARM around things that are COLD will be compelling (and vice versa). If you are trying to portray serenity.... stick to colors that are close.... and then my favorite advice.... we as humans are naturally seduced by color.... if color isn't an important part of the story/image.... you should probably go black and white (and actually if something does not work in black and white.... you probably don't have a compelling image). Glad I found you buddy.... great to see good content out there that actually helps people become more deliberate in their photography....
The amount of information you packed in just 12 minutes is outstanding. I'm really appreciating this series.
You are amazing! I’ve been to college for videography, but I also do photos. Not a single teacher taught as much as you do in one simple video. Thank you!

Brevity is indeed the soul of wit.
Thank you fir India🙏
This channel is a treasure. The last time I got excited about the content of channel what when I found Sean Tucker. Good job bro!

I feel like i just watched the most important video of my photogrpahy life. Thanks a million.
This was genuinely so informative. Subscribed
I've had a camera for a long time now, but I often realize how little I understand about the intricacies of photography. This is awesome. Thank you.
As a photographer myself, I really appreciate the way you explained colour theory. Love it!
These visual pattern videos really stand out in the RUclips photo-sphere. Very inspirational
This video is incredibly well laid out and extremely helpful. Actionable steps are a HUGE bonus - thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for taking a complex subject and presenting it in easy to understand fashion!
my pleasure! thanks for watching :)
Man, you are a fantastically competent instructor. Thanks for sharing.
Love the example of waiting for someone wearing green! Definitely puts the assignment in perspective. I'm going to have to try!
knew absolutely nothing about colour theory before this video. great, clear and easy to understand video!
This is the simplest breakdown I've seen to date on breaking down color theory and making it much more easier to understand. Great stuff!
Loved the video. Simple, crisp & to the point. The assignment is perfect :)
Pat is wonderful, inspirational teacher of color grading🎨
thanks!
Oh man, the things I wished I learned 40 years ago. Thanks Pat, for my very first understandable and pragmatic introduction to colour theory. Cheers.
Discovering ur channel is probs the highlight of my year so far ;)
You are a very good communicator. You take complex info and simplify it.
I never miss your videos. Thank you so much Pat!
my pleasure! thanks for watching!
Thank you! You're really one of the very few people that made me listen without skipping any second
Just picked up photography and can't seem to process colour matters as efficently till this video of yours! Thank you! 🙏
Like the way you break down & deliver information. Thank you
HONESTLY, this is one of the best photography videos I've ever seen !!! thanks Pat for making great content
I have been looking for a video like this for YEARS. Thank you @PatKay, very well done. Earned a new sub 🥹
man I love colourrrrr
This is pure quality! I believe that 12.04 mins of this clip took hours and hours to prepare it.
I’m happy I kept this video for watching when calm. It’s very clear and comprehensive. Thank you!👍👌
Also notice how the blue is contrasting the warm light in the background. Great video as always! :)
This is best part of RUclips.. Totally loved the information. Subscribed.
Much love from India.

One of the most informative videos I’ve ever seen! Thank you
Good stuff. A "compliment", with an "i" is what you say when you like someone's sweater. "Complement" with an "e" is what you say when the sweater goes with the pants. It "completes" the look. Colors opposite on the color wheel are "complementary".
Wonderful, I'm so glad that I found your channel.
Found this extremely helpful! liked and subscribed.
One of the best videos I’ve seen on colors. Thanks!
Instrumentally informative, comprehensive and concise. Perfect video for diving into color theory.
This is one of the best videos I've seen about this subject, thank you so much for sharing this content!
Wow, the video is incredible. I had a lot of photography and design courses in architecture and media university and never learned those principles and hacks!! Great!
im whatching this as an illustrator, and its fantastic, ill start making drawings in specific colors to practice
Thank you. This is really new to me and I think it'll be useful.
Well made video. Clean, simple not complicated

You're so underrated man! Thanks!
You are a low key genius.
HOW COOL!!! 🤩 I'm so excited!
“The most common one is TEAL and ORANGE right now” - Did anyone notice PAT is using those colors? This man is a genius. Well done.
Thanks sir for giving us such a high quality understanding content about color theory. really helps me a lot to improve my photography skills!
Thanks for the vulgarisation of terms and the insight !
Wow, what an amazing, useful, and to the point video!

Great video, I am in the printing ink industry and your explanation about colour was spot on.
Thanks for this educational program.
Fantastic video. Clear, understandable, useful, applicable to any work. Subscription!
Man you’re so well spoken and knowledgeable! Let us know when your Lightroom course goes on sale! Or, maybe you have a promo code??? 🤞🏾
I clicked because of the topic.. subbed because of your photography.
Followed and notifications turned on. This video is very explanatory
Wow, this has blown my mind!
Thank you so much for this. I'm not a photographer, but I am learning web design and colour theory is very useful.
