Color Studies

[Anonymous No.4455000]

I'm a little confused on the topic of color. Where do you even begin rationalizing why one color looks good with another? With form/perspective fundamentals there's a clear cut answer as to why something looks wrong, but with color it's more difficult to tackle. How do you do a color study the right way?

Practices and mimic, some go well with another, some don't.
It's also depend on style.
Human relies on colors to convey emotions alot.
Why do you think most artist use yellow with blue when convey summery looking scene or feeling?

If the lighting is warm your shadows are cool
If your lighting is cool your shadows are warm.

Apply that concept to any color scheme you want and your good

Also because that’s how it is in real life
So we as human understanding lighting and color because of nature we see it everyday.

Read James Gurneys "Color and Light". That's where most competent digital colorists start, if not from a formal art education. It's on libgen. Don't forget to sage.
