Just as you can get a lot of bang for your
buck if you can manage to match colors to
its similar value, you also can work with
juxtaposing colors of similar saturation,
and contrasting colors of similar saturation.
So what happens in this color study, is that
right around the center here, we want our
focus. We've got the most saturation, I mean
that's definitely the brightest color that's
used. But the blue and the green up here are
also quite bright. They're darker but they
are similarly bright. Down as we move down
this, we stay in the blue-green range, but
we're getting a lot more neutral. As we move
down our color is a lot less neutral there
than it is up here. And what that does is
sort of make it fade away a little bit. So
again you know, the more you can control your
changes. Not just the value, but of saturation,
the more you can really control what goes
in, what goes out. You know, how much contrast
there is. Obviously you know, there's a lot
strong contrast here of value. That's dark,
that's light. Up here let's see. Up here it's
more, here it's more a terms of saturation.
That's a brighter color than this is. Also
this is warm and this is cool. So essentially,
this sits in front of this corner. And that's
how the color theory kind of comes together.
Warm sticks out, cool recedes. Stronger value
contrasts jump, lesser value contrasts recede.
And in general warm colors come out, cool
colors recede and brightness also. The bright
colors take your eye more than the dull colors.
