    Thank you so much for this invaluable video. As you said, it will definitely need some time to grasp all the details and as a newbie trying to self -teach colour concepts, I've started to get confused with what actual primary colours are - red,yellow and blue or red, green and blue. Thanks to you, now I've fully understood why the confusion is. Really appreciated your effort and time.

    @WillJBailey Před 3 lety

    Really good info here, and on the rest of your channel, thank you. I'm doing a video on colour mixing for painters at the moment and one thing that came up in my research is that the idea that the receptors in our eyes have independent red, yellow and blue sensors (ie cones and rods) is now outdated. The relationship between them is much more complex and the colours they read broader than previously understood.
