Simultaneous Contrast Explained | Classical Painting Color Theory

Simultaneous contrast is extremely important for the Apelles palette. Each color will have a different appearance depending on what other colors are around it. To get the most out of your palette you need to consider how the contrast will play into your color scheme. Mars black mixed with titanium white creates a slightly blueish gray color or “Apelles blue”. With the Apelles palette this gray color can serve as a blue due to the effects of simultaneous contrast.

hello sir Nic do you still considered the more saturated yellow's an part of Apalles Palette like Cadnium Yellow,Hansa Yellow,Bismuth Yellow and Benzadamole Yellow?

[@neogerula]

Knowing and using this way of creating contrast what would be your opinion on using that colour checker mentioned in the Carder method tutorials, which came up to me now ? Seems to me like two different ways to achieve subtleness...Thank you for all your kind explanations.

[@NicThurman]

Can you elaborate on what Carder’s color checker is? Im not sure

[@neogerula]

@@NicThurman Of course, basicly he developed a handmade device on wich one can apply a sample from the palette and by taking a kind of shooting line alike of a regular gun a good comparation of value and color with any point on the model or reference is possible.And he encourages this kind of objectivity specially in beginner students

[@neogerula]

As a beginner my first concern in aplying paint is the value, meanwhile differences of nuance make me not crying but rather playing eventually with the whole ensemble, and this kind of curious adventure I'd like to know if it eventually does not generate an unfortunate habit.Repairing things sometimes leave me a bitter taste, i have to say.
