    RYB isn't *outdated* when you're still working with physical pigments and I think that's an important note.

      @aquabluerose7734 Pƙed rokem +108

      CMYK is more accurate though in terms of what the primaries are (and CMYK is for physical pigments just like RYB.). It's just a slightly hue shifted version of RYB. You can't achieve cyan or magenta by mixing, but red is magenta shifted towards orange, and the RYB blue is cyan shifted towards purple. The yellow is fine though. The difference between using the rules of the two is more in terms of what pigments you buy though than in how you mix them.

      @@aquabluerose7734 The color wheels are all basically based on how they treat black. In RYB black is the absence of color because it's based on how light interacts with the world (in RYB white is the combination of all colors). In RGB it's the opposite, because it is based on how physical paint combines. If you mix all of the colors together you get black, while white is the complete absence of color. CMYK black is a separate color (the K) that gets added into the other colors in order to create different hues and values. This is based on how printers handle color when you are printing out artwork.
      When you're painting, you're automatically using RGB colors because of the way the pigments interact when you apply them to the canvas. It's not based on the pigments you buy because they still follow the same rules of RGB color.

    To clarify a bit on the rgb/ryb/cmyk, NEVER use rgb for paint. Paint is color, and they mix backwards. While all all the colors mixed togeyher is white to rgb, because it's measuring the color of light, paint is measuring the color of objects we see like paints. Cmyk is the dots in old comics where they get printed out. Cmyk is the color scheme printers use to make colors, because it has a wider number of colors it can make compared to rgb or ryb.
    None of them are 'incorrect'but also not all of them are right for either medium either. Don't Use rgb with physical paints, or vice versa.
    Hope this helps ✹
    EDIT: I am back and edited because this comic started to pick up in popularity and it was badly worded. Thank you for the corrections on cmyk! I'd recommend looking into the comments for a better explanation of cmyk :))

      Thank you for posting this! I was scrolling the comments hoping someone had pointed this out. She kept saying CMYK is the "contemporary artists" wheel. Like there's some elitist group of artists out there that only use CMYK because they're too cool for RGB or something. CMYK is for print and the K is important because it stands for Key, and uses black. High quality printers have a separate cartridge for black and different values are achieved by adding black to to the mix of colors. IIRC most digital artists who create for print, still work in RGB and switch to CMYK at the end, so they can do any necessary adjustments before sending it off.

      @@GamerWolvenna yeah, I loved the video but was really confused about why she called it that when cmyk coloring is older than rgb by decades, printing has happened long before digital art. It's anything but contemporary to me. I use it like every day for English assignments, it's hardly contemporary. Also like I said, you should never use it in traditional art because it isn't made for that and she said it like you can if you are some elite ultimate artist or something?? You just don't because paint can't do that lmao.

      CYMKis also use for printer but not just for it, blue and red aren't actually primary colors, cyan and magenta are, RYB is a limited color palet that can't make every color that was used in traditional Art only because of limitations in the colours they could produce, CYM is a better system for traditional Art as it can make a wider range of colours.

    • @mundaneal
      @mundaneal Pƙed rokem +36

      Nah, man, cmy is the new and improved subtractive wheel method for painting. It is not just for printing anymore! You can now mix those splendid colors! You get more saturated mixes when you use this wheel. Have you ever mixed red and blue together and noticed the type of purple you end up with? It is kind of dull
maybe even oddly brownish. This is do to red being a color that nears yellow more than it nears blue. When you use magenta it is closer to blue, therefore you get a lovely purple that is vibrant.
      Still
if I am honest, I think there should be two parts for each primary. Red leans towards yellow-it is great to make orange-while magenta leans towards blue-great to make purple. With blue, you can get colors like
primary cyan for those brighter greens and ultramarine blue for those lovely duller greens. For yellow, primary is usually better for oranges while something like
cad primrose leans more towards greens.

      It's because "dark yellow" isn't really a thing. Lightness is intrinsic to yellow; you can't darken it without also desaturating it. Darken it enough and it stops being yellow and turns either green or brown. Same with orange. Once a color gets desaturated enough, it harmonizes with everything, just like white, grey, and black. That's why earth tones are also called neutrals.

    I worked in print, at a newspaper. It's interesting to watch how digital tools and better CMYK mechanisms in graphic software have led to much better print qualities. If you work with Lasers, RGB is thing that makes sense -- you add red light, green light to get yellow, add all 3 to get white -- called Light Additive; in print its CMYK, with K being black. Lasers build images out of darkness, while CMYK builds images on a (usually) white surface, so can be called Light Subtractive; when you put Cyan on white, you are subtracting all other colors from the light reflecting off the canvas. The ink in this case is actually a filter, filtering out other light

    If you do a lot of color mixing & don’t do digital art, RYB is a good basis to keep in mind* ESPECIALLY when you’re creating your own paint from scratch via non-synthetic items for pigment.**
    magenta= mix certain ratio of red to a certain ratio of blue (or certain purples - which is already comprised of red & blue - mixed with certain reds)
    cyan=equal amounts of blue+equal amount of green to create teal, you lighten the teal with either yellow or white to get to cyan. The type of green & blue you used will determine if yellow or white will be more efficient.
    Experiment a lot, to help you acquire a practical grasp of your chosen medium’s limitations and difficulties when it comes to color.
    **If you’re making your own paint, the binder can also affect your color’s final look.

    No - RGB is a digital color wheel. RBY is pigment based. One's not "contemporary" and the other's "outdated," it's specific to your medium. You're a digital artist, therefore you're concerned with the primary _pixle_ colors (RGB). However, people who use pigment-based mediums (there are a TON of painters still out there) use the RBY color wheel because red, blue, and yellow are the primary colors that do not have other colors in them. You can't mix two or more colors together and get red, yellow, or blue. When you're using pigments, that's important because you want to know what your base colors are, and mix from there. Green, on the other hand, is a combination of yellow and blue, and therefore not a true primary in pigment based mediums. This is important because there's no amount of mixing of blue and red that you can do to get yellow, and therefore you can't get green, either. An RGB primary color wheel is impossible with physical mediums.

      There is no contemporary or modern color wheel. The three color wheels are based on different things. The RYB wheel comes from the way light reflects color. In RYB adding all colors together gives you pure white because that's how light works. The RGB wheel comes from the way artists mix paint. Adding together all pigments gives you black, while white is the absence of all color. The CMYK wheel comes from the way printers print color. Printers struggle to create tonal variation with just three colors, so they have a fourth color called "Key." Which is pure black. Printers add black into other colors to create darker values and add less black for lighter values. You only ever use CMYK if you're sending a digital painting off for print, and even then you'll probably work in RGB first and switch at the end.
      It's important to understand why each of the color wheels. None of them are outdated and none of them are more correct than the others. They all have different uses.

      @@GamerWolvenna by using RYB you are limiting the range of colours you can have, it is based on outdated colour theory, red and blue are not primary colours, magenta and cyan are, you can't make magenta and cyan. with RYB, but you can make red and blue with CMY.

    "Usually in concept art it'll be complimentary and usually it will be like a red-cyan or yellow-blue situation" I feel called out
    And as someone who's self taught and knows a lot of self taught artists, the fascinating thing is a lot of us fell into even some of these more complicated color schemes quite naturally because we learned to notice what things work well together and what doesn't as part of our personal education journeys.

    So much crazy half-correct information flowing around. None of the three color wheels are "better" or "worse" or "outdated."
    Red-Yellow-Blue: These are the correct primary colors for opaque pigments. This includes oil paint and acrylic paint. These media reflect the light directly from the surface of the paint. When this light is reflected, some color wavelengths are reflected, and others are absorbed by the material. If you mix a blue acrylic paint with a yellow acrylic paint, you will indeed get green paint, as this wheel tells you.
    Red-Green-Blue: These are the correct primary colors of light. If you shine a green light and a red light on the same spot, you will get a yellow light, as this wheel tells you.
    Magenta-Cyan-Yellow: These are the correct primary colors for transparent media, such as screenprinting ink or printing ink on paper. Unlike with a pigment, light passes through these, hits the (usually) white surface in the background, and reflects back to your eye, passing through the transparent layers on the way back.

  • @MostYourBase
    @MostYourBase Pƙed rokem +1

    Thanks for this. I'm no artist, so color schemes are pretty new concepts to me. But it seems like there's some contention on RGB vs CMYK vs RYB, and I do know a thing or two about that (from a hard science perspective).
    So RGB is additive, while CMYK and RYB are subtractive. They're three different things that are used in different applications. RYB may be outdated in digital art (I'm no expert in art), but from a practical perspective, the three are mutually exclusive, and nothing makes RYB less important.
    The RGB colors carry luminance (not sure if this is the correct word for this), which provides light (rgb can illuminate a dark room). If you have a given color, and you mix in another color, you're adding light. When you add RGB together in even proportions, you will get some form of grayscale/white (essentially the same). Since RGB adds light, no amount of addition will get you black. You start with black and ADD to it.
    CMYK seems to be most common in printing.. And with CMYK, you start with set base color (whatever you're printing on) that provides all the lightness (not light) you have to work with. This base is seen through the translucent inks that subtract from it. So as you mix, you theoretically end up with black. The ink itself doesn't include any white/luminance. When you print with CMYK, you can can never end up with a color lighter than the surface you're printing on.
    For paints (the opaque ones like acrylics.. Not translucent like water colors), any given color is made starting with a white base, which provides lightness. The pigments are then mixed in, subtractibg from the base white color. Because each color of paint includes some amount of white (the base) no amount of paint mixing will give you black. Because these paints are opaque and carry with them a white base that provides lightness, you can get a color that's lighter than whatever it is you're painting on.
    So for some examples, RGB is like combining colored flashlights, CMYK is like stacking colored transparencies, and RYB is like mixing colored sand.
    I hope this helps someone.

It's true that RGB/CMYK are the physical ways that color is combined in a technically balanced way, but RYB works not just because it's traditional, we also like psychologically find more harmony in those complements.

    I like this video a lot, but that being said, I would describe the RYB vs RGB color wheels as being "Light Additive" vs "Light Subtractive" instead of "outdated" vs "modern" because it simply isn't true. Pigment and Pixel are different because of physics, one is useful for this kind of art, the other is much better for other kinds of art. One is not outdated.

    When referring to the color wheels, my brother and I use “light” and “dye” to distinguish between them, because in terms of dyes and physical pigments, red yellow and blue are still primary colors, so I wouldn’t think that the dyes (RYB) color wheel is outdated or “not modern,” it’s just not applicable to digital art references like the light (RGB) color wheel
