Bringing down the value of black with white makes it bluer, to adhere to the original red hue mix the same value of orange which is opposite of blue to the red mixture. This will make sure that the red does not lean towards red-blue while changing the saturation ( ie creating shades) but keeping the value constant.
Correction: Adding black decreases the saturation of a color one step only, adding the same black further will only decrease its value/darken the hue. In order to decrease the saturation further you need to mix red with additional green to the grey you had initially mixed. Hope this makes sense.
I'm taking an intro color theory class and am nervous, though excited, about using paint for the first time. Your video explained hue, value, and saturation very well with wonderful visuals. Thank you!
In all simplicity: Hues: pure/distinct color Tints: hue+white Tones: hue+grey Shades: hue+black Note: tints, shades, and tones are all desaturated colors. You can also desaturate colors using their complimentary colors and using the exact complimentary color will give you gray. Idk if there is a special term for this desaturation tho.
I still don't get the difference between value and saturation. I can effectively mix yellow, blue and red to get any hue I want. I can then mix any of those hue mixes with a shade of white, grey, or black - and thus get any color. Is value and saturation then just two ends of the same spectrum? In that case, couldn't they just be merged to one value i.e. 'scale from white to black mixed in'?
whats the difference between changing the value of a color and creating a tint by adding white or adding grey to create a shade? They are the same thing?
‘Add white to the black to bring it to the same value as the cadmium red’ THAT is what I don’t get. I just don’t understand value. So grey and red are the same value because they’re neither black nor white? So they’re like a 5/10 value, 1 and 10 being black and white?
This explanation is a mess. It feels like it could be something directly explained: add white to increase value, add grey to decrease saturation, mix with other color to change hue. Or however it is. This jumps all over the place.
No, you can add white, black, grey or direct complimentary colours to desaturate. And what you call these depends on what kind of desaturation you've done. In all simplicity: Hues: pure/distinct color Tints: hue+white Tones: hue+grey Shades: hue+black
This has been super helpful for me, who is just starting out with acrylic color and didn't know how to give color tones to shadows. Thank you so much!
Your video deserves lot more likes man. Amazing and simple way to to explain.
Thank you :)
one of the most clear explanations about color...

wow.. simply the best
This is what i want informative and to the point. 👍
Glad it was helpful!

Very clear and easy to understand.
Love the explanations, it all makes sense now. Thank you!
Just wow! 🤯

Omg thank you so much this was very easy to understand!
You're so welcome!
Nice one! Percentage of white and black to make grey? Please mention it.
Thanks a lot...😊😊😊😊👏👏👏👏
very interesting

IT IS INTERESTING
Great video thanks for sharing .
Thank you
Very helpful ..thanks
Thank you
I have adding grey is added to adjust saturation , not white or black , is saturation is mid of tint and shade
Wait mind blown. There's no dark yellow in nature?! Ok I'm realizing this but like I'm pretty surr I've seen some in fruits?
Omg thank you
You’re welcome ☺️
super helpful and clear!
Interesting color lesson. I'm curious, there is really no such natural color as dark yellow, so what color is mustard yellow?
mustard yellow is just a dark yellow and olive is an even darker yellow
whats the difference between changing the value of a color and creating a tint by adding white or adding grey to create a shade? They are the same thing?
finaly a video say add gray to make your colors satuation. i whas allready think it but i whasnt 100% sure
what is a value?
Essentially how light or dark something is,
So basically hue is pure color
Saturation is tones of colors
Value is shades and tints of colors ......
Right ???????
It is wrong what you are explaining, adding black reduces its value and adding grey or white reduces its saturation.
‘Add white to the black to bring it to the same value as the cadmium red’ THAT is what I don’t get. I just don’t understand value. So grey and red are the same value because they’re neither black nor white? So they’re like a 5/10 value, 1 and 10 being black and white?
Also there is a dark yellow in nature - sunflowers? I’m not trying to be facetious I’m just annoyed at myself, I just don’t understaaaaaaand 😭

Came to comment section looking exactly for such comment.
