  • @TwistedRealm
    @TwistedRealm Před 9 měsíci +2

    This is a good starting point, just keep in mind that not only do the colours themselves contribute to the composition and weight of an image, the inter-ratio of any colour to another further modifies this and is just as important.
    E.g. an image with 50% red and 50% green will just be jarring, you will lose the complementry effect.
    An image with 20% red (maybe its just a coat someone is wearing) against an 80% greens surround will establish the overall base of the image (dominance). The highlight or visual point of interest, the colour you are trying to elevate or draw attention to, will stand out more. Colour needs to be focused/targeted to get the impact you desire. Work your harmonies, but also think hard about what it is about each colour, that you want to promote or demote.
    The more colours you introduce, the more complex this ratio can get. This also holds true whether you are using highly saturate hues or muted colours.
    Putting a highly saturated subject that is 50% of your image against a muted complementry colour diminishes the jarring effect, so to just give you a bit more to consider, try to account for saturation too.
    Colours.
    Saturation.
    Harmonies.
    Ratios.
    How you mix these will determine whether you get the effect you want or not.
