Another attempt to clear the conceptual confusion and consternation of colour with words that illuminate. From the previous post.
A butt-load of links incoming. Of the graphic design of the given gamut of colour.
First, where to start?
Of course, I recommend this video by captain disillusion to get oneself aquainted. It deserves recommending twice.
Munsel colour theory is a way to grapple with this. Here's a quick crash course of it on Twitter. We have to ask of how this colour theory relates to today. Here is David Brigg's explanation on his age-old sight regarding colour.
It was championed by conceptart.org, before it became a failed, excessivly paywalled project. David Briggs is still worth his salt.
1.
The graphic design here is for the realistic, and closest physical transcription of the thing in itself, whether it be study for a more imaginative work or a thing in itself. Plien air sketch or Alla prima.
2.
The artificial construction meant to resonate with the client or/and user of it. (Be it photographer and illustrator, anything visual.) The art is the graphic design in of itself. Of Crayola and the ketchup bottle, if you'd want to know more. Chip Kidd's book on graphic design will get you started, yet you'll have to purchase that.
These colours seek to grow in numbers and branding. The matter is in selling it through rhetoric and letting others gain the benefit of the doubt, to trust it. Who named them? Us using social constructs. See in it ordinary designed objects, and the belief, the placebo or nocebo it invokes. It follows through from there. Baby blue? Baby Pink? All a matter of construct.
(Note: It also helps to understand PMS, CMYK, RGB and Hex Colours)
Here's a sight for colour lover's and colour scenes, and adobe has a sight for colour to further visual relations
Bonus links, here is an explanation with simple maths. Layer's and their relation to digital colour relations.
There's this Colour Nerd's Tick Tock if you want an overload of colour theory for two hours. Peter Donahue with his free colour pdfs in his Link tree everybody! He does furry illustrations too. Best colour wheel on the taxonomy of the colours that are up-to-date. If you can't explain the taxonomy with the domain knowledge given, one ain't an expert.
To conclude, it's all about the relations when it comes to the colour! Both additive and subtractive mixing withstanding. Visualizing those relationships with those pictorial problems one needs to solve. Compared to this, compared to that.
Master the taxonomy of colour relations at the end-point of an illustration or graphic. Yay.
