COLOR TEMPERATURE
Here’s a little art lesson since this is a concept I think more hobby artists should know about that I literally ONLY learned in a class: ahem,
color temperature is defined as quote “describes the appearance of light on a warm-to-cool spectrum, measured in degrees Kelvin (K)”
or in simpler terms wether a color’s undertone is cooler or warmer, wether it leans more towards blues or reds/yellows.
COOL TEMPERATURES ARE NOT GRAY. If you’re trying to excuse drawing a black person as just gray by saying “oh it’s just a gray undertone” you are also plain getting your color theory wrong! Nobody has a “gray undertone” what your thinking of is a color temperature that would be COOL which is more of a BLUE undertone,
EVERY SINGLE COLOR HAS A TEMPERATURE!!! There’s a warm blue and a cool blue, there’s a warm red and there’s a cool red, there’s a warm green and there’s a cool green. There’s a warm orange and a cool orange, there are warm browns and cool browns.
(if you’re not an artist reading this and you don’t already know the basics of the color wheel, reds oranges and yellows are warm colors and blues greens and purples are cool colors.)
correct me if I’ve worded any of this wrong, since I’m not one to speak on this sort of thing publicly, or speak on any controversies on that note,
but as an aspiring art student this whole thing just pissed me off so much so I thought I’d put this out there, correct me if I’m wrong and I hope this helps
