my main source was James Gurney’s Color and Light book, which explains the different schemes one may have, color harmonies, etc. Gurney’s book is a great starting point, as well as review, for learning color theory.

However, through the actual conduct of painting and using colors, I discovered that there is essentially an infinite number of color schemes via variations in hue, saturation, and value that can help you produce different color schemes than the ones found in books. The textbook color scheme, for lack of a better phrase, is a great foundation to learn the basics of color harmony, with complementary, analogous, etc. (I forget the rest lmao sorry)

Besides Gurney, it helps to do studies of artists who use colors that you really dig, or at least just stare at their art for hours on end, like I do (sob i miss u jc leyendecker) in an attempt to retain their use of color.

one more thing: I have said quite frequently the merits of learning and executing good values in order to maintain really good color, but one thing I didn’t mention was that colors, in their purer state (I have no clue if there’s an actual term for what I mean, but let’s just go with that), even with the same value, can appear either darker or lighter than others. Think about it as light. A red light appears darker than a green light, even though they emit the same.. uh power? watt level? (I’m so sorry I’m dead af tired chances are I’ll wake tomorrow and see a post full of complete horse shoe) so make sure to observe very carefully how colors appear in relation to others. 

here, check it:

above is red and green at their highest saturation. also same value level! no srsly.. it’s the same :D

(I swear I wouldn’t play yall like that lmao)

but you can see that the green pops more. red’s dark af, p sure it’s got sometin to do with the electromagnetic spectrum and waves or some shit, but what do I know huh 

Examples: red green, orange blue, yellow purple, o but guess what, orange is a variation of red. orange green. boom there ya go so I try not to stick to basic color schemes like that. I think it’s best to be more general, like having warm with cool colors, instead of just yellow and purple. things like that. also gradient s are your frined

Gurney’s book covers this better than I do, of course, so I rec you to go ahead and read up :) 

and hey!! illustration majorrr same same
