I use this theory for my fluid paintings and I have never had such unbelievable contrasts that work so well. Thank you for sharing your color theory with us!

THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL I'VE EVER FOUND ON COLOR THEORY, AAA

I.. I just had a color theory revelation explained to me through beautiful turtles and copulation.
Exquisite.
To be honest the split complementary triad was the thing I paid the least attention to when learning about color in art class. Didn't realize it (or something similar) could be used like this. Whoops!

thank you for making this tutorial, I really appreciate it Β

I like how you follow a strict color scheme, I really need to start doing that
π: 0 β©: 0
A general rule I follow when remembering how to work with colors is that there's always most likely one to three dedicated ambient colors of the atmosphere. Warm colors for war climates such as interior rooms and sunlit beaches, cool colors for mountains, forests and other heavily shaded regions. Select your color based on how bright or calm it is. If it looks washed out, it's a calmer color. When shading or coloring for a realistic effect you will want a blue to darken as it goes away from light. A very good practice is to pick your colors, colors that compliment one another in hue, hue is what colors look great together almost as if they belong to one another. This is a trial and error thing and color wheels do a pretty great job of explaining how color spectrum works but it's a complicated concept to grasp as a beginner. I learned from watching what other artists do and trying my own thing. I make way more mistakes more often but, when I'm done with a piece it satisfies me and allows me to move to the next instead of dwelling on a concept too long. Art is about experience and time spent doing. You learn more from trying new twists on basic concepts, add little horns to a circle, add a circle to a circle and draw lines to merge them into an oblong shape to form a head and then just add little details such as eyes and noses.
This same practice can be applied to color, to make a great shade you will want a great base color and an idea of where you want to take it. As for stuff like pop art and vectors, just stick to flat color and maybe do the street artists approach of a little white line with a dash at the end to draw attention and make the design *POP*!

Yup! I can see artists doing that. Though, I really do like how when some designs leave the whole character in black and white and only colour the eyes with a vibrant blue or green (or red or yellow).

Same here, I really love highlighted segments on art pieces.

Love it! Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck, I'm so excited, but I just love it. Can't imagine how I needed something like this *^*
Thank you so much for taking the time for doing it, you're a very cool person :'D

I'll admit to favouriting this purely for the turtles, but what an interesting way of explaining it.
π: 0 β©: 0
This is so awesome but i donΒ΄t get it correctly. My colors never look like yours - they are all so similar. Your colors are totally diffrent ;__; Are there any tools in the internet which can help? I used this for the complementary and analogous colors. colorschemedesigner.com/ andΒ www.sessions.edu/color-calculaβ¦
Somebody really need to create an app for those turtles

Both website are really interesting. I think the second is better and fits more with the turtle concept.Β
About the color rendering, do not forget that I use a lot of adjustment layer like color balance, I think this is the reason why your color looks differently
π: 0 β©: 1
thank you very much for your fast answer 
Do you sometimes adjust individual colors too or always the whole pallette?
π: 0 β©: 1
All the palette, my adjustment layer are always on top of all the layers

Aww thank you so much Β
