Description
I enjoyed making my last tutorial , so when I started musing about colour theory, I thought I'd give it another go. In the process, I learned that I know nothing about colour, and with a few exceptions , neither does anyone else.
Uncommissioned. Vector art.

As I say, Common sense is neither common nor a sense.
At least, I *think* I say that. I'm claiming it anyway, world!

Nice work. I did an entire year on colour theory alone and made dozens of colour wheels and colour charts. Nice layout and some genuinely helpful information.

Quite nice, tohugh you should clear up, for those who don't know, that RGB is for LIGHT, and the primaries for pigment colors use Blue, red, and yellow (or CMYK in printing). Though I guess that amy just confuse people more. Nice sheet though.

I covered that in as much detail as I could. I didn't want to get into a polemic about primary colours, so I kept it simple. A full version would take too much space .

Thanks! I spent a fair while mulling over what to write, and doing research to make sure I wasn't leaving anything major out. Glad to see it paid off.
