EDIT: Double-size version for people with super-duper-high-res monitors here: April2020 Part1 Doublesize

Color theory is a weird thing. Also, a theory. But probably also a science?
I at least haven't heard of something called "color science" before, but that might also be because I'm living under a rock sometimes.

There was an interesting video from Technology Connections recently on how the color "brown" does not actually exist. And while the use of the word "exists" might be a bit far-fetched there, the guy does bring up some pretty good points about how we identify colors as what they are, and how that is often heavily influenced by context.

I always enjoy thinking back to my old teachers who claimed that the opposite of "colorful" would be "uncolorful", rather than "monochrome". Only much later did I realize what exactly they meant by that, and how much it can affect our perception of a picture.

Needless to say, my art became a lot easier to look at after that.
