Thank you for doing this. I've been confused about this stuff since highschool, and it wasn't explained very well in college. (I was distracted by the smell of cigars on my teachers breath as well as halitosis....which made me want to die, not learn.) I've just gone through all 4 parts. THANK YOU!!!! My god, I'm going to try to set up some stuff using what I've learned. Half the time it isn't learning new things that is the problem, it is breaking old habits. Thank you again. lol

I didn't even learn most of this in highschool, I just do alot of at home study.. aswell as watching the decorating shows on HGTV. Funny thing is, is that I'm just going into grade 11 too. Thanks for being so eager to learn.

Really? Impressive. Yeah, half the time I'm thinking that I could have got my college education out of books and the internet now. Sadly, I didn't figure this out until after college. >.<
But hey, learning never stops. You can only go forward. ^_^ Keep up the good work!

*twitch* damn my color theory roots. It's violet, not purple. Purple is what we call indigo.

Don't worry, I do know the difference, but purple is just easier to say sometimes. xD

This is excellent! Thanks for taking time to make this series of tutorials.

Really great tutorial! I hope you don't mind if I point out one thing though: when you mix colors like that (like red-orange or yellow-green), the primary color is always the first color named. So instead of green-blue or orange-yellow, it would be blue-green and yellow-orange. Otherwise, fantastic work and thanks!

Also, unsaturated is the same thing as saying desaturated.
