2nd block, number 2. set of colors i think you left out a word. your sentence is inomplete
"typically doesn't become very saturated, instead it gets"... it gets what? unsaturated 
anyways this is neat

This is very good, I like how you added the black and white colors in the first part, most people would consider them way different from red colors and forget that they are shades of red, just REALLY desated.

this is great (even though I don't paint XD), but it seems that in the second part, where you are talking about undertones, you didn't finish the sentence about cool undertones: "Typically it doesn't become very saturated, instead it gets" isn't there something missing? ^__^

Very nice. The way you provide the color variation examples reminds me of the way I mix acrylics by blending them. I’d never thought to approach digital art the same way.

how did you pick those colours on the top row?? theyre awesome

sorry, i cant even speak my first language xD i mean the section where your talking about the definition of undertones, hue and saturation, those colours would look so harmonious on a painting so i was wondering how you achieved those type of colours xD

The 'skin' ish colours? It's actually an orange-red. All I did was change the saturation, or make it lighter/darker.

Use BLACK for the fonts, PLEASE... =='a
It'll be much better... XD

Oh, sorry! On my computers screen it's easy to see. Will change, thanks.

Well, I think it's nice done, but white on a bright color isn't easy to read...
