12 Lesson 3 - Perfect Color and Light, Each Time Part 1 - Perfect Color a P12 - 00:03颜色与光。 

Hello there. I am professor Pan, and welcome to the first lecture of color theory 101. A brief look into the electromagnetic spectrum and wave length. 简单介绍下电磁光谱和波长，简单回顾下我们印象中和所见的多色变异性，创造完美和谐的数据上的十六代码科学算法的依据，When we look into all the various polychromatic variables within our visible light and memorize, mathematical hex codes to understand the scientific algorithms that create the most perfect harmony in our picture. I'm just kidding.  

P12 - 00:31和科学数学的关系？ 

But can you imagine if we actually had to do that? 能想象涉及到颜色，难以执行的数学依据比如量子比如光轨吗？！So when it comes to color, it can be incredibly detailed and difficult subject with lots of math and science stuff about photons and light ways. 更有甚者，有人要求调节相似颜色，三合一颜色，我们不是这样思考问题的。And typically you will always learn things such as, oh, if you put these color expects to each other than their analogous or if you put these colors next to each other in a triangle, then there triadic. I've seen people teach this all the time, but I personally never learnt this way. 

P12 - 01:00正确的思维。 

我艺术总监不要求我三色，但是不代表某天用不上。my art directors have never asked me for a triadic color environment design, doesn't mean it won't happen one day. 但是用上的概率不大。But usually if you're painting nature is such that you really won't see this occurring very much. 我给你基本概念，至少学术术语是知道的，实际上你可以通过谷歌检索可以获得。So i'll give you the basics. So you at least have the terminology, but you can always Google this stuff really easily. 或者油管很多视频都在讲解颜色相关学术知识，唾手可及。In fact, there's so many amazing YouTube videos out there where they actually just talk about this topic on how to categorize colors and color theory and just the specific terminology.  

P12 - 01:31我讲解的思路。 

What I want to teach you, though, is the practical application, the stuff that you won't get from these videos. 我们从色轮开始讲起。But let's start with the color wheel. So here I have a color wheel,左侧一个色轮，右侧我再复制一个。 but I'm going to make an exact replica on the right so that you can compare and contrast what the differences are. 

P12 - 01:57改变饱和度。 

The first thing I'm going to do is change the saturation. 饱和度代表颜色的纯度。So what saturation simply means is how pure the color is. 如果我移除饱和度，出现灰色So if I take away the saturation, then it's going to appear were grey. 慢慢的失去颜色剩下灰黑色。And then slowly and slowly and slowly it completely loses all of its color. 相反增加饱和度，颜色会逐渐恢复变得越来越强烈。And if we increase the saturation, then the opposite happens slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly. The color comes back and it becomes stronger than ever before, 强烈到刺眼。and become so powerful that your eyes to start melting because of how bright it is.  

P12 - 02:29亮色和暗色的区别？ 

多亮色算亮，多暗色算暗色。After that, it is lightness or how light or dark the color is. 如果我关闭亮色，直到变的完全黑掉。So if I turn down the lightness, then all the colors slowly become darker and darker, and darker and darker until they become completely black. 另一种相反的情况，逐渐变亮，直到消失成白色。And if I increase the lightness, the opposite happens. It goes later and later and later. Until you just see this pass down. And then it kind of just completely fades away into the screen.  

P12 - 02:59绘画中亮色暗色的应用。 

So traditionally in painting, when you want to make a colored marker that was known as a shade, 如果你给不同颜色变暗，命名为阴影，涂抹上黑色，就慢慢的“变暗”，where you mix the color with black, so that slowly and slowly becomes darker and darker and darker. And then if you want to do the opposite and 相反如果你让颜色变亮，命名为“上色”。make it lighter, then that would be known as a tint. Or you add white to the color and it becomes lighter and lighter and lighter.如果你不想让颜色太纯，可以加入灰色，命名为“色调”。 And then technically for saturation, if you don't want the color to be as pure as it is, then you would add great to it in order to grab a tone, so that it becomes more gray and more gray and more gray, but now was advancing technology. 大部分照片编辑和绘画软件使用“灯光”这词，不用“上色或阴影”学术词汇。Most photo editing and painting software simply use the word lightness. They don't really use the words tints or shades anymore.  

P12 - 03:44最好知道， 最好知道来源于哪里。But it's still good to know where these things came from. In fact, typically when you look at your photo editing software, you ll find a tag more like this. Or you can change the saturation of how bright the colors are. As you can see, if I go all the way down here, then it becomes completely grey. And if you want the color to be lighter, then they'll the entire screen lighter one darker, it will turn everything darker. So we don't really use the terms shads or tints or tones anymore. 所以“阴影 着色 基调”用的比较少，反而是饱和度和亮度多一些。But rather we use the entire term of saturation and lightness.  

P12 - 04:18回到色轮。 

Now let's go back to our color wheel here and say that you take this red and you only paint and add whites, or you paint and add blacks, which simply means that you're only adjusting the lightness of the spread. In that case, then you will get a monotone palate, were simply red is in the middle color here. Then all is adding white, and down is adding black. 如同红色，往上加上白色，往下加上黑色。And that would be monitored. 

P12 - 04:46颜色可加也可拆分。 

一分为二是热似火的暖色，冷若冰的冷色调。after that. You can divide the color wheel typically into 1/2, like so, where this is all warmed colors, so warm, and then these, it’s all cool colors. So cool. Think of like a fire, which is going to be yellow is a very poorly drawn fire. Or think of like an ice cube or water or it's cold. This is kind of the idea of it. 

P12 - 05:21补充色。 

Now if you take one color and you go to the opposite spectrum, typically you’ll see that with yellow versus purple. like this here, and this is known as complementary colors, typically you will see that with yellow versus purple or green versus red and orange versus blue,比如绿色对红色，橘色对蓝色。 

P12 - 05:26相似色。 

if you have a color that only six to its close buddies like so, like kind of like this, typically three or they take like four colors on the wheel, then that would be known as analogous colors.  So you'll see that they usually find it very closely to the color wheel.毗邻四到六个颜色是相似色，比如 红色橙色或者绿色蓝色紫色，这些都是相似的颜色。And you'll see either like red with orange with yellow or green with green and blue or blue and purple. So those would be analogous colors. And you can get increasingly more complicated. 实际上，谷歌就可以搜索到。典型的三色互补和三色类似色，对下面的步骤用处不大。But to be honest, after this point, it's really easily a Google click away. And truthfully, things like triadic and triadic complimentary, those are not really necessary, for the next few steps. 

 

P12 - 06:10我个人对互补色理解。 

对我个人，从未照着色盘和色理论去对号入座，For me personally, I really never understood learning color with charts and theory， because to me, color was something that I learned by doing by experimenting. I was able to find out what worked and what didn't.对我而言，只有奏效的，不奏效的。 That's for me was the number one factor of how I personally got good at color.第一位考虑到是我擅长如何用颜色。 

P12 - 06:33经验。 

教给你一些我学习颜色时候用的技巧。So I hope to be able to teach you the same tips and tricks that I kind of utilized when I was learning color. 开始前，探讨下颜色的目标，Before we start that though, let's talk about the purpose of color, why we study it at all. 

P12 - 06:40学习颜色的目的？ 

颜色像是鲜味增强剂。Because color is like a giant flavor enhancer. For example, if you drink water, which I hope you do, that's really important. 比如水里加入高果糖玉米糖浆和添加气泡，你得到的是可口可乐。But you add things like high fructose corn syrup and you and Bubbles and bam, you'll get a coca. 

P12 - 06:59概念艺术比喻成披萨。 

颜色就像是饼的调料，加上调料，味道品尝起来就很好。Or in our concept, our pizza color would be the source, because it makes the crust that you made tastes so good. the crust doesn't taste that good just by itself. Like, i'll just eat bread. I'm happy to eat bread, but with the sauce so much better. 但是你不能仅仅有酱汁没有面饼皮，But you can't have just the sauce without the actual crust part. 类似的，就像做可口可乐没有水不行的，如同肌肉没有骨架是不行的。Just like you can't have a coca without the actual water park or you can't have muscles. If there's no skeleton to wrap it around.  

P12 - 07:29总结颜色是味增剂。  

This means that color is a giant enhancer, 却不是作品的本质，but it's usually not the main essence of the piece. 作品本质主要是黑白色阈值和合成，The main essence of your piece will always remain to be black and white values and composition,除非你想做抽象色彩的构图，我超喜欢，但是不在这里探讨。 unless you're trying to do super abstract fine art, Which totally cool with me. But it's not what I'm teaching right here.  



P12 - 07:50实际应用？ 

However, let's be real here is that the fun stuff is color. It helps us to biologically differentiate between what different objects are and also what is satisfying and what isn’t?帮助我们鉴别那些颜色满意的，哪些不满意的。

P12 - 08:02 

意义颜色传递情绪，So we put a collar on our paintings to number one. We let our audience know what the color of the actual object is. And it's also to bring a mood to our piece. 不同颜色对应不同事情，Often times, however, we already associate different colours with different things.比如红色对应的是生气的 激情似火的 邪恶 或者爱情等等， For example, with red, we'd like to associate that with anger or we associate with like fire and with evil or we associate with love. 黄色相关的是愉悦或友谊，阳光下各种愉快的感觉，或者也可以和危险警示联系起来，And then with yellow we associate that with joy and friendship, sunlight, all kinds of happy feelings or we can also associate it with danger and caution. 

P12 - 08:40绿色相关的信息。 

next we have green. Green usually amongst something about soothing peace and nature. It also represents things like harmony. And supposedly according to scientists, looking at green is really healthy for your eyes, apparently. 比如绿色抚慰人，让人宁静，平静，同时生理上对人眼有好处。However, it can also be associated with sickness and disgust or even jealousy, which is why they say green with envy. 也和疾病嫉妒有关系。 

P12 - 09:08蓝色相关的。 

Then with blue. We associate that with sadness or things like depression. But we also associate that with calm or peacefulness.蓝色和悲哀 压抑有关，也和平静有关。 And of course things like the oceans in the sky and water. 

P12 - 09:27棕色相关的。 

Then with brown, we associate that with things like mud and dirt and rust, and also associated with stability and coziness, like hot coffee or chocolate or a beautiful wooden house. 和泥土 肮脏和锈迹斑斑有关系，也可以和稳定 舒适，热巧咖啡 木屋有关系。 

P12 - 09:38紫色和橙色。 

And no, I did not forget purple and orange. It's just that they're more rare colors, and it's also far easier to categorize them with either red and yellow, or red and blue. 紫色罕见颜色，归到要么红黄色，要么红蓝色。 

P12 - 09:53总结。 

By now you've probably noticed that there is a dichotomy with all the colors, where there's a good side to them. And there's also a very bad side to them.你可以看到颜色两面性，传递好情绪，也传递坏情绪。 Essentially, colors are extremely versatile and are very flexible to fit your needs.颜色多面性非常灵活的满足你的需求。 

P12 - 10:04问问自己的目标？ 

But before anything else, you should ask yourself, what kind of project are you painting for? Are you painting for feature film animation? In that case? Typically your colors will be a lot more saturated. 如果给动画连续剧绘制，颜色要饱满。You're going to be more vibrant. And you can get really crazy with colors, like beautiful pinks and neons and saturated blues. And no one will bat an eye, 比如栩栩如生的颜色让人目不转睛的欣赏，比如粉色 霓虹色 饱和度高的蓝色。

P12 - 10:27如果目标是游戏呢？ 

or are you going for a very serious video game? Like last of us two, then you're gonna wanna use a very muted color palette. Pink and purple would look really strange in this environment. And even if you make something very saturated, you should keep it in very low. What's even the blood on the main character? Alice’s face is barely like red. 比如《最后一个》游戏风格中，需要低调灰色饱和度的。 

P12 - 10:55抽象画风格。 

Now let's go to the other extreme. And are you going for something more abstract?  Like monument valley, where the color is bright and peppy and super saturated, like max saturation or the opposite of the spectrum?比如《纪念碑谷》，颜色是明亮，饱和度极高的，最大饱和度或相反的光柱。 Are you trying to design something that is super sinister and monotone with barely any color at all? Whatsoever, like little nightmares, 或者你创建不祥氛围，不用什么颜色，比如噩梦。you should ask yourself this question first and see if you have a very specific message that you want to send with your color choices. 你有没有具体的颜色选择的信息。And also of the examples that we showed so far, each of these use color in a very specific way.我们用的颜色都是别具一格的，不是掺杂的。 So now let's dive into that a little bit more and discuss what colors we should use for when, 什么时候用什么色彩。and also tips and tricks to get the exact color you want. I'm gonna teach you not about color theory or the mathematics of color theory, 我展示的不是数学理论，是让你的颜色如何栩栩如生。but I'm gonna show you how we see color in life. And how we can put that onto the canvas.
