It was suggested by Steph at the Red Clay Diaries. It is so he can see the couples making purple in the dark. This Saturday he will be using this in his attempts to fight the love crazed zombie teens.Nick the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494956043889392219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476902858280070450.post-21424606808112235372009-02-19T00:17:00.000-08:002009-02-19T00:17:00.000-08:00Nick, you are ridiculously smart.

Does SYP have the special ability to see in the dark without looking a few feet above an object or is he only human in that aspect?Ryan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18271573611813499721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476902858280070450.post-24338341915872442602009-02-18T19:47:00.000-08:002009-02-18T19:47:00.000-08:00Thanks for the color wheel explanation.

Your understanding of color is pro...Not childlike. Your understanding of color is probably better than mine within the realm of pigments. I have to use a color wheel when I play with colors. I'm very technical in my mixing and coordinating. Just the way I work.<BR/><BR/>As for adding green to red for your shading color that is the old color wheel at work. A standard color wheel lays the colors out based on how they mix. Red is opposite green because blue and yellow make green. Mixing the two create a not black color that is perfect for dark shading on red or green objects because that is how it works in reality. This generally holds true for any color on the color wheel. By adding amounts of the opposite color you create darker shading with greater depth than just black would create.<BR/><BR/>BTW, as an artist that works with pigment you don't really need to know much about light mixing. I deal with both from printing (pigment) and light in both stage lighting and on screen graphics.Nick the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494956043889392219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476902858280070450.post-4546505656326750762009-02-18T19:10:00.000-08:002009-02-18T19:10:00.000-08:00Okay.

For instance, I know that if I paint a red ball and want to add depth and dimension, I need to add green with red to create a color for shading. Why do I need to do that, Nick?<BR/><BR/>P.S. - Come claim your prize over at smartypants.katdishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210738418270395622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476902858280070450.post-9365477153426013382009-02-18T18:45:00.000-08:002009-02-18T18:45:00.000-08:00You are right about pigment mixing, which is subtr...You are right about pigment mixing, which is subtractive mixing, but you are wrong about light mixing, which is additive mixing.<BR/><BR/>Pigments, like paint and such, start with Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow (Red Blue and Yellow are close enough for children) and then those blend into every color in the rainbow and then some. You get shades by mixing in black (actually not true black but close enough). This is called CMYK (k is black) color in graphic design and it is what printers use.<BR/><BR/>By mixing red and blue you get purple. This is because the pigment absorbs the other wavelengths and what gets reflected back is purple.<BR/><BR/>Now light mixing is based on red, blue, and green. Those are the primary colors of light. If you've ever seen an old projection TV you will remember the three lights are red, blue, and green. If you still have an old CRT you can put a drop of water on the screen and see the separate lights that mix to form the colors on the screen.<BR/><BR/>With this the total wavelength is added to to get the additional colors.<BR/><BR/>To help illustrate the difference if you take pigments and combine them you will get a darker color, but when working with light combining the colors will give you a lighter color. You can take 3 spot lights and put red, blue, and yellow gels on them. Then overlap them so that the center is white and the other colors blend into magenta, cyan, and yellow.<BR/><BR/>Hope that makes sense. I had to explain this to my college physics teacher because he kept confusing the two categories.Nick the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494956043889392219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476902858280070450.post-28376304166363663322009-02-18T14:18:00.000-08:002009-02-18T14:18:00.000-08:00I have a beef with your theory.

Black and white are also in the mix, but they are not colors persea. How does green get in over yellow? It hardly seems fair.katdishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210738418270395622noreply@blogger.com
