12 Lesson 3 - Perfect Color and Light, Each Time Part 1 - Perfect Color a P12 - 00:03顏色與光。?

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.?簡單介紹下電磁光譜和波長，簡單回顧下我們印象中和所見的多色變異性，創(chuàng)造完美和諧的數(shù)據(jù)上的十六代碼科學算法的依據(jù)，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和科學數(shù)學的關系？?

But can you imagine if we actually had to do that??能想象涉及到顏色，難以執(zhí)行的數(shù)學依據(jù)比如量子比如光軌嗎？！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，有人要求調節(jié)相似顏色，三合一顏色，我們不是這樣思考問題的。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正確的思維。?

我藝術總監(jiān)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.?我給你基本概念，至少學術術語是知道的，實際上你可以通過谷歌檢索可以獲得。So i'll give you the basics. So you at least have the terminology, but you can always Google this stuff really easily.?或者油管很多視頻都在講解顏色相關學術知識，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我講解的思路。?

What I want to teach you, though, is the practical application, the stuff that you won't get from these videos.?我們從色輪開始講起。But let's start with the color wheel. So here I have a color wheel,左側一個色輪，右側我再復制一個。?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改變飽和度。?

The first thing I'm going to do is change the saturation.?飽和度代表顏色的純度。So what saturation simply means is how pure the color is.?如果我移除飽和度，出現(xiàn)灰色So if I take away the saturation, then it's going to appear were grey.?慢慢的失去顏色剩下灰黑色。And then slowly and slowly and slowly it completely loses all of its color.?相反增加飽和度，顏色會逐漸恢復變得越來越強烈。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,?強烈到刺眼。and become so powerful that your eyes to start melting because of how bright it is. ?

P12 - 02:29亮色和暗色的區(qū)別？?

多亮色算亮，多暗色算暗色。After that, it is lightness or how light or dark the color is.?如果我關閉亮色，直到變的完全黑掉。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.?另一種相反的情況，逐漸變亮，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繪畫中亮色暗色的應用。?

So traditionally in painting, when you want to make a colored marker that was known as a shade,?如果你給不同顏色變暗，命名為陰影，涂抹上黑色，就慢慢的“變暗”，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?相反如果你讓顏色變亮，命名為“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.如果你不想讓顏色太純，可以加入灰色，命名為“色調”。?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.?大部分照片編輯和繪畫軟件使用“燈光”這詞，不用“上色或陰影”學術詞匯。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，?最好知道來源于哪里。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“陰影?著色?基調”用的比較少，反而是飽和度和亮度多一些。But rather we use the entire term of saturation and lightness. ?

P12 - 04:18回到色輪。?

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.?如同紅色，往上加上白色，往下加上黑色。And that would be monitored.?

P12 - 04:46顏色可加也可拆分。?

一分為二是熱似火的暖色，冷若冰的冷色調。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補充色。?

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,比如綠色對紅色，橘色對藍色。?

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.毗鄰四到六個顏色是相似色，比如?紅色橙色或者綠色藍色紫色，這些都是相似的顏色。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.?實際上，谷歌就可以搜索到。典型的三色互補和三色類似色，對下面的步驟用處不大。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我個人對互補色理解。?

對我個人，從未照著色盤和色理論去對號入座，F(xiàn)or 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.對我而言，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.第一位考慮到是我擅長如何用顏色。?

P12 - 06:33經(jīng)驗。?

教給你一些我學習顏色時候用的技巧。So I hope to be able to teach you the same tips and tricks that I kind of utilized when I was learning color.?開始前，探討下顏色的目標，Before we start that though, let's talk about the purpose of color, why we study it at all.?

P12 - 06:40學習顏色的目的？?

顏色像是鮮味增強劑。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漿和添加氣泡，你得到的是可口可樂。But you add things like high fructose corn syrup and you and Bubbles and bam, you'll get a coca.?

P12 - 06:59概念藝術比喻成披薩。?

顏色就像是餅的調料，加上調料，味道品嘗起來就很好。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.?但是你不能僅僅有醬汁沒有面餅皮，But you can't have just the sauce without the actual crust part.?類似的，就像做可口可樂沒有水不行的，如同肌肉沒有骨架是不行的。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總結顏色是味增劑。??

This means that color is a giant enhancer,?卻不是作品的本質，but it's usually not the main essence of the piece.?作品本質主要是黑白色閾值和合成，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構圖，我超喜歡，但是不在這里探討。?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實際應用？?

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?幫助我們鑒別那些顏色滿意的，哪些不滿意的。

P12 - 08:02?

意義顏色傳遞情緒，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.?不同顏色對應不同事情，Often times, however, we already associate different colours with different things.比如紅色對應的是生氣的?激情似火的?邪惡?或者愛情等等，?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.?黃色相關的是愉悅或友誼，陽光下各種愉快的感覺，或者也可以和危險警示聯(lián)系起來，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綠色相關的信息。?

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.?比如綠色撫慰人，讓人寧靜，平靜，同時生理上對人眼有好處。However, it can also be associated with sickness and disgust or even jealousy, which is why they say green with envy.?也和疾病嫉妒有關系。?

P12 - 09:08藍色相關的。?

Then with blue. We associate that with sadness or things like depression. But we also associate that with calm or peacefulness.藍色和悲哀?壓抑有關，也和平靜有關。?And of course things like the oceans in the sky and water.?

P12 - 09:27棕色相關的。?

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?骯臟和銹跡斑斑有關系，也可以和穩(wěn)定?舒適，熱巧咖啡?木屋有關系。?

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.?紫色罕見顏色，歸到要么紅黃色，要么紅藍色。?

P12 - 09:53總結。?

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.你可以看到顏色兩面性，傳遞好情緒，也傳遞壞情緒。?Essentially, colors are extremely versatile and are very flexible to fit your needs.顏色多面性非常靈活的滿足你的需求。?

P12 - 10:04問問自己的目標？?

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.?如果給動畫連續(xù)劇繪制，顏色要飽滿。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,?比如栩栩如生的顏色讓人目不轉睛的欣賞，比如粉色?霓虹色?飽和度高的藍色。

P12 - 10:27如果目標是游戲呢？?

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《最后一個》游戲風格中，需要低調灰色飽和度的。?

P12 - 10:55抽象畫風格。?

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《紀念碑谷》，顏色是明亮，飽和度極高的，最大飽和度或相反的光柱。 Are you trying to design something that is super sinister and monotone with barely any color at all? Whatsoever, like little nightmares, 或者你創(chuàng)建不祥氛圍，不用什么顏色，比如噩夢。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. 你有沒有具體的顏色選擇的信息。And also of the examples that we showed so far, each of these use color in a very specific way.我們用的顏色都是別具一格的，不是摻雜的。 So now let's dive into that a little bit more and discuss what colors we should use for when, 什么時候用什么色彩。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, 我展示的不是數(shù)學理論，是讓你的顏色如何栩栩如生。but I'm gonna show you how we see color in life. And how we can put that onto the canvas.
