Description
This deviation belongs to me, HOWEVER this is only a compilation of my research so far - not any of my own knowledge.Possibly better viewed by pressing the download button.
Hey guys, you know i said i want to study Colour Theory?
Well heres' my first sheet of research, mostly from an old Imagine FX workshop from October 2006, however i wanted to put it down in simpler way so that i could understand it, so i don't take any credit for whats written here.
Thought i'd upload it just encase anyone else finds it useful,
EDIT: As someone stated, i had put the primary colours used for a traditional medium, however the primary colours used more in digital art are obviously the RGB (Red , Blue , Green)
[If you have any knowledge of colour theory and would like to share it with me please lemme know and i'll put it into my next deviation, thanks!]

Please.. someone can help me? I'm very confused.. everyone and even in Japanese magazines they talk about a scheme color and how to pick up colors that match each others... but still i don't understand how to picking colors, based to that color weel...
I read this tutorial, but I have just confusion of colors and nothing else.
I'm doing a drawing and now finished lineart, I need to choose colors. I'm starting from the brown of hair.. but I still don't understand what colors match with brown better... there's tertiary colors, double color, 4 colors in the color weel... but how to actually use ? I dont even seen the brown I want in the color scheme, how can I know how to count to get the colors that match?
I 've read this (it says 'be careful to select colors that match your brown"--- yes.. but how?

They explain about tertiary color, etc but still when I come to color my own drawing... I can't understand what color take . All that I know is that Ive decided the color of hair (light brown). All the rest, I dont have idea how to picking up the correct colors that give the drawing a nice coloring (because the perfect colors calculation before choose a color. I dont want to use casual colors)... I'm so confused...
See how they choose perfect colors?

Your triadic color wheel looks to have four colors showing, not three.
Other than that, though, very well-done tutorial.

Aren't the additive system's (light based, and so, the ones used for digital art) primary colours meant to be red, green and blue?
