Colour matching is more than finding the nearest shade.

Depth, warmth, brightness and undertones all influence the result.

Understanding why a colour looks wrong is how you learn to correct it.

The magic triad: base, shade and highlight from the SAME colour family. Three pots, one convincing sense of volume.

The 60-30-10 rule works on minis too: 60% dominant colour, 30% secondary, 10% accent. Instant balance.

Shadows aren't just darker. They're darker AND cooler AND less saturated. That's why pure black shading always looks flat.

A limited palette looks more cohesive than a rainbow. Pick three or four colours and let them repeat across the whole model.

Warm colours advance, cool colours recede. Use it to fake depth: warm highlights, cool shadows. Instant 3D.

Muddy mixes? You're probably mixing complementary colours, which grey each other out. Mix neighbours on the wheel, not opposites.

Want your colours to pop? Add a complementary accent. Orange lenses on a blue mini, purple shadows on yellow armour. Opposites sing.

I know naff all about colour theory, so some help from some artists would be great

If I were to put purple over a green/blue

Or green/blue over a faded purple/pink

What are results likely to be?

The blue in my hair is fading out to a very blegh greenish colour I am not a fan of

Another advantage of the purple shadow colour we're using is that it helps to balance the orange and keep the overall perceived mid-tone as red.

Anyway, back to Blood Angels. I'm using purple as a shadow colour because it will make the red 'pop' and look a lot brighter and more saturated than if we went straight from black to red. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings #colourtheory

#film #silentfilm #makeup #colourtheory I absolutely love this guy. He's so talented. This is the most comprehensive take on how colour reacted to orthochromatic film I've ever seen.
