Color Mixing… JUST PAINTPublished by Golden Artist Colors, Inc. / Issue 26 From Mark Golden Twenty-six issues of this technical newsletter and I am delighted to share we are still continuing the dialogue on color! After the success of Sarah Sands’ article on the ‘Subtleties of Color’ (JP 21), we recognized the value of continuing to provide more color resources for artists. The Tint & Glaze Poster was the first significant new tool for artists to come from this research. Following up on this work to create a printed color chart trying to represent real paint colors, Chris Farrell, our Creative Director and person in charge of putting together this chart, is our principle advocate that printing, no matter how carefully it’s done, cannot be a substitute Color for paint. In this issue, Chris shares the significant differences in ranges possible with commercial printing processes and Mixing… real paint.

  • Color Mixing Ratios
    Colour Mixing: Ratios Color Theory with Tracy Moreau Learn more at DecoArt’s Art For Everyone Learning Center www.tracymoreau.net Primary Colours In painting, the three primary colours are yellow, red, and blue. These colors cannot be created by mixing other colours. They are called primary because all other colours are derived from them. Mixing Primary Colours Creates Secondary Colours If you combine two primary colours you get a secondary colour. For example, red and blue make violet, yellow and red make orange, and blue and yellow make green. If you mix all of the primary colours together you get black. The Mixing Ratio for Primary Colours To get orange, you mix the primary colours red and yellow. The mixing ratio of these two colours determines which shade of orange you will get after mixing. For example, if you use more red than yellow you will get a reddish-orange. If you add more yellow than red you will get a yellowish-orange. Experiment with the shades you have to see what you can create. Try out different combinations and mixing ratios and keep a written record of your results so that you can mix the colours again for future paintings. www.tracymoreau.net Tertiary Colours By mixing a primary and a secondary colour or two secondary colours you get a tertiary colour. Tertiary colours such as blue-lilac, yellow-green, green-blue, orange-yellow, red-orange, and violet-red are all created by combining a primary and a secondary colour. The Mixing Ratios of Light and Dark Colours If you want to darken a colour, you only need to add a small amount of black or another dark colour.

Some of these have per- sisted throughout the centuries and are those which refer to the simple colors or ranges such as red or yellow. As the language developed, more and more color names were invented to describe the colors used by art and industry and in late years in the rapidly expanding field of sales promotion. Some of these refer to the pigment or dye used, as Ochre Red or Cochineal, or a geographical location of its source such as Naples Yellow or Byzantium. Later when it became clear that most colors are bought by or for women, many color names indicative of the beauties and wiles of the fan- sex were introduced, as French Nude, Heart’s Desire, Intimate Mood, or Vamp. Fanciful color names came into vogue such as Dream Fluff, Happy Day, Pearly Gates, and Wafted Feather. Do not suppose that these names are without economic importance for a dark reddish gray hat for Milady might be a best seller ; if advertised as Mauve Wine whereas it probably would not if the color were called Paris Mud.

  • Color Mixing Challenge
    COLOR MIXING CHALLENGE Target age group: any age Purpose of activity: to experiment with paint and discover color combinations that will make many different shades of the basic colors Materials needed: copies of the pattern page printed onto heavy card stock paper, small paint brushes, paper towels, paper plates to use as palettes (or half-sheets of card stock), a bowl of water to rinse brushes, acrylic paints in these colors: red, blue, yellow, and white (NOTE: Try to purchase the most “true” colors you can-- a royal blue, a true red, a medium yellow.) Time needed to complete activity: about 30 minutes (not including set-up and clean-up time) How to prepare: Copy (or print out) a pattern page for each student. Give each student a paper plate containing a marble-sized blob of red, blue, yellow and white. (Have a few spare plates available in case they run out of mixing space on their fi rst plate.) Also provide a paper towel and a bowl of rinse water. If a student runs out of a particular color of paint, give them a dab more. This will avoid wasting a lot of paint. (If you let the students fi ll their own paints, they will undoubtedly waste a lot of paint. In my experience, students almost always over-estimate how much paint they need.) What to do: It’s up to you (the adult in charge) how much instruction to give ahead of time. You may want to discuss color theory quite a bit, or you may want to emphasize the experimental nature of this activity and let the students discover color combinations for themselves.

  • Computational RYB Color Model and Its Applications
    IIEEJ Transactions on Image Electronics and Visual Computing Vol.5 No.2 (2017) -- Special Issue on Application-Based Image Processing Technologies -- Computational RYB Color Model and its Applications Junichi SUGITA† (Member), Tokiichiro TAKAHASHI†† (Member) †Tokyo Healthcare University, ††Tokyo Denki University/UEI Research <Summary> The red-yellow-blue (RYB) color model is a subtractive model based on pigment color mixing and is widely used in art education. In the RYB color model, red, yellow, and blue are defined as the primary colors. In this study, we apply this model to computers by formulating a conversion between the red-green-blue (RGB) and RYB color spaces. In addition, we present a class of compositing methods in the RYB color space. Moreover, we prescribe the appropriate uses of these compo- siting methods in different situations. By using RYB color compositing, paint-like compositing can be easily achieved. We also verified the effectiveness of our proposed method by using several experiments and demonstrated its application on the basis of RYB color compositing.

  • Subtractive Color Mixture Computation
    By Dennis Jarvis [CC BY-SA 2.0], via Wikimedia Commons (cropped) Subtractive Color Mixture Computation by Scott Allen Burns, Urbana, IL Published March 10, 2015; last updated May 3, 2015 Note: This is a PDF version of the web page http://scottburns.us/subtractive-color-mixture/ Overview I present an algorithm for computationally mixing screen colors (RGB colors) subtractively. The question it addresses is, "Given two colors specified by their RGB triplets, what RGB triplet should be used to represent the color that would arise if the two colors were mixed like paint colors, i.e., mixed subtractively?" The only way I can think of doing this in a rigorous way is to employ the math behind how a stimulus (a continuous spectral power distribution) enters our eyes and is transformed into a three-dimensional color sensation by our brain. Once this process has been adequately modeled, subtractive color mixture follows directly. The approach I present here is to convert the RGB colors to spectral reflectance curves, mix the curves using the weighted geometric mean, and then convert the result back to RGB. A Disclaimer The algorithm described here provides a representative model for subtractive color mixture. The way actual paints mix, for example, is highly dependent upon the particular pigments being used, as well as many other factors. Be aware that you can mix a blue and a yellow paint to get green in one case, and then mix another blue (that appears IDENTICAL to the first blue and has the same RGB value) and another yellow (appearing IDENTICAL to the first yellow, with the same RGB value) and get brown or some other color as a result! There is no way to differentiate between these two different outcomes based on the RGB values of the source colors.

Developed for birding classes at San Francisco City College. See <http://fog.ccsf.cc.ca.us/~jmorlan/> for course schedules and further information. The following dichotomous keys are designed to aid beginning and intermediate gull watchers. They will not resolve the identification of all gulls found on the West Coast. They are geared toward identification of our regularly occurring gull species from September through March and may not match features shown in spring and summer. Hybrid gulls, which are readily seen in some areas, are not addressed. Successful use of these keys first requires determination of the age of the bird. Some useful points to focus in aging gulls are given at the beginning of each key. Distinctive species, such as Bonaparte’s, Heermann’s and Sabine’s gulls and Black-legged Kittiwake are not included.
