• Special message -- I hope you will join us tomorrow, May 21, at 2 pm Eastern (check your time zone) for our monthly YouTube Chat. The topic is Hue Vs. Color! It's going to be an
eye-opener! The Chat will be recorded and available for you to watch on our YouTube Channel right after it is over. May is color month in our universe. In our YouTube chat and our monthly workshop, we're diving deep into things about color that folks struggle with. Let's check up on four of those with the following Pop Quiz. HAVE FUN WITH THIS POP QUIZ! Question 1: Which of the following names a hue? a. Magenta b. Cyan c. Orange d. Pink Question 2: Which of these colors is the most saturated. Question 3: Which three colors are analogous to each other? Question 4: Which one of these colors is a tertiary? Question 1: Which of the following names a hue? Answer: c-Orange. The others are color names, but not hue names. Only orange in this list names a hue name. Question 2: Which of these colors is the most saturated? Answer: b Question 3: Which three colors are analogous to each other? Answer: a, b, &
c Question 4: Which one of these colors is a tertiary? Answer: "a"-red violet: "b" is yellow, a primary; "c" is
green and "d" is orange, both secondaries. During the YouTube Chat tomorrow, I hope to help
bring awareness to what a difference it makes when we make use of this kind of knowledge about color. Too often we struggle with color mixing because we're not paying attention to what color does to color, either in mixing or when we place two colors next to each other. It's a funny thing, though it holds true every time, how just becoming aware changes how we see things! Enjoy a color-filled weekend! During my Language of Painting series, I explained the role of our visual elements. If you'd like to review those roles to better understand the behavior of elements, here are the links to each of those
discussions: Color --Value -- Shape -- Texture -- Size -- Line and Direction
