I think i'm with you on the more intuitive approach. However, I always think of the three attributes of a color being chroma, value and temperature. Saying that hue is an attribute of a color is like saying being red is an attribute of being red. Maybe I'm just being a fuss budget (oh dear, the last time I heard that word it came out of my mother's mouth) but I always think temperature gets short shrift in this system.<br /><br />Batten down the hatches up there Stape!Deborah Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242296435365350267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-89377282576622422052010-09-02T19:11:30.708-04:002010-09-02T19:11:30.708-04:00I am interested in your intuitive use of color.

I would rather know a few larger principles rather than Burnt Sienna plus Zinc White plus Cadmium Yellow makes X color.<br /><br />Are there "questions" that you are answering which help you choose which colors to mix together? For example, "Is the color I'm trying to mix cooler, duller, darker, etc." that would help you to choose, say, a Prussian blue over a Manganese Blue?

I use gray scales a lot in my studio painting.<br /><br />I have also used the Munsell system to mix up controlled palettes for paintings. I used the color chips from Munsell book to find the averages of an object. In my case it was a orange. I plotted all the averages from the lights to the shadows and mixed up strings.<br />The interesting thing about this approach is that it eliminates a lot of guess work.<br /><br />Frank Reilly based his palette on the Munsell system. There are a few painters out there who teach using this. Marvin Mattelson and Jack Farigasso. <br /><br />Mattelson has developed an interesting palette based on Reilly and Paxton. As an aside Mr. Paxton is one of my favorite American painters and highly underrated in the history of American painting.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03014751431677271423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-81845105074026772782010-09-02T09:28:54.726-04:002010-09-02T09:28:54.726-04:00Not sure if this will matter to anyone using "...Not sure if this will matter to anyone using "Photo Editors", but I know of at least a couple digital systems that use the term "Saturation" in place of what is referred to as "Chroma" here. So a fully-saturated hue would be a very intense color, yet might be dark or light in value. "Zero" saturation would indicate absolutely neutral gray/black/white. <br /><br />Maybe that will help make some sense of it for some.
