Years of art schools and it’s a Warhammer painting video that explains colour theory to me, so clear and simple!

Been painting minis for about 26 years, been a tattooist for 15 years, know a fair but about colour theory, and this video was one of the most succinct I’ve ever seen. Definitely helped me out, cheers guys! <3

A really underrated but highly important topic for painting. Thank you for the video

I think one of the things that makes your videos so great is how applicable they are. As soon as you brought up 60, 30, 10, I started breaking down my own models colors and wondering at alternatives using the harmonies you guys suggested. It even helps a ton with settling on a color for my energy effect, even though they're the most rare effect found in my list.

Probably the most digestible video I've seen on the this topic. (At least in the mini-painting circle!) Clicked for me at the split complementary section!

Loving this series. It will be my go to link to explain colour theory to anyone who asks. Outstanding work guys.

Very useful for planning out army schemes. Thank you!

ya'll knock it out of the park with the past few vids please keep up the great work

This was a VERY useful video for me, as a person with no trap understanding of color theory. Thank you!

you got my sub when I heard the word "sangiat". love your vids, this is the best one so far.

After years youtubing color theory, I found the holy grail 😂😂 thx for this gem!

Guys you are legendary! I'm so glad that I've found you. 😍😁

dispite being mainly focused to people in the miniature painting hobby this video should legitimately be shown in schools. everything i learned in college about color theory was taught beautifully in this one video

Great channel and video! Just got into mini painting the past couple months and the technical stuff you two cover is very helpful

This is great i needed this like 8 years ago qwq

I used to use 4 colored harmony without knowing it, and then realized it didn't work for my marines (blood ravens chapter, red main, cream secondary, green for lenses, blue for lenses, plasma and power weapons). The thing is, i used blue color only for some details, but it still took away from the cohesiveness of the overall color scheme. When all 4 colors sre present, it gives a cartoony vibe. So I switched to a more strict color harmony, and played around with saturations to achieve the best contrast (darker red, paler cream, green for visors and lenses, no blue on regular models - yellow instead). I still use blue, but much colder shade and very sparingly - only for exotic materials (plasma and power weapons, pale blue). Even though I still ended up with same four colors, they give a completely different feel. Blue doesn't make them cartoonish, it kind of supposed to break the rules of color harmony due to energy weapons being exotic and foreign to the rest of their equipment. And I painted orks with more strict 3 colored harmony - and they looked kind of meh. Now I get it from this video - 4 color harmony would be more complementary for their esthetic and theme. When I painted Alpha Legion, it seems that I've finally learned my lesson - I used greenish blue anf crimson red (with some desaturated green, but only for stuff like wires - I decided to paint their logos with white). Green is kind of close to green-ish blue to create much contrast, but it makes sense for Chaos dudes to sort of lack the harmony. So overall, I think, that works good for the feel the army makes.

Absolutely mesmerizing! You guys are brilliant in your ability to make something hard to understand, understandable

Incredibly helpful video! 👌🏽🫡

You guys do knockout content. I love these videos for references.
