1
00:00:02,510 --> 00:00:06,860
And let's try to find a Hugh, let's try to go for kind of a gold.

2
00:00:07,810 --> 00:00:12,430
Hugh, we're going to move down here, it's going to be somewhere between orange and yellow is gold

3
00:00:12,430 --> 00:00:17,080
is somewhere between orange and yellow, and we're going to add a little bit of darkness to it.

4
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:19,750
But a little bit of gray is kind of how you find gold.

5
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:21,970
So right about here.

6
00:00:21,970 --> 00:00:25,510
So you notice it's got a little gray little little white, little black.

7
00:00:25,510 --> 00:00:28,300
So it's got a little tone tint shade all in there.

8
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:30,070
So it's kind of got this richness to it.

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,410
It's got if you look at the system like here, you could see it's got a little bit of everything.

10
00:00:34,420 --> 00:00:37,230
It's kind of got a nice equal ink.

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,220
So that's how you kind of get those more neutral colors is there's not one color that's dominant over

12
00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:42,640
the other.

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:48,100
They kind of all have a little bit of the different inks was going to click, OK, that's a nice gold

14
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:49,480
color that we picked right away.

15
00:00:49,780 --> 00:00:52,080
And let's build everything off of this.

16
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:54,970
So what we can do is do what we did before.

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,310
Add a little lightness.

18
00:00:59,910 --> 00:01:03,480
Is adding different do an white.

19
00:01:05,180 --> 00:01:08,480
This can go a little darker, so let's get our base to.

20
00:01:09,850 --> 00:01:11,240
And let's go a little darker.

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,100
So what we want to do is we want to find a really good pairing color.

22
00:01:15,130 --> 00:01:17,290
So what about we have a warm color already?

23
00:01:17,290 --> 00:01:18,190
What have we paired it with?

24
00:01:18,190 --> 00:01:19,000
A cooler color?

25
00:01:19,450 --> 00:01:22,090
What if we kind of got a blue?

26
00:01:22,330 --> 00:01:26,470
But let's do the same thing we did with the gold and add a little bit of gray, a little bit of light.

27
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,090
So we're kind of staying in the center just like we did before.

28
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:34,630
So both colors will have a similar profile where they have a little gray, white and black.

29
00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:40,300
Let's click on OK, so we have this nice kind of royal purple color and we can do different various

30
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:42,760
shades of this intense.

31
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:50,910
And like before, we don't have to use all of these in our main color palette, it's great to have secondary

32
00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:55,010
colors and options and off whites that we can use.

33
00:01:56,430 --> 00:02:00,080
So you could see how we can start to build a really nice color palette.

34
00:02:00,390 --> 00:02:05,820
So let's say we want to kind of stay softer, maybe eliminate these last two.

35
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,540
Maybe we make that a little softer.

36
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:11,860
But still, Dr..

37
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:19,590
There we go, so now we kind of have this nice, softer color palette and what's great about Adobe Illustrator,

38
00:02:19,590 --> 00:02:24,300
and you'll learn a lot about this when we focus on software, as I'm going to select this whole bottom

39
00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:28,290
row and let's say I'm not very happy with purple and gold.

40
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:31,740
Let's say I want to do grey and go up to edit.

41
00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:37,940
Edit colors, and I'm just going to convert to greyscale, and then now we have kind of a gray scale

42
00:02:37,940 --> 00:02:46,670
with the gold or you can go select all of these object or edit edit colors.

43
00:02:47,870 --> 00:02:51,500
And we're going to go to adjust color balance and click on Preview.

44
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,340
And you can kind of try out some different colors just to kind of see what could go really well and

45
00:02:58,340 --> 00:03:03,250
as I'm adding a little green to the blue, just a little bit, not much.

46
00:03:03,590 --> 00:03:10,550
I'm getting this wonderful blue softness here and I don't really like that color, but that's OK, because

47
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:14,900
we can drag this one over and take that color and add a little light to it.

48
00:03:15,140 --> 00:03:15,840
There we go.

49
00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:23,570
So that could be another really wonderful, soft, kind of elegant, high end color palette, so different

50
00:03:23,570 --> 00:03:26,150
from that super high contrast, bright, vivid color palette.

51
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,190
And you can repeat this over and over.

52
00:03:28,190 --> 00:03:30,230
So we have kind of these two bases.

53
00:03:30,530 --> 00:03:36,350
We can continue and do a couple other ones as well and find out, OK, we have gold, we have as blue.

54
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,370
We can double click here and find out what would go really well with here.

55
00:03:40,370 --> 00:03:46,010
I mean, obviously, pink would probably not be a good pairing with that, but we have kind of some

56
00:03:46,010 --> 00:03:49,520
warm tones, soft tones and kind of this blue.

57
00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:52,340
You know, it'd be nice to get something really neutral in there.

58
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,160
So maybe we can kind of try.

59
00:03:56,030 --> 00:03:57,980
And it could be as neutral as grey.

60
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:05,200
Right, so we can have gray with this color palette and we can have different shades and tones of gray,

61
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:08,850
if you ever want to do gray scale, it's all going to be on this left side.

62
00:04:08,860 --> 00:04:11,680
This is all gray sales of white to black.

63
00:04:12,940 --> 00:04:18,280
So you have these two strong colors and then do something neutral with it makes a little more sense

64
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,630
because when you start to get three really strong colors competing, it starts to be difficult.

65
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,510
So that's why I made this neutral instead of purple or yellow or green.

66
00:04:28,510 --> 00:04:32,750
None of those are going to really pair really well because you have such strong colors here.

67
00:04:33,580 --> 00:04:34,180
So there we go.

68
00:04:34,180 --> 00:04:35,740
There's kind of a more subtle color palette.

69
00:04:35,740 --> 00:04:42,870
So hopefully this exercise helps you kind of get into understanding how do you actually select the colors?

70
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,880
How do I start the basis of building a color palette?

71
00:04:46,570 --> 00:04:53,380
But understanding how to go lighter and darker and a different contrast is a big key until learning

72
00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:55,210
how to build color palettes.

73
00:04:55,910 --> 00:04:58,870
And I wanted to demonstrate how this works in Photoshop.

74
00:04:59,230 --> 00:05:03,310
So I have the color panel open and eager to learn all about this a little bit later when you get into

75
00:05:03,310 --> 00:05:05,020
the technical side of the software.

76
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,600
But this is kind of how instead of the huge cube, you have lots of different options and Photoshop

77
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,880
of how to display the color wheel.

78
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,530
So here's the huge cube.

79
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:17,400
This is what we did in Adobe Illustrator.

80
00:05:17,410 --> 00:05:19,540
So this will look very familiar to you.

81
00:05:19,540 --> 00:05:20,500
We just did all this.

82
00:05:20,860 --> 00:05:26,320
But you can also go down to the classic color wheel and that they just recently revamped this.

83
00:05:26,530 --> 00:05:28,720
Adobe has changed this in the last couple of years.

84
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,310
And now you have this triangle.

85
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:32,140
So same thing with the cube.

86
00:05:32,140 --> 00:05:39,910
We're adding white tent shade, black pepper hue to the right, and then you can change your hue by

87
00:05:39,910 --> 00:05:41,290
going around the color.

88
00:05:41,290 --> 00:05:44,830
Wills's is just a really nice handy color picture picker.

89
00:05:44,830 --> 00:05:48,820
You're going to also see this an affinity designer and affinity photo.

90
00:05:48,820 --> 00:05:53,180
They have a very similar triangle color wheel selection course.

91
00:05:53,290 --> 00:05:54,640
There's greyscale slider.

92
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,850
We can pick a color and and do the greyscale.

93
00:05:57,850 --> 00:06:03,790
There's a lot of different options here to explore, but I mostly use the hue cube and the color wheel.

94
00:06:03,790 --> 00:06:09,820
Those are going to be the two that we're going to use the most in graphic design and in design projects.

95
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,810
But I wanted to show you that as an option, you can always change that in Adobe Photoshop or Affinity

96
00:06:16,810 --> 00:06:18,550
Designer or affinity photo.
