1 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:11,420 I am an Adobe illustrator, and I'm going to demonstrate some ways you can practically create different 2 00:00:11,420 --> 00:00:12,210 color palettes. 3 00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:17,480 And so first, we need to go back and understand our tent and shade and also our tone. 4 00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:22,450 But how do we create that using the color options in design software? 5 00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:25,190 That's exactly what this lesson is going to be about. 6 00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:30,500 So we're starting off with this white, simple swatch and we're going to go ahead and highlighted and 7 00:00:30,550 --> 00:00:33,820 you're going to notice you have your color panel and it's going to be all white. 8 00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:38,530 So we want to do is double click on our swatch, double click it, and you're going to get this panel. 9 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,380 And what this is called is a huge cube. 10 00:00:41,660 --> 00:00:42,980 So we studied before. 11 00:00:42,980 --> 00:00:46,420 The different hues and hues are solid colors. 12 00:00:46,430 --> 00:00:49,730 They don't have any white or gray or black in them. 13 00:00:49,730 --> 00:00:51,220 They're just pure colors. 14 00:00:51,710 --> 00:00:56,840 So what happens in the cube is in the upper right is a pure hue. 15 00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:58,850 So that's going to be pure blue. 16 00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:04,940 When we go over to the left, it's going to slowly add a little bit of tint so you can see how it's 17 00:01:04,940 --> 00:01:07,070 adding a little bit of tint, which is white. 18 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,880 So we're adding white to the hue to get different variations of the hue. 19 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,660 So you'd go all the way over here to get pure white or all the way over to get the pure hue and somewhere 20 00:01:17,660 --> 00:01:21,620 in between to get kind of these lighter tents. 21 00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:24,470 So the same thing with Shade Shade is going to be down here. 22 00:01:24,470 --> 00:01:25,700 So here's a pure hue. 23 00:01:26,030 --> 00:01:27,840 We're going to move our way all the way down. 24 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,340 It's going to get darker and darker as we add more shade, which is black. 25 00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:37,100 So we're adding more black to this until we get to pure black all the way down to the bottom. 26 00:01:37,970 --> 00:01:40,730 And same thing goes for tones. 27 00:01:40,850 --> 00:01:42,800 So as we know, tone is a hue. 28 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,810 But with gray added, instead of black or white, we're going to go diagonally down and it's going to 29 00:01:47,810 --> 00:01:53,120 slowly add a little bit of gray as we move down the Hue Cube. 30 00:01:53,950 --> 00:02:00,760 All the way down here, it's going to go all the way back to pure black who have white, black, pure 31 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,390 hue and all the way down here. 32 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,260 So that's basically how this works. 33 00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:10,600 This is a very common way to pick colors and the dobe software, but also affinity designer and a lot 34 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,190 of other different design softwares. 35 00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:16,410 You're going to see very similar setups with having to pick your color. 36 00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:21,190 So understanding how to kind of pick colors within this huge cube is very important when you're putting 37 00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:25,610 together your color palettes and you'll know how to create a lot of different things. 38 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,870 So we're going to do a little bit of an example here. 39 00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:33,580 We're going to create a monochromatic color scheme here, color palette. 40 00:02:34,060 --> 00:02:38,010 So let's go ahead and pick a pure new color for this example. 41 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,970 So let's double click or Swatch. 42 00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:43,630 And to get a pure hue, we're going to go to the upper right. 43 00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:46,480 Of course, you can do the slider and pick any hue. 44 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,940 This is all pure hues is in the upper right. 45 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,310 We could pick any color we want to go with. 46 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,690 So let's kind of go with. 47 00:02:53,430 --> 00:03:00,900 A blue color, we can always go to color swatches and pick out a perfect sea and white, yellow, red, 48 00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:07,920 green or cyan here as well, but we're just going to stick to a blue color all the way to the upper 49 00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:08,250 right. 50 00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:11,640 So this is going to be a pure hue that we're picking out. 51 00:03:12,090 --> 00:03:16,470 And so now what we're going to do is we're going to just duplicate this slide to the left. 52 00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:22,260 And we're just going to double click this and we're going to slowly move and add a little bit of tint, 53 00:03:22,290 --> 00:03:25,310 which is white, there's going to do that along the way. 54 00:03:28,010 --> 00:03:32,060 Slowly moving this down the way, and he could see a nice. 55 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,000 Pallette. 56 00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:42,200 Developing and then we can do one more and we could do almost pure white, maybe leave a little bit 57 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,010 of hue in there. 58 00:03:44,030 --> 00:03:51,770 And so right now we have this nice, monochromatic all derived from a single hue and just added a little 59 00:03:51,770 --> 00:03:51,910 bit. 60 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:52,630 Attend to it. 61 00:03:52,940 --> 00:03:56,540 Now we can go the other way so we can go ahead and drag this over. 62 00:03:57,230 --> 00:04:03,050 And now we're going do the opposite and we're going to add a little bit of shade just going down to 63 00:04:03,050 --> 00:04:03,500 the bottom. 64 00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:03,890 Right. 65 00:04:04,430 --> 00:04:09,110 Once you kind of understand how all this works, you'll be able to pick colors pretty easily once you 66 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:16,580 understand, you know, huge shade tents and kind of how adding black and how adding white can really 67 00:04:16,580 --> 00:04:24,290 change the aspect of a color or a hue in this case all the way down to pretty dark color. 68 00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:26,810 Let's go ahead and just aligning those right here. 69 00:04:26,810 --> 00:04:28,940 So we have tent over here. 70 00:04:28,940 --> 00:04:29,900 We have shade over here. 71 00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:31,970 We have the pure hue right here in the middle. 72 00:04:32,630 --> 00:04:34,430 It's kind of the basics of how this works. 73 00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:36,170 So we're going to do something a little different. 74 00:04:36,180 --> 00:04:37,280 We're going to drag this down. 75 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:40,910 So we're taking our peer hue and we're going to add a little gray to it this time. 76 00:04:40,910 --> 00:04:42,530 So we're adding a little bit of tone. 77 00:04:43,010 --> 00:04:44,270 So adding a little gray. 78 00:04:53,860 --> 00:05:00,490 All the way down and kind of see how this is working, so we have the gray added, we have the white 79 00:05:00,490 --> 00:05:05,230 added, we have the black added, you could see how we can develop quite an array of monochromatic colors 80 00:05:05,530 --> 00:05:07,210 from these three different aspects. 81 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,400 So let's do one more thing. 82 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,360 Let's drag it up. 83 00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:12,740 And now we're to do something a little different. 84 00:05:13,030 --> 00:05:17,680 So now we're going to go up our huge selection and we're going to slowly change and shift the hue. 85 00:05:17,980 --> 00:05:21,940 So we're going to move this down just a little bit, maybe add a little green. 86 00:05:26,430 --> 00:05:30,750 So this is kind of a new level or you selection. 87 00:05:33,540 --> 00:05:39,420 So now maybe all this makes sense, all this heat is where do you go or do you select the color so we 88 00:05:39,420 --> 00:05:46,340 change the hue color here and the tent and the shade and then the tone added gray to it. 89 00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:51,720 So that's kind of how the basics of how this color, hue or hue cube works. 90 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,810 When you double click this UCU, this is default on Adobe Illustrator. 91 00:05:55,020 --> 00:05:58,620 You can have it on Adobe Photoshop, you can have it on any design program. 92 00:05:58,830 --> 00:06:00,430 You're going to see this kind of YouTube. 93 00:06:00,430 --> 00:06:06,930 And now you know why and when to go and what direction and when to kind of use some of these tabs and 94 00:06:06,930 --> 00:06:07,390 everything. 95 00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:12,330 So once we get into practical projects, I do a lot of practical project works with color. 96 00:06:12,570 --> 00:06:14,130 We're going to be kind of going over this. 97 00:06:14,130 --> 00:06:16,680 But now you understand, you know what direction to go. 98 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,900 It can be a little bit confusing at first to go, OK, well, now how do I, you know, add shade? 99 00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:24,500 How do I attent what what does that matter? 100 00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:29,370 So we're going to take this and another we're going to go in another step forward and we're going to 101 00:06:29,370 --> 00:06:35,190 be creating some basic color palettes and we're going to derive it all from one single huge selection.
