Hi guys,

what do you think about this color palette?

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/180 … .50.08.png

Do you think that I have complied with the color palette?

Yellow doesn't go with green. It's a killer of your eyes.

And your forgetting that RGB color wheel not real color wheel. RGB complimentary colors cancel each other only in RGB world. In real life colors are different.

If you have triad, you should remove other colors, which you didn't. Green, red and blue would be your palette.

PS. Overlay you put on model face, you didn't mask it completely.

umm, i have a less technical comment. Since it has a dreamy feel maybe lighten the body a bit too and remove some magenta (just try that one first and try to match the face to the body) on the body a couple of points to match the face perhaps. I like the work you kept the shape and didn't over retouch, nice job.

Since you're lacking anything cyan, it looks more like you came up with an analogous color scheme rather than the triad color scheme you customized in the kuler pallet. The image's color scheme looks pretty fitting considering the content of the image.

Well for the skin I've use the gradient map with the 2 brown color in the pics (Kuler palette)

Wow, there is some artistic approach. It is your call, but I am not a fan of bringing something that wasn't there. It's time consuming.

Originally you had only 3 colors on image with little bit parasitic cyan.

Right now you have four colors

Where green and yellow doesn't work with each other, because they have luminosity contrast. One of them would look dirty.

It is actually a real color wheel and it's the color model used by nearly every screen manufactured in the last several decades, is the model used in bayer color-filter array capturing devices and most importantly, it's the model used by Photoshop to generate its colors. The reason for this is because it is based off of emitted light rather than the color wheel used by traditional painters which is based of off reflected light; two fundamentally different properties and characteristics. The paints and pigments of the RYB color model have additional requirements that go beyond simple color requirements such as: absorption and adhesion requirements, drying times, fade resistance, and so on. This puts additional chemical impurities in the inks, dyes, and pigments which makes the color response totally different when mixing two or more colors together. So this model wouldn't work for digital artists using Photoshop since the behaviors of the two models are so different.

It's not. It's digital for RGB color space. No way in real life you can mix blue and yellow paint and get mid gray. RGB color space exist only in digital world. Only machines understand it. Problem is: we mixing colors for human brain not for machines.

It is real as it's based on light (which coincidentally, is a real thing), and how people perceive that light (another real thing). This was discovered by shining multiple colored lights onto one another and has been studied in depth since at least 1931. It's most common applications are computer screens and capture devices as these are devices that emit light or capture light. Simply because you can't squish and squeeze light between your finger tips doesn't negate the fact that light and the color model that's based off of it are real things.

Tulack wrote:

You're right. You'd get green. So what? Different applications require different color models.

Tulack wrote:

Actually it also exists for lighting purposes which can be used for photography, videography (whether digital or analog), public shows such as concerts, scientific studies, and so on. Pretty much anything that involves light, it's a perfectly valid model.

Tulack wrote:

It's not a problem for people that understand color theory. And if you understand one model, it's not hard to understand the other...

Most every new concept is difficult to understand at first but time and practice garners understanding. The books I linked him to both cover the RGB color space quite well and are some of the most directly applicable books because they directly pertain to color manipulation in Photoshop. The links you provided are good for color schemes and general artistic principles which are every bit as applicable in one model as it is in the other. But trying to mix colors in Photoshop with the RYB color model in mind wont give you the results you're looking for as that's the wrong application.

And "primary" red pigment can be made by mixing magenta and yellow.

Same with "primary" blue, which is a mixture of cyan and magenta.

Just like in your color printer.

I think I understand where it comes from.

at least, I do know that some people are chromophobes,
with a MORBID aversion to some color combinations...

it's not necessarily a bad thing.
look at this guy, for example, with his "Clavier à lumières".

some colors not only look DEADLY for some, but even could be PHYSICALLY painful, and, to fight the phobia, they hide behind some "theories". don't judge.

not all points of spectrum are created equal, that's why some (invisible) range of rays can even destroy our planet smile it's beyound photoshop, of course, otherwise this piece of software could easily become the weapon of mass destruction... smile

and don't worry, I don't even know what I'm talking about.

Well.... Actually

The rgb color wheel is good for corrections (light)

But when we create color palettes the brain uses the ink one

I'm not sure about this.

I guess you may think in those terms having having come from a printing background, and I certainly do, having come from a painting background. But I wonder whether those who have been using Photoshop and other on screen devices for most, if not all of their lives, tend to think in RGB rather than CMY. Perhaps a survey has been conducted.
