YES. THIS COMMENT RIGHT HERE.

Did he like the sketches? Did he get to see them? Why milk?

dude your so cringe

Proko or Aron?

@@jictapus8559 Proko, I didn't know Aror till this video

Pure grey, hence pure white, exists only if someone arbitrarily decides it as "white point" as in Color Profiles (RGB, CMYK and so on). In the real world our eyes adapt to the surrounding light, changing it. You can realize it comparing your phone white point during daylight and indoor whit artificial light. Every light source (pixel, stars, lamps...) have a different white/grey. In general, one can consider pure white the average color of sunlight in the morning (this is due to biological causes, and I bet this is how RGB white has been decided) and grey with the same principle. For this reason photographers are obliged to use a grey cardboard to be able to take a picture with a calibrated grey, converting the real world light to a digital color profile. Colors are arbitrary, relative to what perceives them, and our brain-eye system is pretty good at changing its parameters. The only thing that matters are relationships. (Im no expert but I've done a lot of research, been a monitor enthusiast)

Daniele, So your saying the temperature of the grey (or white) is the question? Somewhat like how warm flake white is compared to how cool titanium white is, but only cool compared to flake whte, and flake white is only warm compared to titanium white.... so what is natural white and can it only exist in comparison to flake and titanium? Is that essentially what your saying, that everything is relative... because I agree... However... for simplicity sake... I think a neutral grey can exist in several temperatures... but technically, I think your right,... it doesn't exactly exist empirically.

Exactly. Between color A and B there is always a warmer and cooler one, but there is no neutral point that is absolute for every painting/picture. A color is warm or cool only in a determined system, in this case Mr. Westerberg's painting. Instead of thinking about grey as a zero chroma, consider it as the combination of every chroma. The question is: "What chromas?". (This is exactly how an object movement is considered in physics since Newton's. There is no such thing as a "stationary object" if you dont put it in a coordinate system of more than one object.) Once I made the same question that Proko did in a Art Shop, asking about the temperature of a yellow, and the answer was "cooler than what?". Of curse no one would argue a color like Prussian blue is warm, but one could still compare it to a blue laser light source and realize that the Prussian blue is warmer. For a painter, for every pigment that is not the bluest blue or reddest red, it really depends on where the color temperature is set for the image, hence what color palette the painter is using. PS Ironically grey is the most influenced color when shifting color temperature in a monitor (being the perfect balance of Red, Green and Blue). Thinking about a generic "neutral grey" creates a big limitation in the understanding of color theory.

Daniele, Great point. I do prefer a deeper understanding. I hadn't given it as much consideration as I should have. I feel like I always generally knew that grey didn't exist as an absence of colors... specifically because, light is made of a spectrum of wavelengths in different proportions. There is no wavelength that is "grey", and so the color grey is just proportions of the entire spectrum of colors. Perhaps when you said "In general, one can consider pure white the average color of sunlight in the morning"... makes me wonder if creating "balanced" proportions of light waves, to generate a scientifically white color... however light waves, with different intensities, require different power levels to produce... like reds, and their ability to travel through atmosphere further, while violets with short waves get blocked easily... and therefore scientific white is subject to environment. In space, astronauts describe how intense and bright the sun is, literally cooking them in minutes if their air conditioner goes out! That is some serious white light! edit: I now just realize that our preception of color is the challenge. We interpret RGB, and we create white light using RGB because the cones in our eyes interpret only those wave lengths... I watched a video how its impossible to see a yellowish blue. Green is the instinct, but its actually a physical limitation that humans have. The mantis shrimp for instance, can see a yellowish blue color that is unique from green, because of the extra cones they have... same with a butterfly. I have butterfly envy now as well! :)

I wana paint u hon. You are beautiful

If you're looking for where to start, Stan's library of videos is a good page to look. He has all of his videos in order for each course: www.proko.com/library

In the case of this video, I'm sure he was talking about traditional. In traditional painting, when you use the same brush, you run the risk of mixing previous colors on the new color even if you rinsed the brush because some of the colors are left behind on the bristles.
