Bringing down the value of black with white makes it bluer, to adhere to the original red hue mix the same value of orange which is opposite of blue to the red mixture. This will make sure that the red does not lean towards red-blue while changing the saturation ( ie creating shades) but keeping the value constant.

one of the most clear explanations about color...

Your video deserves lot more likes man. Amazing and simple way to to explain.

This has been super helpful for me, who is just starting out with acrylic color and didn't know how to give color tones to shadows. Thank you so much!

Correction: Adding black decreases the saturation of a color one step only, adding the same black further will only decrease its value/darken the hue. In order to decrease the saturation further you need to mix red with additional green to the grey you had initially mixed. Hope this makes sense.

Wow so amazing.. loved this tutorial..

Thank you so much this has helped me a tons to finish my first art project of the course

Love the explanations, it all makes sense now. Thank you!

Very clear and easy to understand.

thank you so much for this useful video.

This is what i want informative and to the point. 👍

Deserves more attention.

I'm taking an intro color theory class and am nervous, though excited, about using paint for the first time. Your video explained hue, value, and saturation very well with wonderful visuals. Thank you!

Great video thanks for sharing .

Just wow! 🤯

Thanks a lot...😊😊😊😊👏👏👏👏

Omg thank you so much this was very easy to understand!

very interesting

Very helpful ..thanks

Nice one! Percentage of white and black to make grey? Please mention it.

I still don't get the difference between value and saturation. I can effectively mix yellow, blue and red to get any hue I want. I can then mix any of those hue mixes with a shade of white, grey, or black - and thus get any color. Is value and saturation then just two ends of the same spectrum? In that case, couldn't they just be merged to one value i.e. 'scale from white to black mixed in'?

IT IS INTERESTING

I have adding grey is added to adjust saturation , not white or black , is saturation is mid of tint and shade

Wait mind blown. There's no dark yellow in nature?! Ok I'm realizing this but like I'm pretty surr I've seen some in fruits?

super helpful and clear!

Omg thank you

whats the difference between changing the value of a color and creating a tint by adding white or adding grey to create a shade? They are the same thing?

Interesting color lesson. I'm curious, there is really no such natural color as dark yellow, so what color is mustard yellow?

what is a value?

finaly a video say add gray to make your colors satuation. i whas allready think it but i whasnt 100% sure

So basically hue is pure color Saturation is tones of colors Value is shades and tints of colors ...... Right ???????

It is wrong what you are explaining, adding black reduces its value and adding grey or white reduces its saturation.

This explanation is a mess. It feels like it could be something directly explained: add white to increase value, add grey to decrease saturation, mix with other color to change hue. Or however it is. This jumps all over the place.

‘Add white to the black to bring it to the same value as the cadmium red’ THAT is what I don’t get. I just don’t understand value. So grey and red are the same value because they’re neither black nor white? So they’re like a 5/10 value, 1 and 10 being black and white?
