Tutorial 79 - Relative Color Temperature
Added 2016-03-20 10:04:43 +0000 UTCFairly simple concept here. I got quite confused when I was learning about color temperature. Some colors were obviously warmer than others but some yellows and deep purples I wasn't so sure about. The idea of a cool orange didn't make any sense. A yellow color can be described as a warm green (or yellowy green) but the same yellow can be described as a cool orange (or yellowy orange). This goes for all colors.
Still confused? Think of the color grey. Now, we can describe grey as a pale black, or as a dark white. Make sense? Great!
Color temperature can be talked about in both general and relative terms. So it's important to remember this when studying color and it's applications.
There's further to go with color temperature in later tips and tutorials. We'll talk about temperature in terms of mood, in terms of depth and in terms of light and shadow.

Thank you very much for the tutorial. I had the same confusion, i only understood red=warm, blue=cool and everything else was foggy in my head
