The video discusses advanced color schemes in art and design. The speaker starts by reviewing basic color schemes, including achromatic (no color), monochromatic (single hue), analogous (colors next to each other on the color wheel), complementary (colors opposite each other on the color wheel), triadic (three colors equally spaced from each other), and split complementary (colors split on either side of a complementary color).
The speaker then moves on to more advanced color schemes, including:
* Double split complementary: a scheme that takes two adjacent colors and splits them, creating a thin "x" on the color wheel.
* Polychromatic: a scheme that uses all colors under the rainbow, creating a star shape on the color wheel.
* Tetradic: a scheme that creates a wider "x" on the color wheel by taking two complementary colors and their adjacent colors.
* Discordance: not a traditional color scheme, but rather a technique that involves switching the value strengths of two colors, making the weaker color stronger and vice versa.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding color theory and balancing colors to create effective color schemes. The video is designed to provide a university-level education on color schemes for free.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. Achromatic color scheme means there is no color, only black and white.
2. Monochromatic color scheme uses different shades of the same hue.
3. Analogous color scheme uses three or more colors next to each other on the color wheel.
4. Complementary color scheme uses two colors directly across from each other on the color wheel.
5. Triadic color scheme uses three colors equally spaced from each other on the color wheel.
6. Split complementary color scheme uses a color and the two colors on either side of its complementary color.
7. Double split complementary color scheme is similar to split complementary, but with two colors on either side of each color.
8. Polychromatic color scheme uses all the primary and secondary colors.
9. Tetradic color scheme is a slightly wider double complementary color scheme.
10. Discordance or discordant color scheme is a technique that switches the value strengths of two colors.
11. RGB color wheel has red, green, and blue as primary colors.
12. CMYK color wheel has magenta, cyan, and yellow as primary colors.
13. RYB color wheel has red, yellow, and blue as primary colors.
14. Polychromatic scheme requires balancing colors to avoid a "rainbow vomit" effect.
15. Tetradic scheme is commonly used in e-rated games, such as Mario and Kirby.
16. Discordance is not a separate color scheme, but rather a technique to add to other schemes.
