Back to Color in Portraiture

This week we will return to the subject of color mixing for portraiture:


Sorry but time did not allow for me to write much.

We discussed the Munsell color wheel and various harmonies: primary, secondary, etc.



The Munsell system has three dimensions: vertical(value), circumference(hue), and diameter (saturation).

There was a comment in class that the Munsell system did not have orange. Whoever said this was mistaken. As you can see below organge is still a secondary color in the munsell system. However, "orange" is labeled YR (yellow-red) in the Munsell system.
