Book Review :: Blue & Yellow don’t make Green
Blue & Yellow don’t make Green by Michael Wilcox changed the entire way I think about colour while providing a great guide on how to mix a colour I want right off the bat. No more guessing at what you need.
The theory is backed by science which makes it all the more reputable. The author talks about how light reflects through a pigment to create the actual colour the viewer sees. If you understand light and the principals behind a prism it will all makes sense.
As the title states, blue and yellow do not make green, believe it or not. What makes the green is the residual green colour that exists in yellow and blue (the pigments are not a PURE primary), as the yellow and blue cancel each other out. Intrigued? I suggest any artists that has any desire to learn about colour mixing get this book.
