This post is part of a series in which I'm helping my friend upgrade her copy of the board game "Scythe" by painting some of the game pieces. All posts in this series are tagged #KP2023SCY to make them easier to find.

Color Theory

It's so much easier than you've been lead to believe.

People sometimes get frustrated when trying to learn how to paint.[Citation Needed] It would be expensive to buy every color of paint I need, after all. But I remember the poorly transmitted basics of basic color theory we tend to get as toddlers and mostly don't update as we grow. Let's start there, and work up a better model.

This one got long and has lots of pictures. The rest is below the cut!

Paint, we are told, contains different amounts of red, yellow, and blue to produce all the colors of the rainbow. OK, maybe if I just get those three colors I can figure out how to make the rest myself. And they're easy to find in a set with black and white!

I buy some middle-price red, yellow, and blue paints, and print out a quick spell diagram to work out some color magic on. I use my new set of Primary colors to mix up their famous Secondary colors, adding a little of two primaries back and forth until I get the result I like best. I also mix all three to form a swatch of a color I've seen called "natural black" or "chromatic gray". More on that later.

And sure enough, I was able to produce a color from each of the expected ranges! These are just how I remember them from school, but I notice they're not very vibrant colors. That purple could almost pass for black! But we are also told we can lighten up a color by adding white, so I did that to try to make a brighter purple.

... and I ended up with various shades of purplish gray. Frustrated that I can't even mix a nice purple, I begin to lose interest in the craft altogether, and I go buy the tube of purple paint. 💸

I've heard a few reasons for why we still teach this color model, and they mostly boil down to "because that's how it's been done forever". But we don't have to do it like it's been done "forever", and we certainly shouldn't teach red-yellow-blue color mixing if it gives us muddy results like this.

As it turns out, the choice of primary colors is badly optimized for mixing. A better choice was found by the printing industry in the beginning of the 20th century. Instead of red, yellow, and green, let's try the same thing with magenta, yellow, and cyan.

Here are swatches of the colors I have in my box right now that are closest to cyan and magenta. Really the cyan is closer to teal and the magenta is a little cooler than I'd have liked, but they'll work almost exactly the same. This is common in paint ranges: each manufacturer produces a slightly differently-pigmented version of each color. Sometimes they're trying to get particular properties from the paint, and sometimes they're trying to make a unique color that you'll want to buy from them every time. Single-pigment paints are available, but they tend to be much more expensive.

This time, all my colors are vibrant and bright. Except the gray, of course, but even its key property will have improved. I went for an orange color similar to the one I got on the other wheel, but adding a bit more magenta reddens it up pretty well.

Please note: we just made a beautiful red color by mixing yellow and magenta paints! That means that, for paint, red cannot be considered a primary color.

Now, I can tell from the results that the magenta has some white in it and the red has some black. The cyan also has some black in it and the blue contains white. It's good we found all that out! This is done to enhance the painting experience, and it does affect how the paints mix.

If our paints were pigmented more purely, our magenta/cyan mix would produce an even more vibrant purple! We also would have been able to find a better orange than we got with this red, but it would never be as intense as the one we got with the magenta. Basically, both color wheels are on equal footing as far as the purity of the result.

Remember our adding-white experiment from earlier? Here it is again, applied to the scarlet color we got by mixing yellow and magenta.

Adding black or white does darken or lighten the color (respectively), but it robs the result of "saturation" in the process. Saturation is how intense a color is, and it's why we like that chromatic gray we can build by adding all three primaries together. Adding a bit of that to any color will darken it and eventually overpower it, but the saturation loss is reduced. The downside is that you'll never get your colors as dark as you can with black. But if you neutralize with chromatic gray and then add black you can still get more saturated darks than if you had simply gone straight to black.

There are plenty of color wheels available freely online, but it's a good idea to make your own. That way your reference works with the exact paints that you have in your collection.

Using your own paints also gets you familiar with how they mix up. You'll find out just how much red you need compared to how much yellow to make the same change in the color, for example.

[SPOILER: red is an incredibly strong color and yellow is super weak. get the big bottle of the yellow you like.]

Do you need to know all this stuff? Not really. For a few bucks each, you can buy individual tubes or bottles of any color you want; and you should buy colors you use a lot so you don't have to mix them every time. But having a firm grasp of these basics will help you avoid frustration. If you want to paint with a color you don't have in your box, you can drive out to the nearest art/game/hobby shop, spend an hour of time and a fist full of currency for gas and that one particular paint; or you can grab your primaries and your color wheel and mix that color exactly the way you want to see it.

Your call.
