quote [ Everything you think you know about color is a lie. Come learn the REAL primary colors and find out where color comes from. ]
Extended has a video that explains additive and subtractive color.
Watch this until you finish the names of paint shades you should be using; after that it's the same material as toplink video but not as good IMO.
Colour Theory: The Truth About The Colour Wheel

Theory of knowledge has no practical use when discussing color theory. I mean, if we're going down that road, everything is imaginary. There is no need to postulate whether you are a brain in a jar; if reality is exactly as we perceive it, then you are a brain in a jar called your skull and your filthy lying eyes and ears send you signals that you maybe extrapolate into something halfway reasonable.
This video isn't really about blowing your mind, it's a promise to blow your mind to trick you into watching an art education video. And you fell for it.
Even in college, I wasn't taught this, yet I was graded on my ability to mix paints to match a given swatch. Understanding CMYK is really fundamental but somehow often gets skipped over.

The problem is so bad that the paints they had us buy didn't include the colors named in the second video. That set of paints is a standard set for oil painting and is missing cyan and magenta. Understanding CMYK is really fundamental but somehow often gets skipped over.
