Good afternoon, all, I have been thinking about colours and the different shades of colours, when I was a child there didn’t seem to be as many different shades of colours.
When it comes to primary colours even, they vary like with traditional art/painting they are red, yellow, blue, these are the primary colours taught in many schools.
When it comes to digital screens the colours are red, green, blue. These match the three types of cone cells in your eyes, which is why screens use them.
Then we have the colours used in printing they are cyan, magenta, yellow, black. Printers add black (K) to make CMYK for deeper shadows.
However, compared to when I was a child there now seems to be an unknown number of shades of different colours. Once there seemed to be only about 6 different shades of each colour.
When we think of shades, we think of different shades of the primary colours.
Am I the only person who feels this was how it was.
