ABSTRACT
Color theory is serious science. It involves physics, optics, brain
functions, and psychology. There are PhDs in labs working to
better understand color, so we aren’t going to cover it properly
in one chapter. On the other hand, the amount of color theory
we need to comprehend for successful scene painting is
manageable. Mostly, you need to be able to look at a color you
want to paint in a reference image or a sample and reverse-
engineer the color so you can mix it yourself.
