Written By Kirin Schmit

This video shows you how the temperature of a color informs your choices for mixing and making colors. What happens when you mix a warm yellow with a cool blue versus a cool yellow with a cool blue? When do you want to have a clear violet purple instead of a muted maroon purple? You will learn how to pair different color temperatures together to make clear, bold and dirty, muted colors.
