About this lesson
Explains how a six-color split-primary palette (a warm and a cool version of each primary, such as cadmium reds, ultramarine and phthalo) avoids the muddy mixes of a single red-yellow-blue set. Shows how choosing the right pair of primaries controls vibrancy and harmony, particularly in landscapes.
