I would like to get some answers regarding color theory as in when too use saturated colors, and when to drop down on saturation. and i always figured shadows would decrease the saturation but seems as if light does that aswell ? does this varry depending on what color the light is hitting ? and how much of an impact does this have on a painting, Also... do artists think about this before they paint ?
The Hue color also seems to move upp or down to the closest neighbor color depending on what darkness or brightness it has.
etc a Dark-blue color will turn Teal if it is highlighted and almost shift to purple when shaded. And if the Dark-Blue area has a strong yellow spotlight on it the center of the spotlight will turn white while the edges of the spotlight will turn Teal. But ! then if it’s a Light blue color it will turn purple instead, as it inverts the Down to Up instead. is there an explanation (maybe some thumb rules) as when to use these techniques without the use of 3dsmax constantly. I did read the links in the stickies regarding some color theories but they still didnt fill in all the blanks.
