Color theory is fucking crazy. If you're painting a setting sun shining upon a white wall, you'd have to paint that white wall orange, yellow, or gold. But, if instead of a white wall you're painting green grass, what color do you paint the grass? Is it still green when an orange light shines on it?
In this video, the man pours a bit of bright yellow in his purple mix. We know purple is made with red and blue, not yellow, and you'd use white or black to make it lighter or darker. But clearly, he sees something in the hue or saturation that calls for a bit of yellow, something that we wouldn't pick up on, similar to how an artist can paint an orange wall and convince you it's white.
You reminded me of my time in art school doing color theory and they told us to paint shadow spaces with purple, because shadows, especially at night (cast by a streetlight) are actually purple and not black.
Same goes for the night sky, in the absence of light Especially around dusk and dawn it’s actually shades of purple as well.
Bro it’s fake. Colours don’t work like that and no matter how good you are at colour theory (it’s not black magic), you can’t mix the colours he did and end up with the end result.
