In this video I wanted to cut through the confusion & actually lay out the specific paint colours (& exact pigments) that go into the most popular primary palettes.

No paint colours yet exist that perfectly represent the scientific Cyan, Yellow, & Magenta we see in colour theory.

Also the paint colours that come the closest are often given different names by different brands which creates confusion when you’re researching which colours to buy.

Once you get beyond the theory it can be hard to know which colours to use so in this video I go through:

1. The closest colours to Cyan, Magenta, & Yellow
2. CMY substitutes
3. Realist substitutes
4. Popular Red, Yellow & Blue Primary Palettes
