Just a simple example of how the concept of Color Temperature can be used to give more life and believability to an image. Color, value and hue all work together in nature and cannot be separated. When you paint try not to just have light yellow and dark yellow (which can look muddy like in the top example), but consider that saturation can increase and the hue can shift when the light decreases in strength. Think of light as energy instead of just a value or black and white. If you turn on a light bulb slowly the filament will start by glowing a deep saturated red, then as more energy is added (higher temperature) the color will shift towards orange, then yellow and eventually to white.

For more information on this idea I talk about it in my DVD with the Gnomon Workshop ( [link] ). But I found this example I had created awhile back and figured it would be good to share.

this is something I barely learned last year and it's had a dramatic effect on my work. I like the way you put it here. simple explanation and example.

Definitely one of the best Gnomon tutorials i've seen. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful DVD :D.

By the way if you don't mind i'd like to ask a question: the color temperature chart covers natural light colors that we see the most like red, orange, yellow and blue. How you deal with more exotic color mood like green or violet light source? If the light strenght changes, would the saturation and hue change as well?

Great! I'm so glad the DVD was helpful. Yes, with color temperature hue saturation and value are all linked. I tend to observe that everything moves toward yellow on the color wheel, so green shifts to yellow (like sunlight on grass), violet shifts towards blue/cyan or towards red/orange depending on the light in the scene. Try different things to see what looks best.
