*throws vodka and match* Get your orange juice ready, and have someone be in the way when you throw t at me. :P

I stopped reading. Stop being an idiot. What are you, 16, 17? You really think you have enough experience in life to patronize him? Grow some balls and pick on someone your own size.

Oh, I just noticed the dating part. She's not worth the trouble. [Edit] I'm totally out of it am I not?

As far as I could tell they weren't dating yet...?

I don't really care about the amount of colors obtained since I work in digital so I'll never really have the choice to work with any other amounts of colors that can be reached - I'm not sure why I brought that up in the first place - I'm just wondering which gives the best color schemes when you use schemes like the ones in my second post. No matter which wheel you use, a triad will always be an equilateral triangle, and a complementary will always be a straight line. But depending on the wheel, the colors won't be the same.

It still freed India. With a lot less collateral damage than being active-aggressive.

Wait until they end. You have no right to hit him, and you shouldn't hit him, with or without her knowing. She's not your property. Besides, if you kick his [wagon], she'll probably notice. :|

I guess you could consider pooling money with other people to buy him an XBox for his birthday? [edit] :wall: Unnecessary personal attack? No, wait, that's only the case if I do it. Thanks, mods! You made a useless and dumb post. He said no more. Get over it.

Red and green aren't stark opposites, or at least not in the way our eyes see. Stare at something red for a long time, then take your eyes away from it; you'll see cyan everywhere. Star at something green for a long time and you'll see magenta everywhere. The RYB wheel is broken. Unless you add two other colors as primaries - black and white - you'll lack these two colors. That's wrong. As far as I've observed while painting, you can't possibly achieve black with only those three. You can with CMY (lack of color for white, all colors for black [the key channel is used because of transparency of ink when printing]) or RGB (lack of color for black, all colors for white).

Ha... Ha. No. Not funny. Just annoying.

She's a vaginal virgin, but not anal or oral. Sounds like the best way to put it to me :P

The color harmonies work in geometric forms though. For example, a triad is an equilateral triangle, a square scheme is, well, just that, a square. I assume that the geometry creates a certain sense of balance and contrast. But in RYB where the color placements are wrong, the harmonies no longer make scientific sense, and are almost always off geometrically. For example, red and green as complementary colors aren't as contrasted as red and magenta, and won't neutralize each other in the same way G and M will (one gets brown while the other gets black or white, depending on whether you're using subtractive or additive). Now, if it works, how or why? Our eyes see in RGB/CMY, so I'm guessing the best balance and contrast is obtained from RGB/CMY.

Sweet, sounds good too. Thanks a heap :) [Edit] @OP, would be nice to add a "Price" line to the form.

only started pressuring my mom into buying ingredients because I was sick of eating frozen dinners. Maybe I should start doing that, my mom is our only income so she has trouble getting acceptable food. I don't know if it's easily done cheap, but I'd be really proud if I could cook for us both :P

I think that as a guy, cooking is a great advantage. I want to learn. watching the thread.

Simply said, I'm wondering why we use the RYB color wheel - which is wrong - for color harmonies like triads, split-complementaries etc. like this site and most color theory books do?

You can still see magenta even in subtractive color, as in off-screen. It's possible to obtain cyan and magenta, despite what RYB blends show. That's way closer to magenta than the RYB color wheel (see first post) can go, isn't it?

That's not what I mean. I know how the colors blend subtractively and additively. But in most books, you'll be told the primary colors are RYB. They're not. With RYB, you won't be able to produce a real cyan or a real magenta. Also, because the colors are placed wrong, color scheme theory like this: http://www.tigercolor.com/color-lab/col ... monies.htm is wrong. For example, that link says red and green are complementary; they're not. If the primary colors were instead CMY, the wheel and the schemes would be right. For example, the complementary of green would be magenta. So why do all these art theory books use RYB instead of CMY?

I use my pads and helmet when I'm at a skatepark where you have to, otherwise no. It's never served me though, whenever I've had a rough fall I usually fall on my back and pull up my head automatically. If there was such a thing as a (light) back helmet I'd wear it though, nothing worse than taking a bad fall 10 minutes into your session.

You guys are so jaded. Really.

All the color theory that I've come across is based on the RYB color wheel: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... el.svg.png That's the subtractive wheel. Meaning, when mix two colors, they'll become darker. That's the reason for the lack of cyan and magenta. Truth is, in a real subtractive wheel, the primary colors should be CMY, the ones used for printing. That can achieve any color and has the same amount of colors as the additive RGB wheel. However, mixing all three will result in black, while mixing RGB will give white. So why are we basing color schemes on a broken wheel? Can anyone fill me in here? Am I missing something or am I just right?

I was going to say that, then I figured I'd do it later.

You said just chilling, that pretty much killed it. I have a friend that says "So!" every time a conversation comes to a mild stop, and it completely kills it. I don't think she realizes. :P

Thing is, they haven't been proven to be terrorists.
