What is a SPLIT PRIMARY colour palette?

A split primary color palette refers to a palette of colors with both warm and cool variations of the primary colors (being red, blue and yellow). The purpose is to mix a wider gamut of colors. Mixing a color wheel using just the three primary colors reveals some limitations of our paints and highlights the importance of the split primary palette. I will create another color wheel but this time with a split primary palette which includes: Cadmium red (warm red) Alizarin crimson (cool red) Cadmium yellow (warm yellow) Cadmium lemon (cool yellow) Ultramarine blue (warm blue) Cerulean blue (cool blue) Here are some of the key observations from this split primary color wheel: *The orange is still rich and intense, obviously, because the same red and yellow are used. *The purple is much cooler and richer due to the use of alizarin crimson rather than cadmium red. Alizarin crimson is a cooler red which leans towards purple. *The green is much more vivid due to the cool yellow being mixed with the cool blue. The split primary palette is ideal for landscape painting, as it allows you to mix rich secondary colors which you will frequently encounter in nature (particularly green). When you are outside painting the landscape, there is more light and this usually results in more color. Whilst the split primary palette allows you to mix a much wider gamut of colors, it does come with some disadvantages: *More colors mean more complexity. But this is only a disadvantage if you don’t know how to deal with the additional colors. *In most cases, you will not need to mix a vivid green, orange and purple, especially for still life or portrait painting. Sometimes, a partial split primary palette is all that you need. For example, in landscape painting I often have a red, blue and warm and cool yellows to give me more options for mixing greens. *The split primary palette is still not perfect, in that you will not be able to mix every color with it. #LandscapePainting #AcrylicPainting #silhouettepainting #silhouetteart #sunsetpaintings #acrylicpainting #paintingtutorials #Satisfying #vanshibha
