Hi Everyone, Thanks for stopping by. I can’t believe I made it through the whole winter and caught a cold the last week of spring. So I apologize for the gruff voice. After I started, I realized the topic was too big to tackle in one video. This one is specifically about What is a colour.

I had the same surprise. I went in a hard cold just 10 days ago. I come from Mexico, so colour is something I have in my genes. Sometimes the combinations I make shock people. Like strong yellow and fuchsia. Thank you for your lessons, they are always welcome.

Color speaks to my soul. Just walking into a fabric store makes me happy. It's the color. I can't help adding whites to every quilt I make, it just maked the colors right for me. Now I want to see how many different whites I can put in a quilt.

Great information, when my daughter was very young, around 4 she would pick out her colors with such crazy color combinations, but I’d put her choices on and it always was surprizing how good it looked, now i know she was combining the tertiary colors, she would pick the color opposites, when she colored she spent the time arranging the crayons more than coloring, i have adult color books and i just love picking out the color to test them against each other, it’s like a dopamine hit for me, I think this is one of the most favorite part of quilting, i love watching these colors put together, i like to go through and see what people have created, my idea book is getting so big, this hardwire to color is probably the biggest draw, why quilters are in love with fabric, we are innately drawn to colors. I’ve been fascinated with color, how it affects us with our clothes, wall colors, I’ve just watched part 1 so far, but the information has answered and sparked questions I’ve thought about for years. Never knew the full information about hue, shade, tint, saturation....this will help me pick colors. Thank you!

I'm impressed. Very thorough. I watched this eleven months ago and posted the above comment. Learned a lot then, but found it difficult to absorb all the nuances of color, saturation, tones, and hues. The "tidy color wheel" we learned in school--and, if a primary teacher, taught to our pupils (though taking required prerequisite art classes, then methods in how to teach art, we just never got this deep). Adapting to the more thorough and scientific comprehension of color and Chromatics/Color Science, which you teach here is very rewarding as one selects and arranges color on the palette of a quilt. It seems this time around, I have a better grasp of color science--and it is interesting how the knowledge shared here shows up in the quilts I create--thank you, Karen Brown.

Well, Karen, after watching your video today, you explained what I worked on this week. I'm creating a grayscale color scheme for a quilt I'm making. I thought starting with gray would be a simple task. It seems, however, that there are blue-grays, brown grays, and true grays. It's making my head spin. However, I plugged away and separated the different types of gray, then organized them from light to dark. I'm not a natural at all when it comes to color. I am hoping that your advice will sink in and color will become more second nature as I go along. Your explanations are clear and understandable. Thanks for the video!

The exercise of arranging colored pieces and taking a greyscale photo will help me a lot. I have long wanted to make a watercolour piece, and have to stand back and try to squint at the colours to see the saturation of a swatch, because the fabric isn't a solid but a mixed pattern, and several hues, tints, tones, shades. Thanks! I need practice. Some seem to do this without effort.

A customer would come into the print shop to look at their job on the computer monitor, and give the okay to print. Upon seeing the printed job, they'd wonder why it didn't look like the monitor's display. This is an example of light shining through color vs reflected light. The monitor is backlit, passing through the images to one's eye. Light bouncing off the printed page is reflected light. This is why a disclaimer is sometimes seen on Internet shopping pages, noting that an item's color may not be truly represented. I buy fabric on-line exclusively and have yet to be disappointed. The quality of computer monitors and scanners has leveled out since the 1990s, and web site designers now have more sophisticated tools at their disposal, so that images come close to reality. Value, for me, is the tricky thing. To audition scrappy selections for a quilt top, I view them through a small piece of red plastic. Oh, my -- it's all mush! Time to hit the stash again, or (gasp) take a trip to Walmart. Color my quilting life interesting.

Judy Kizler : This series is quite timely. I just got a set of TWO filters hoping they will help with shopping my stash (vs. shopping a preplanned selection of fabric by a designer in the store where you know they are all designed to coordinate). Anyway, the set has a red filter for "warm" colors and a green filter for "cool" colors. Time will tell if they help get through to my understanding. This series should help a lot as well.
