You know what I do? Since I live much of my life inside my computer, I go to Wikipedia's colour page here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors and look up blue. IRL, I'm not sure of the answer to your question. Presumably, it has to do with the R/G/B ratios, but how a human eye would recognize that is beyond me. I've had a number of questions since I took the course too. It takes weeks, even months since I took it at Easter, to process it all and read your notes. Once you apply it to real people, a whole new pile of questions bubbles up. I've emailed my trainer, or Kathryn herself, many times. They've both been more than helpful in their responses. This is such a good company, ay? What I learned recently about blue, from Kathryn, is that relative to each other, red-blue is warm and green-blue is cool. BUT in composition with other colours this reverses. Fascinating, and a point I didn't fully clarify when I took the course. Do ask Kathryn... and then post a follow-up and let us know the answer!

You are way ahead of me on “true blue”. You know what I do? Since I live much of my life inside my computer, I go to Wikipedia’s colour page here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors and look up blue. IRL, I’m not sure of the answer to your question. Presumably, it has to do with the R/G/B ratios, but how a human eye would recognize that is beyond me.

I recently took the Sci/Art PCA class. It was fantastic. It was difficult when it came to discussing blue. It is easy to tell if one blue is warmer or cooler as compared to another blue. But when it comes to choosing which blues are warm and which are cool to place into a seasonal palette, is there a scientific method to determine warmness and coolness? I have tried to come up with a specific factor to define true or exactly 'neutral" blue, to be able to determine warmness or coolness from there. I tried to come up with lines to divide up the color wheel, or percentage of red vs. blue or yellow vs. blue, or light frequencies, or even sectioning the 3-D Munsell color model. Nothing quite fits. How do you determine the true blue? Thank you for talking about the weirdness of blue. I recently took the Sci/Art PCA class. It was fantastic. It was difficult when it came to discussing blue.
