Here's an attempt at two isoluminant hue circles in oils. The dark warm yellow is a shade too light, but otherwise I'm pleased with the effect.

An experiment: I mixed paint to try to find the lightness of 12 hues that would all translate to an equal "black" under a red filter. Almost nailed it!

Was drafting a script for a video on Mondrian, De Stijl, Ostwald and the Bauhaus... and it turned into a 1300 word essay. Oops.

I used Bruce MacEvoy's plot of pigment hue/chroma in CIECAM02, narrowed to the pigments in my oil paint collection, to generate a voronoi diagram. Then I painted each cell with the pigment in question.

If you'd like to see more work by Johonnot, look up Hammered & Hewn on the web, they have a fair sized collection. He has sadly become obscure, but could command the equivalent of $10,000 for a painting in his day.

This is a painting my Ralph Johonnot, circa 1910. A colleague of Arthur Wesley Dow and mentor of Rudy Schaeffer, Johonnot was pivotal in the transmission of science-based color theory in the Arts & Crafts movement.

@Coloria_net This is Charles Hayter's "A New Practical Treatise on the Three Primitive Colours" (1830). Can be found on Google Books. 😊

@color_nerd A little besides the point...: Can you tell me, which book this illustration is from? (I'm collecting and remaking old colour theory themed illustrations as my hobby 🙂 )

Still teaching that Red Yellow and Blue are the primary colors in 2022? That's equivalent to a chemistry teacher whipping out a table of hermetic symbols. A thread.

And yet it was hugely influential. RYB is still the dominat model in fine art classes, even at the college level. So now, in 2022, we're faced with a choice: perpetuate pre-scientific color theory, and be foolish as a science teacher teaching alchemy, or GET WITH THE PROGRAM.

It included a lot of confusing "Laws of Contrast" that don't stand up to science, and that famous RYB color wheel, which ignores all the developments of color science since Maxwell...
