By far, the most important component of color is value. When a viewer looks at your art, or anything else in the world, what they notice first is the biggest difference of light and dark, which is value contrast. When choosing colors for your art, ask yourself first, “Which value do I need to use?” Then, you can choose any color, but in order to make it the right value, you will have to adjust it with darker or lighter colors. We can use black and white to do this, but it can also be helpful to use other colors, so that your colors are rich. The components of saturation and temperature are far less noticeable than the value of color.
