Since when is enthusiasm red?

TL;DR - "Well, actually, color theory--" ... "Bro, context matters, and that looks like blood." End of post.

I have synthsesia(spelling) my brain and eyes don't cooperate on color. ESPECIALLY red!! Red causes me vertigo. And I have trouble telling the difference between shades of red. So red is not a positive color for me at all!

Add context to your life. Context is everything!

I like the fact that the first "but color theory" guy lists lust as a negative connotation, while the second lists it as positive. You'd think if color theory was such a solid thing, people would agree on what's positive or not. Also I'm pretty sure you could add "hate" as a negative connotation, so I feel like this color theory thing is biased as hell. Who decides what is associated with which color? Isn't white the color for funeral in Japan for example?

The But Actually comments can get exhausting but you have to know your audience like here lots of people just want to share their vast knowledge and you know what? Go for it friends, I obviously got time to spare being here and all

I love it. My concern is that they didn't bother listening, either. Context matters, even with basic color theory.

Colour Theory? What about context? morons.

Years ago, I remember someone making a distinction between "smart" and "intellectual" people: Smart people simplify complicated concepts. Intellectuals complicate simple concepts.

Pff yeah, there's a lot of folks like that. Like, I'm gonna have an argument today, I just haven't figured out any of the details yet.

Tumblr conversations always fascinate me.

I never had one but it's still somehow nostalgic
cepheidvariable
I had one for a short while. Never posted to it, just followed other accounts. Then they closed it for no apparent reason.

Why is euthanasia listed as a positive association??

Not sure if joking or you read it wrong, but enthusiasm means intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval.

Actual color theory

inboxmefoxes
Yeah, color theory doesn't have anything to do with emotional associations, which is more the realm of social and consumer theories, and advertising. It is pretty much all about the application of different colors in art and what looks good and what looks jarring to the eye.

That "red yellow blue" one is on the long list of wrong things we teach to children for some dumb reason. Tell them about cyan and magenta.
FuzzyZergling
…No? Cyan and Magenta are primary colors of LIGHT, yellow and blue are correct for mixing pigments - paints.
mmontour
You learned the wrong thing in school. Light: red green blue (put a magnifying glass in front of your computer screen). Pigments: Cyan absorbs red; Magena absorbs green; Yellow absorbs blue. Go to Staples and look at the inkjet printer supplies.
Navrodel
Simplifications, not lies. Teaching a grade schooler perfect hue mix theory is less important than getting the idea that you can mix yellow and blue to get green.
Cyan is still *a* blue. Magenta is still *a* red. You can build on that foundation later if they need/want to know more than a dozen or two color names, but the basics still work well enough for a kid.

Why not give them cyan and magenta paints on day 1?
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
How would they ever get, for example, red paint if you started them with cyan, magenta, and yellow? The point of the RYB model is that if you have those three paints, plus black and white, you can make any other colours. It's not intended to teach them about light reflection.
mmontour
How does an inkjet printer make red? Mix magenta and yellow.

Have you got "cyan and magenta paints on day 1" money?
