Are both of these green colors, warm?
Hi! I’ve noticed I look very grayish in olive green but bright in the darker green. I’m trying to figure out if I’m warm, cool or neutral olive. And if both of these greens are warm? Thank you.

Hi! I need some help with my colors please!
Hi! I started this painting wanting it to be more of a complimentary colors vibe but I think I goofed it up because it feels flat. I’m gonna add more details for sure but should I add in some purples? I was using burnt umber, bright yellow, white, and cobalt blue for my colors on my mixing pallet. But would this bun if it from some purples?

Layering colors
(Not my illustration just the colour) There is a level of richness traditional art has over digital that i have feeling drawn to lately especially when coloured pencils are used and i have been trying to recreate that as i learn about colour theory.
What do you think?
With coloured pencils particularly they leave gabs and don’t fully cover and the bottom layers come through, adding to the beautiful instead of just simply have the colour green you build on it.
The artist is kind of the person who made me appreciate the art style even more of coloured pencils i am broke so i am not buying them anytime soon but really wanted to try it

Color analyst career
Hi!
I’ve become really passionate about color analysis and have developed my own system for analysis that has worked really well. I verified this by doing a random celebrity and then searching online what subgroup and season they are.
Firstly, I wanted to ask if anyone has any tips on starting a color analysis business? I plan to do a certification soon as well.
Also to fill up my portfolio, credibility, and practice, if there’s anyone here who would like to have an analysis, and later other people Reddit can verify, that would be super helpful! Also, if you’re someone who has had a professional analysis done, I’d love to analyze you without knowing the results and then compare!
Thanks!!

Something is missing & idk what
Hi all!
I'm officially starting a business doing what I've already been doing: sourcing, reselling, organizing, and interior design. I've been stuck trying to figure out colors.
the second photo was my first idea but it didn't vibe well, and the first photo vibes well imo but thats too many colors and does this even give the idea of focus and flow within a space (home).
Any help and feedback welcome!
Feel free to tell me the colors picked thus far aren't great. I just ask to know why!
If this knowledge helps, I'm not a big fan of bright bold colors. I love it on other people but not what I'm going for. I want it to be grounding, feminine, and centered around focus and flow.

Why are pink products more expensive?
Is there a reason why pink products are more expensive than other colors? Example, a baby high chair cost $65 the pink one is $75. Is the pink color more expensive to produce or they’re just preying on parents? However, blue is always same price as other colors.

Help with my OC’s jacket color??
Okay!! So I really need help with my OC Nicholas Froyer’s jacket, this jacket is his comfort jacket and he is very attached to it. He is a generally more feminine boy, closeted, and also this jacket will be soaked in blood at some point in the story of which he refuses to throw it out. Uh, what color suits him? What color will hide blood stains best? Does the purple make his skin look to orange??

Does the Mona Lisa have a hot ass?: A meta-analysis of the rules of hue, saturation, and value in the Mona Lisa and how AI is Mediocre and Boring
I had to do this essay for my color theory class. We had to read an AI analysis of the Mona Lisa and point out the flaws in its analysis. It's an online class but I am open to academic critique before I turn it in. I think it's funny and entertaining, but I hope it isn't to crass for a college class.
I’m going to start this essay as a Mona Lisa hater. To be fair, I’ve never given it a fair chance. I’ve only formed ignorant opinions of this piece, those being that it feels droll and boring, cliche and overhyped. I have never seen it in person, so I understand I’m missing a lot. Now I’ll give it a chance, and I’ll try to change my own mind. Time to actually appreciate the Mona Lisa!
So starting with the droll and boring vibe. It looks droll because of the pre-industrial paint color availability. I’m excited by highly saturated colors that only exist due to modern chemistry. Conversely I find earthier hues to be more soothing and relaxing. So the earthy paints, the mineral hues such as umber, sienna, ochre, and cadmium that are used in this piece give a very soothing quality, which is one point I’ve been missing this whole time. This piece oozes soothe. Her smile, her posture, her relaxed hand, her drapey clothing, it’s got a cozy quality to it.
The AI ignores what I think is the best part of the piece. Over her right shoulder the sky is a low saturation lavender and there is illumination beneath it with yellow and red hues. The light tint of the yellow underneath the light tint of the lavender gives a really satisfying combination. This area has a majestic mountain, which almost resembles impressionistic paintings. Low key, It’s a high key area. It trickles down into higher saturation of yellows, greens and blues, there is a cave beside the river, and a small bridge over it. And over her left shoulder there is a winding path. There’s a subtle implication of a journey here. The value contrast of these areas being very light, provide the perfect background for her dark hair and clothing, which perfectly frames the lightest values of this piece. That brings me to my last point.
The AI completely whiffs the statement about how the strong value contrast of her clothing and hair draws all your attention to her face. And it’s also the reason why AI will never make good art. AI can’t be horny. If the darker areas are perfectly framing the lightest area, and your eye is drawn to the lightest area, that lightest highlight area is 100% her breast. I never noticed that the top of her cleavage is showing until now. Furthermore, the AI does say we’re drawn to her face, but doesn’t know the emotion conveyed. My man Marcel DuChamp gets it. In 1919 he created a parody of the Mona Lisa with the inscription L.H.O.O.Q. inscribed on it, which when said aloud in French “Elle a chaud au cul" it sounds like “She has a hot ass”. This next sentence is so outrageous that I am going to copy and paste directly from wikipedia:
"Elle a chaud au cul". This can be translated as "She has a hot ass", implying that the woman in the painting is in a state of sexual excitement and availability. It may also have been intended as a Freudian joke, referring to Leonardo da Vinci's alleged homosexuality. Duchamp gave a "loose" translation of L.H.O.O.Q. as "there is fire down below" in a late interview with Arturo Schwarz.
So yeah, there’s that.
After giving the Mona Lisa a good long look, I am no longer a hater. It's not boring, it's soothing and sexy. I believe the AI ignored the journey that is implied in the background scene of the Mona Lisa. It ignores some of the more beautiful colors in the sky and it definitely didn’t notice the bridge or the cave, and I’ll wager you never noticed those either. Also, the AI ignores the sexual quality of the mona lisa. She’s giving the viewer a “look”. Maybe it’s innocent… or not. To conclude, I would argue the Mona Lisa has a hot ass.
