“…the secret of green is orange and the friend of green is violet. Natural light represents all color, so a little orange introduced into green (which is a combination of yellow and blue) subtly introduces the color family of red and completes the color wheel spectrum.”
Richard McKinley, Painting Greens in the Landscape
Given, in my world, the secret to vibrant blue in a seascape is also orange, maybe the answer is always orange? What’s your go-to colour?
I love green so usually every color on my palette has a little green mixed with it.
If you didn’t know already, this is called a “mother colour”. 🙂
