Design theory reference: About turbid color (unsaturated color)

How much do you know about cloud color?

Some people say that the color is not pure, and others do not have this concept, some people say the color of the designer. What the hell is he anyway? My personal understanding can be interpreted in two ways:

(1) from the color picker resolution, look at the following figure:

(in hue for Red legend)

Red + white Its brightness is more and more high, red + black Its brightness is getting darker, this is a vertical color, just add white or black alone to adjust the red light and shade. Note: Black, white is no color
Red + White + black mixed together, it can be seen from the end of the red color to the lower left corner, red plus black and white mixed together to form an unsaturated red (color), I define it as turbid color (related to other places is not saturated color or the purity of the color is not high).

(2) from the painting Gouache (watercolor) Aspects of analysis

The high school art, the examination art related university, must test one lesson is the gouache painting. Painting gouache must tools and materials: brushes, gouache paper, palette, gouache pigments (there are many kinds of colors, the people are familiar with the 7 colors, black and white, 2 or more to reconcile the different middle color, see how many colors see the article the bottom of the small knowledge part). The above nonsense said no more. The general gouache pigment mixes more than 4 kinds, or add white, black, plus the weight of water (because the characteristics of gouache pigments need to add water dilution to paint), and so on factors will reduce the purity of a color, so that it becomes cloudy, the more pigment superimposed, the more chaotic unbearable, the color of the harmonic more and more appear dirty. The painted people know that when each time to wash the palette of the water is gray to not be very clear to distinguish between the color of what hue, the rest is only cloudy and useless sewage.

Combined with Case analysis:

Display on the background color picker above

Display on the color picker of the figure text above

Look at the picture, is a cloud of good use of the site, the background of green + yellow + black and white, blue + black and white color, the entire screen tone for the blue-green rice gray tone, light and shade in the gray brightness stage. is a very typical cloud color of the site.
Color in the gray area of the deployment of color is the most difficult to grasp and weigh, especially the need to focus on lightness, purity, hue balance. In addition, to add that the above image site title text using a relatively high purity of color, this approach is a certain degree of purity of the balance, not the whole picture is a gray.
