The technical explanation of why gamut masks create colour schemes that work well together is as follows: This colour wheel combines the RBG with CMY colour wheel and is a truer representation of how we perceive colour.
The Yurmby colour wheel was first created by Tobey Sanford. He has also made a short video on the technique here:įor a colour wheel that is more useful with gamut mapping you could use the Yurmby colour wheel. His book describes how to make gamut masks using a colour wheel and the uses this has for an artist to create harmonising colour palettes. I recommend you give him a look if you haven’t already done so. James Gurney is an amazing artist and he is very generous with his sharing of artistic knowledge. I first saw his art when I read the Dinotopia books as a child.
James Gurney is one of my favourite artists. I first came across this technique after reading “ Color and Light” by James Gurney. I will briefly discuss the technique and give links to other resources as well. It is useful for artists who use any medium whether digital or traditional. Gamut mapping is a technique for choosing a limited set of colours that work well together. I’m going to be exploring this method more in my colour painting studies from now on so I wanted to write about it to familiarise myself with the technique. I wanted to write about gamut mapping or gamut masking as it is also called.
