I just so happen to be using jade green to paint a dragon and am at the highlight stage. Im adding yellow to make the highlight but wish to keep it cold as its a lizard. I think its becoming worm with the yellow, am I right?
Yes, yellow is warmer… If you want something warm but not too warm, I suggets Ivory. You seem to want something cold, however… so something like Ice Blue, or Frostbite, would be interesting. If it’s an oriental dragon, you could also mix purple and white to obtain a very light lilac for your almost-highest highlight… Acid, not too warm if you choose a blueish purple to start with, and in stark contrast with teal or turquoise. A slightly psychedelic highlight, but I know from your minirama entries you’re not afraid of a little pink ! Why don’t you put some… Read more »
Yes this has been a real slow piece. Its 3 months of work and I’m just getting to the main body of the big guy. I’ll try each out on a small area just to see what will go well with the rest of the model. Im trying to make it look like a rain forest frog 🙂
Cool ! Show us when you’re done !
It seems like there are 2 ways to consider color temperature. The first is how it affects a scheme on a psychological / symbolic level. You can develop a ‘cold’ and ‘warm’ schemes to create a psychological impact based on cultural arechetypes of color associations. But this isn’t true color temperature. Rather it is the use of color association as it relates to psychological / symbolic experience with actual temperature based phenomenon, which happens to parallel the same qualities and terminology used to reference true color temperature. Fire is red / orange, and is hot, so the symbolic association is… Read more »

Dear @ubiquanon,
You obviously spent some time following the leads I give in my videos, digging deeper. It’s not necessary for the basics, but it’s nice to see someone interested !
Thank you very much.
You’re right on all accounts : color temperature is heavily associated with the culturla paradigm (semiotics and so on), although the biological/instinctive aspects are not to be neglected, were it only because they often transcend cultural mores.
About the Mumak… It’s quite big, and I wouldn’t dare paint it without the permission of its owner !
