Fortunately, there are a few simple rules, we can use to help us make sense of this apparently complicated subject and colour need not be as confusing as it first appears.

In has video, I talk about principle of COLOUR TEMPERATURE, how it works and how it affects the way colours behave relative to each other. He also demonstrates a simple and straightforward exercise which will help you understand and use colour temperature when mixing colours.
