Understanding Color Theory Concepts

The video discusses the limitations of traditional color wheels and introduces the color disc, a tool based on current color science. It explains how the color disc differs from traditional wheels by focusing on human color perception rather than pigment mixing. The video also covers practical applications of the color disc, including predicting pigment mixing outcomes and understanding color naming conventions.

What is one of the main issues with traditional color wheels?
