After spending too long with charcoal pencils for my portraits, I'm ready to learn to paint. For the time being it will be digital, but eventually with oils.
Anyway, I need to learn the fundamentals of colour theory. What's a good online source?
Looks like I'll be using a Surface Pro 4 for now, I hope I didn't fuck up. Seemed like a reasonable balance between Cintiq and iPad.
You can find the basics of color theory practically anywhere. Most of it can be summarized into images like this, and this is the sort of shit you'll see in droves when you google "color theory." There are websites like Color Scheme Designer that can get you an instant palette based on the fundamentals of color theory.

I also got a program recently called ColourConstructor that can show you what colors look like in different lighting conditions and construct palettes for you, which is nice. I'd recommend it if you're trying to figure color out.
The more nuanced elements of color are something I struggle with as well. The basics are very simple and easy to grasp, but putting it into practice can be really challenging, at least to me. Sycra did a video on color that's actually not too bad, though.
