One is that the sky above truly has more blue wavelengths, but also because of the reason you learned in the color class. I've heard it called "induced" color, or the complementary color that you perceive as a contrast to any strong adjacent hue.<BR/><BR/>And Paolo, I've also noticed that sunrise colors are a little different. They seem distinctly pinker and less orange. The best explanation I've heard for this one is that more dust and other pollutants is mixed in the air late in the day, and the dust gives a more orangey cast. Maybe someone else has another explantation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-69981344306222365152008-01-13T13:52:00.000-05:002008-01-13T13:52:00.000-05:00Thanks for all the great technical info.

I'm always trying to learn the reasons behind what I'm seeing so I can use it later in subsequent paintings.<BR/><BR/>I also have a question: The sunrise (when I'm actually awake to see it) always looks "cooler" to me than the sunset, and I was wondering if you had come across an explanation for this. I used to think it might be due to the Doppler effect, but an optical engineer told me the human eye may not be able to perceive that small a shift in frequency.Paolo Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088106827920011644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-56445048906577182342008-01-13T13:36:00.000-05:002008-01-13T13:36:00.000-05:00Is the bluish nature of shadows due to that color ...Is the bluish nature of shadows due to that color being the compliment of the of the sky's orange-ness? I may be remembering this totally wrong, but I think I vaguely recall learning in a color class that cast shadows tend to be tinged with the compliment of the light being obscured.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16334033221403464054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-39988715488706427152008-01-13T12:57:00.000-05:002008-01-13T12:57:00.000-05:00Mr. Gurney,I just wanted to say "ThankYou!" so muc...Mr. Gurney,<BR/>I just wanted to say "ThankYou!" so much for sharing your knowledge of lighting and landscape painting with your readers.
