This new YouTube video by "Captain Disillusion" (Link to YouTube) explains a lot of important points about color: how we perceive it and how we chart it, from the hue circle of Isaac Newton to modern 3D luminance diagrams.
Every second of the video is packed with information, all beautifully illustrated with motion graphics. It goes by so fast you almost have to watch it twice to get it all.
For painters, a key quote is "A limited palette works just fine as long as the color relationships remain the same."
In the comments, can someone please share the links to the free software he mentioned that lets you chart 3D color gamuts and luminance charts?

Holy Moses - what was that?????
I am going to have to watch that more than just twice - it is packed with good info. It is so well-done that I will study it and really absorb it.
And, I love how his lower face changes when he word-bleeps. Thanks for sharing that.
Wow - that was PACKED with information ! Thanks for sharing.
I'm not able to find a free version, but I found these:

It passed by quickly in the beginning, discussion of cones, the use of 2 wavelengths to create a "full color" image.

Brilliant. Thank you for posting.
I think a search for free video processing software will provide some options. The lumanance tools will pretty much provide what is needed.
That software is DaVinci Resolve, it's a video editing software. :)
