All language subtitles for 13 Stealing Colors & Adobe Color Themes.en

Hi there. In this video we're going to pick some colors for our shapes.

I'm going to show you a cool place like this to get some ideas for colors.

I'm also going to show you how to steal colors from an image.

Let's get into it now and get started. Welcome back.

First up, you can work on the file that you've worked on in the last tutorial,

if you are just jumping into this particular one,

if you've got a file open and then the file called exercise files shapes.

This is one cold coloring shapes,

open that one up and that's where we're at now.

We just randomly picked colors and they don't

quite suit the background as much as I want.

I'm going to show you two awesome things to do with color,

this should probably of being in the colored section,

but it's hard to separate them all out into sections too much.

We are going to look at just how to get nice colors.

I get stuck in,

I'm using that gradient there.

I've used probably on every sick and job in the last six months,

just because I like those colors and it's hard to break out of your color schemes.

Look at any moment designs is either this green,

I want to say, I don't know,

mendow any peach color and baby blue,

all my work is done like that.

The way I get out of that comfort zone and find other colors the nicest way

is under Window and it's under extinctions and I don't know why they hide it.

Such a cool little thing,

so Window extentension, there will be color things,

and you need to be connected to the net for this to work.

This little panel opens up.

Now the initial one is a bit boring,

it's this explore one that is quite exciting.

Can work exciting for me.

Can you see here, it is nothing but just a bunch of cool colors.

Scrolling down, scrolling down this and really cool stuff in here.

You can do searches in here,

finding something from the 80s,

have written, it'll do a search and that's some pretty successful 80s colors.

Cafe bank, actually popular brand like I'm from Oakland in New Zealand.

Weirdly, if you'd type in Oakland there's universities,

there's Council colors, so you can find all sorts in there.

If I can find obscure things from an Alton council,

then you can probably find maybe your brand and your corporate colors in there.

I'm going to get rid of it and I'm just actually going to go create,

and then back to explore.

Yeah, like just some cool colors,

you can say most popular this month or all time,

I'm going to go to all time and some cool colors. To use them.

The best way to use them is,

say you decide on this color here, phaedra.

Click on this little dotted line and say add to swatches.

Ignore this library's thing,

we'll look at him later on,

close that down as well.

Now what we can do is we can click on my ellipse,

and if you're using an earlier version of Photoshop,

often you still need to go back to any of these path tools,

and you can use the fill up here.

I'm using a new revision of Photoshop, so ellipse,

we can change it here as well, so click on it.

You'll see down the bottom here those are the five color swatches that we've added.

I can go you, you, you, you,

and just the way of I guess picking colors that are nice

and same with this ellipse color here I'm going to tune the opacity back up,

and I'm just going pick one of the colors.

It's still not quite working with my colors in the background here.

But what you'll find is it's just a neat way of busting out,

getting color options that you doing some logos or some designs or

web work and you just need to have like three color options for the client.

Go to Adobe Color Themes and just find some new stuff, I'm waffling.

Next thing I want to show you though,

is how to really steal colors from an image.

That can quite often be a nice way to differently match the colors because, yeah justice.

I'm going to have this front ellipse selected,

I'm going to click on this,

and nothing really needs to happen.

You need to click on this hue slider,

we're not really going to use this, just move him out of the way.

Then see little eyedropper?

We can start working through this.

The trouble is it doesn't update this automatically, it's picking the color,

which is cool, but it's not going through ends like at least click Okay, now we'll work.

I've picked the pink from it, I'm going to grab the green.

Same thing, click on the color swatch,

grab the hue slider,

and just move out here and I'm going to pick on the yellows,

or in this case an orange.

Now, other colors working for me?

I'm not that happy with them.

What I tend to do is say this color here,

I can use my same trick, pick a different color.

Say I pick something from here,

something a bit warmer.

What I want to do is maybe just drag this little circle down a bit to

get maybe something that is close to it, but maybe darker.

Darker that's being used in there,

you might find that works good for you.

I'm going to click on this one, do the same thing.

I liked that color.

I just wanted to be like a darker version of it and just drag it straight

down. I've made it ugly.

What I'm probably going to do is I'm going to play around now.

You can leave, we've learnt how to do little tricks.

Remember, Window extinctions, Adobe Color Themes pretty cool.

You can use the eyedropper tool,

we just need to have it selected and start stealing colors by clicking on this,

clicking on this, and you can just pick colors from there using that.

Great explanation done, let's hit Cancel.

I'm now just going to mess about picking colors that I like,

you can hang around if you like.

What I want to do is,

I don't like this color I like mud brown color, [inaudible].

With it selected, I'm going to go to this,

you don't have to click from just here, I'm going to click on this one.

Now the circles are the same colors,

but I want this top one to be like this green, I like that green.

I randomly picked it, but I think it compliments this all very nicely.

Eyedropper too, click Okay.

Yeah, I'm happy enough with it.

One thing though, if you're dealing with corporate colors,

and you can click on this and just type them in here.

Hopefully you've got like a corporate speak manual somewhere.

Ask the marketing department if you are

the marketing department and you have no idea what the color is,

input the logo and just use the same thing.

Use the eyedropper to steal the color from the logo.

It's not exact, but it could work and,

or type in the RGB colors or the CMYK colors if you can find them.

I'm going to hit Cancel, I am done.

That is the end of the video.

Let's get into the next one. Bye now.
