What is Blending?
Blending is a fundamental concept in the world of color. It's not just about tossing colors together and hoping for the best, it's an art form.
Imagine you're at a rave, and you're feeling the beat, but your favorite color, a deep shade of blue, is not feeling the beat. You take a dash of that blue and blend it with some wild, electric pink, and voilà! You've got a color that's off the charts!
Types of Blending:
- Linear Blending: Where colors are added together in a smooth, linear progression.
- Clipping Blending: Where colors clash in a beautiful, chaotic mess.
- Color Burn Blending: Where colors are burned to a crisp, leaving only a faint smudge of their former selves.
