Color is a personal experience that occurs in our brains and therefore cannot be easily measured outside of ourselves, which is why it takes confidence to use color - but when color relationships are painted well, others can relate to the experience of light. Value is a system of measurement like anatomy and perspective. It’s like saying the skeleton does the work and the body gets the credit. A dark color next to a light color creates a strong value contrast two adjacent colors of the same value can also create contrast, such as in the persimmon painting (more on that below). That pile of yellow paint on your palette has a value, the green lawn you’re painting has a value, the white dress on the model has a value. An artist needs to be able to judge color relationships as a whole, including value, or risk getting bogged down in minutiae. Apart from a value study, values don’t exist independently of color. While I’m not downplaying the use of value in designing a painting, it’s also important to understand that those contrasts correspond to colors. To get to the point of the quote, dark and light contrasts are what draw our eye the most and create a visual structure, a composition that guides how we look at a painting. If you get the color right, the value will be right. Given how often this quote appears in art books, magazines, and blogs related to painting, the confusion is understandable. When you do a value study, you’re looking only at the relative light and dark qualities of what’s in front of you - ignoring all the other qualities of color. When we talk about value we’re indirectly talking about the lightness or darkness of color. But what is value? Value is the relative light or dark quality of a color, but they’re part of the same thing. For purposes of discussion and study in art we can separate value from color, and it’s very important to be able to judge values. The way this anonymous quote is phrased contributes to a misunderstanding of color. The Mac OS and Linux versions of System Shock 2 use a technology called "WINE" to function on those operating systems."Value and composition do the work and color gets the credit."
