#poll imagine the first color that comes to mind for "brown". if you were to amplify the saturation and lightness of that color, what hue would appear? select the range of hues that feels most representative of that hue
@aeva "UPS - What can brown do for hue?"
@aeva I would say green probably, but I'm color blind
@oblomov that's ok, the only qualification my poll requires is having an opinion on how you conceptualize an archetypal color relative to the color wheel. you don't need to be able to see any of these colors. it would be disappointing if there was a correct answer
@oblomov incidentally my answer contradicts the leading option so far
@aeva Instructions unclear, brown is unclear, changing colours in my head is unclear, everything is unclear, I have aphantasia.
@sverik I suggest picking option 4. Being able to imagine the color would help less than you'd expect without a robust mental model of color geometry, and this is also a bit of a nonsense question because brown approaches being achromatic and be many different hues. I have a vivid mind's eye, but I used to have a hard time finding it in hsl/hsv/rgb color pickers because the mental I developed for working with color in art school was incompatible because it was entirely based on oil painting.
@aeva Well, if you're adding saturation an lightness to that color you will very much end up with orange, then an desaturated orangeish red (somewhat skin colored), then a pale pink, then white. But that's because my mental model is essentially a YM7101 VDP
If you were using pigment you probably would need to do some subtractive shenanigans but it would follow a latte-type coloring before going into magenta/yellow
