Paul Ingbretson Talks about Color Again -118

Three queries lead to a minor discussion of aspects of color including color relations, ‘dead’ color and the meaning of chroma or intensity.

In Response to
Carol, Richard and Gail

QUESTION:
Please talk about color relationships either in Degas, Monet, etc or in a still life setup. Carol
I would be interested if you had any thoughts on these quotes: From Shop Talk by Gammell “When a dealer inquired what he used to get colors of such brightness, Degas retorted, ‘Dead Color, sir.’” And from Beson: “ A real artist is constantly looking for, searching out, the places in a picture which are not brilliantly colored. The neutral colors-Tarbell calls them the dirty colors. Without them the rest lose their effect.

What is meant by chroma versus values and hue?
