What do those letters and numbers on the caps mean and how do I use that to pick good color blends?

It's easy to pick good blends once you figure out the coloring/numbering system.  Here are the basics...


•Broad Classification (Letter) - Color family.  The basic hue.

B - Blue                     BV - Blue Violet                    V - Violet                  

RV - Red Violet           R - Red                                YR - Yellow Red

Y - Yellow                  YG - Yellow Green                G - Green                              

BG - Blue Green         E - Earths                             C - Cool Grays       

N - Natural Grays       T - Toner Grays                     W - Warm Grays      


•Intermediate Classification (First Number) - Color Saturation.  Lower numbers are vibrant; higher
numbers have more gray.


•Specific Classification (Second Number) - Color Brightness.  Lower numbers are light and the higher
numbers are dark.


How to pick blending colors:
1. Match the color letters, keeping the color family the same.
2. Match the color saturation number.  This will keep the tone the same.
3. Pick color brightness numbers within 2-3 digits from each other.  Use 0,1,2,3’s for highlights; for mid
tones use 4,5,6’s; and use 7,8,9’s for shadows.  
4. Using more colors helps to achieve a smoother blend and adds more contrast.


You can also blend outside the color families:
1. Pick colors that have similar numbers but different letters.
2. Keep the color families near each other on the color wheel.
