   >Alizarin crimson is a deep red color with a blue undertone.
   Art people, please explain this nonsense to me.

     Colors are a subtle magic, and it is the sub hues and saturations are the tricks of the trade.
     
     Example:
     
     Alizarin Crimson + Pthalo (or Viridian) Green = Impressionist "black"
     
     I NEVER used "black" since it is so dead. Impressionist black and specifically the control over the green and red lets you control whether you have a cold or a warm "black"

     Basically, You mix pigments and it creates "undertones". Like when you add a dash of green to let's say yellow. You won't immediately see the green but your body will register it, it creates some deeper slight greenish hue

     @missjanedoe So is this going off of what @IlDuWuce said and it's like a "cool" red?

     I was starting to get into natural dyes and such. Madder can make a plethora of shades. The most interesting thing to me about color theory is how a slight shade shift can change the entire use of the color, a warm red vs a cool red. I remember my color theory professor always made us keep a warm and cool of each primary. He was very persnickety. lol

     @Zardoz This is very neat to me. I think the thing that caught my brain was [primary color] with [other primary color] as undertone.

     The master utilizes the subtle shades of color (or flavor). The enjoyer is one who can discern, without understanding the mechanics...
     
     This is art.

     @Zardoz @BowsacNoodle Serious cooking is much the same way. Layers of flavor
