All About

Then host Alex Anderson gives a tutorial on how to differentiate color value, explaining that color value has more to do with sorting your colors by "medium," "light," and "dark" as opposed to more traditional sorting by color—blues, yellows, greens, etc. Getting a good contrast is as simple as picking from the light and dark piles consistently.
