While we have generally explored the concept of the Value Scale and its relationship to Lights, Mids and Darks, it is now time to get more specific with that information, and to provide some examples of how to sequence our color choices for a particular effect.

While this may be a very anal way of looking at the Artist Sequences, but as I played with sequencing different artistic styles (Monet, Rembrandt, El Greco, Turner and da Vinci) with the various color patterns (Complimentary, Split Comps, Analogous, Triads, Tetrads and Dyads) that the Saturation and Brightness values (Photoshop terminology) tended to fall within a point or two of one another irrespective of the pure color used. This led me to analytically (Yeah I know... left brain detour, but after doing the initial work by eye) to choose some numbers which seem to work each time I apply them. The only color I had to tweak by eye afterward was the Gray field for the Da Vinci sequences.
