This is where I part company somewhat.
Black and white is intellectual, color is emotional.
You CAN learn color scales and values to SOME extent, but I have never seen a good colorist who has simply LEARNED color. It is after the bacics are learned, ie: complementaries etc. that real color understanding comes in, it becomes a process of the unconscious.
It is the difference between a Van Cliburn, and a church pianist, both of them knows where the keys are, have learned the scales, etc., but only one soars, and that is not just from the intellect.
