COLOR THEORY

COLOR Color is produced when light strikes an object and reflects back in your eyes. This element of art has three properties: HUE VALUE INTENSITY

Hue -the name of a color (ex Hue -the name of a color (ex. – red-yellow, yellow-green, Blue-green, etc..)

Intensity -the purity and strength of a color (ex- bright red or dull red) Saturated Unsaturated

VALUE – Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. Colors mixed with white are called tints. Pink is a tint of red. Colors mixed with black are called shades. Burgundy is a shade of red.

Value vs Intensity

Monochromatic Colors Objects that use only one color and the tints and shades of that color are called monochromatic (one=mono; color=chromatic).

Color Wheel An arrangement of colors in a circular format The color wheel was created in the 1666 by Sir Isaac Newton.

Goethe’ s color wheel from his 1810 Theory of Colours

Primary colors: colors that cannot be made from any other colors: red, yellow, blue Secondary Colors: colors that are exact mixes 50/50 of 2 primary colors (orange, green, purple) Tertiary Colors: The combination of a primary color with a secondary color, Tertiary colors are also known as intermediate colors Types of Color

Analogous Colors: colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, similar or related colors they tend to blend together Complimentary Colors: colors that are opposite each other on the colors wheel, they tend to stand out from each other

Warm vs. Cool Colors Warm Colors: Colors such as red, yellow, and orange. These colors evoke warmth because they remind us of things like the sun or fire. Cool Colors: Colors like blue, green, and purple (violet). These colors evoke a cool feeling because they remind us of things like water or grass

Warm colors are often said to be hues from red through yellow, browns and tans included; cool colors are often said to be the hues from blue green through blue violet, most grays included.

Color Context How color behaves in relation to other colors and shapes is a complex area of color theory. Compare the contrast effects of different color backgrounds for the same red square.
