An Introduction to the Color Wheel and Color Theory

The Color Wheel The color wheel shows relationships between the colors. Artists often use the color wheel to help understand how colors relate to one another.

The Color Wheel Let’s learn about Color! Primary, Secondary, & Tertiary Colors Warm Colors Cool Colors Neutrals Color Schemes Monochromatic, Complementary, & Analogous Mixing Colors Color Meaning Advanced Color Theory Hue, Intensity, & Value Color Wheel Web Links

COLOR MIXING It's easy to mix paints to make new colors. You can use the primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) plus black and white to get all of the colors of the rainbow!

COLOR MIXING Primary + Secondary When you mix the Primary Colors together, you get the Secondary Colors. What colors do these make? Red + Yellow = Orange Red + Blue = Purple Blue + Yellow = Green

COLOR MIXING Tints and Shades Making Tints and Shades A shade of color is made by mixing that color with black. A tint of color is made by mixing that color with white.

Hue Hue refers to the name of a color.  For example red, blue, and purple are hues.

The Color Wheel Primary Colors Secondary Colors Tertiary Colors

Primary Colors The primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. Primary colors cannot be made from other colors.

Secondary Colors The secondary colors are orange, green, and purple. Secondary colors are made from mixing the primary colors.

Tertiary Colors Mixing primary and secondary colors creates tertiary colors. Tertiary colors include: Red-Violet Blue-Violet Blue-Green Yellow Green Red-Orange Yellow-Orange On the color wheel, the tertiary colors are located between the primary and secondary colors they are made from.

Warm Colors The warm colors are red, orange, yellow, and anything in between. They are called warm because they remind you of the sun or fire. Warm colors seem to come out at you in space.

Warm Colors Cool Colors The Cool colors are blue, green, purple and anything in between. They are called cool because they remind you of the earth or a cool creek. Cool colors seem to recede from you in space. Return to Main Page NEXT

Neutrals Neutrals don't usually show up on the color wheel. Neutrals include black, white, gray, and sometimes brown and beige. They are sometimes called “earth tones.” There are a few different ways to make neutrals. You can blend black and white to make gray. You can create brown in two ways—by blending two complementary colors together or by blending all three primary colors together.

Monochromatic Colors A monochromatic scheme consists of different values (tints and shades) of a single color. An example of a monochrome color scheme could include any color mixed with white or black. The example above is a green monochromatic color scheme. A shade of green is made by mixing green and black. A tint of green is made by mixing green and white.

Analogous Colors These colors are located next to each other on the wheel, such as: Blue, Blue-green, Green Red, Red-Orange, and Orange Analogous colors are sometimes called harmonious colors.

Complementary Colors Complementary colors are the colors that are directly across from each other on the color wheel Blue & Orange Red & Green Purple & Yellow

Color Advanced Color Theory An element of art which has three properties.  1) Hue, which is the name of a color. For example, red, yellow, blue are hues.   2) Intensity, which refers to the brightness and purity of a color.  For example, bright red or dull red.   3) Value, which refers to the lightness or darkness of a color.
