Types of Colour Theories Subtractive Theory The subtractive, or pigment theory deals with how white light is absorbed and reflected off of coloured surfaces. Additive Theory The Additive, or light theory deals with radiated and filtered light.

Subtractive Theory Black absorbs most light White reflects most light Coloured Pigments absorb light and reflect only the frequency of the pigment colour. All colours other than the pigment colours are absorbed so this is called subtractive colour theory. The primary colours in Subtractive Theory are: Cyan ( C ) Magenta ( M ) Yellow ( Y ) Black ( K ) Subtractive or Pigment Theory is used in printing and painting.

Additive Theory The primary colours add together to make white Black radiates no light White (sun) radiates all light Video is the process of capturing and radiating light, therefore it uses Additive (Light) Theory not Subtractive (Pigment) Theory. The primary colours in Additive Theory are: Red ( R ) Green ( G ) Blue ( B ) The primary colours add together to make white Light Theory is also called Additive Theory. Light Theory is used in Television, theater lighting, computer monitors, and video production.

The Visible Spectrum

The Colour Wheel If the ends of the spectrum are bent around a colour wheel is formed:

The Colour Wheel Colours on the wheel can be described using three parameters: Hue: degrees from 0˚ to 360˚ Saturation: brightness or dullness Value: lightness or darkness (As suggested by Henry Albert Munsell in A Colour Notation, 1905)

The Colour Wheel: Hue Hue or Spectral Colour is represented as an angle. Primary Colours: 0˚ = Red 120˚ = Green 240˚ = Blue Secondary Colours: 60˚ = Yellow 180˚ = Cyan 300˚ = Magenta

The Colour Wheel: Saturation Saturation or Chroma is the intensity of a colour. A highly saturated colour is bright and appears closer to the edge of the wheel. A more unsaturated colour is dull. A colour with no saturation is achromatic or in the grey scale.

The Colour Wheel: Value "the quality by which we distinguish a light colour from a dark one." Albert Henry Munsell A Colour Notation 1905 Value represents the luminescent contrast value between black and white
