Mixing Colors Over the centuries colors have been mixed according to three different systems _________________: the process of mixing pigments together _________________: the process of mixing colored light _________________: based on the viewer’s reaction to colors when they are placed next to each other

Color Wheels Color arrangements or structures that enable us to organize and predict such color reactions and interactions There are _____ different color wheels Many artists find they have to use several different wheels to produce one painting

The Pigment Wheel The basis for working with __________ color Its primary colors are _____, ____________, and _________ These are colors that cannot be obtained by mixing We mix these primary colors to get _______________ colors

When a primary color and an adjacent secondary are mixed, ______________ colors are the result: Red + Orange = _______________ Orange + Yellow = _____________ Yellow + Green = ______________ Green + Blue = ________________ Blue + Violet = ________________ Violet + Red =_________________

Keep In Mind Mixing the three primary colors will give you ________ The secondary and tertiary hues are ________________________________ Mixing equal amounts of yellow and blue together will result in a green that is more yellow-green than green because yellow is stronger than green

The Process Wheel Gives us three basic primaries - ________, _____________, and _________ - that do, upon mixing, result in purer hues This is the standard color wheel used in printing and photography Yellow + Cyan = ___________ Cyan + Magenta = __________ Magenta + Yellow = ___________

The resulting _____________ colors from the process wheel will be as follows Yellow + Green = ______________ Green + Cyan = ________________ Cyan + Violet = ________________ Violet + Magenta = _____________ Magenta + Orange = _________ Orange + Yellow = ____________ Mixing the three primaries together gives us __________

The Munsell Wheel Based on _____ primary hues or principal colors These primaries are based on ___________ perception Munsell set up each afterimage as a compliment to his principal hues

Afterimage This is the color we see after staring at a hue and then shifting our eyes to a white surface The second hue is termed the afterimage If we stare at a red dot, the resulting afterimage will be ____________

Munsell Arrangement Complimentary combinations of yellow and _______________ red and ________________ Green and _____________ Violet and ________________ He further systematized the color wheel into a three-dimensional form he termed a _______

Light Wheel Based on the ___________ color system and provides information concerning __________________ and ____________________. Primary colors that form other hues are __________, ___________ and _____. Secondaries are yellow, cyan and magenta.

Visual Wheel Grew out of work done by ___________________________ on complementary colors The forerunner of the concept of ___________ color theory and was used in a ____________ as well as a _______________ manner Primary colors are ______, __________, ___________, and ___________
