Color Theory
3
DESIGN’S MOST EXCITING ELEMENT!
4
1. Hue 2. Value 3. Intensity
5
RED YELLOW BLUE ORANGE GREEN VIOLET H UE :
6
the lightness or darkness of a color
7
HUE WHITE TINT + = T INT :
8
HUE BLACK SHADE + = ADDING BLACK TO A COLOR
9
The brightness or dullness of a color; also called saturation. FUSCHIA = HIGH INTENSITY OLIVE = LOW INTENSITY
10
The color wheel is a means of organizing the colors in the spectrum. The color wheel consists of 12 sections, each containing one hue.
11
Pure and basic - cannot be made from any other colors All other colors are made from these Equal distance from each other on color wheel RED YELLOW BLUE
12
Made by mixing equal amounts of 2 primary colors Found halfway between the primary hues on the wheel + = + + = = ORANGE GREEN VIOLET
13
This color scheme combines three colors equally spaced out to form a triangle on the color wheel.
14
They form a triangle on the color wheel. red yellow blue
15
THE SECONDARY COLOR TRIAD They form a triangle on the color wheel. orangegreen violet
16
Made by mixing primary and secondary colors. Blue Red Yellow Green Violet Orange Yellow-Orange Yellow-Green Blue-Green Blue-Violet Red-Violet Red-Orange
17
These colors are yellow- orange, yellow-green, blue- green, blue-violet, red- orange, red-violet Primary + Secondary = Tertiary yellow + orange = yellow-orange Yellow orange Red orange Red violet Blue violet Blue green Yellow green
18
This color scheme uses any hue opposite one another on the color wheel. Complementary colors are dynamic duos and create energy and contrast when put together. Mixing Complimentary Colors will give you different kinds of browns. Complimentarys: Yellow & Violet Red & Green Blue & Orange
19
This color scheme uses related, or neighboring colors on the color wheel with varying values and intensities of the colors. Red-violet violet blue-violet
20
Analagous colors are at least 3 colors that sit side by side on a color wheel and have one common hue. Example- yellow, yellow-orange, orange An analogous color scheme cannot have two primary colors in its scheme because the primary colors have nothing in common Yellow Yellow Orange Orange Red Orange
21
Analogous colors usually match well and create serene and comfortable designs.
22
This is a color scheme that uses different tints, shades and intensities of only one hue. Mono =One Chroma = Color Blue Blue+white Blue+black
25
A value scale is a scale of grays running from black to white.
26
White Black Gray Brown Neutral Colors are those colors not found on the color wheel but are mixed by other colors on the color wheel.
27
The color wheel can be divided into warm and cool colors

29
Remind us of water, sky, or ice Give feelings of tranquility and peacefulness, as well as sadness and despair Appear to recede
30
You will be creating a color theory painting using several of these color schemes The color schemes you must include are: Color Wheel Value Scale (Gray or Color) Complementary colors Analogous colors You may do a painting of whatever you like and you may organize the color schemes in any way you choose
