In terms of art, color refers to reflected light. TheVirtualInstructor.com
5
The Color Wheel Color Theory consists of three distinct parts. Color Values Color Schemes TheVirtualInstructor.com
6
Part One - The Color Wheel TheVirtualInstructor.com
7
The Color Wheel is the color spectrum bent into a circle. TheVirtualInstructor.com
8
Specific colors on the color wheel have specific designations. TheVirtualInstructor.com
9
Red, yellow, and blue are primary colors. These colors are called primary because they are used to mix all of the other colors in existence. TheVirtualInstructor.com
10
Red, yellow, and blue are formed by pigment and cannot be made by mixing any colors together. TheVirtualInstructor.com
11
Secondary colors are colors that are created by mixing equal parts of two primary colors. These colors are orange, green, and violet (purple). TheVirtualInstructor.com
12
Tertiary or intermediate colors are created by mixing equal parts of a secondary color with a primary color. TheVirtualInstructor.com
13
These colors are red-orange, yellow-orange, red-violet, blue- violet, blue-green, and yellow-green. Tertiary colors are named according to the colors that are used to mix them, listing the primary color first. TheVirtualInstructor.com
14
Part Two - Color Values TheVirtualInstructor.com
15
Color value refers to the darkness or lightness of a color. TheVirtualInstructor.com
16
When neutral colors (and/or complimentary colors) are mixed with colors on the color wheel, the value and/or intensity of the color is affected. TheVirtualInstructor.com
17
Tints are lighter values of color and are created by adding white to a color. Text TheVirtualInstructor.com Color + White = Tint
18
Shades are darker values of color and are created by adding black to a color. TheVirtualInstructor.com A Color + Black = a Shade
19
Each color (hue), when mixed with white or black can produce a full range of value. TheVirtualInstructor.com
20
Intensity, although related to value is slightly different. Color intensity is adjusted by adding a color’s compliment (or gray) to the hue. TheVirtualInstructor.com Any color + its complement = a Tone
21
Part Three - Color Schemes TheVirtualInstructor.com
22
Color schemes are systematic ways that colors are put together in artworks according to their arrangement on the color wheel. Knowledge of arrangements of colors or schemes can help an artist make informed decisions about color in their own artworks. TheVirtualInstructor.com
23
Monochromatic schemes consist of just one color and the tints and shades (values) of that color. TheVirtualInstructor.com
24
“Mono” means one and “chroma” refers to color. Monochromatic literally means “one color”. TheVirtualInstructor.com
25
Colors that are directly across from each other on the color wheel are complementary. Complementary colors provide high contrast. TheVirtualInstructor.com
26
Analogous color schemes consist of 3-5 colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. Analogous schemes provide harmonious color arrangements in drawings and paintings. TheVirtualInstructor.com
27
A color triad consists of three colors that are equal in distance from each other on the color wheel. Color triads provide a high level of contrast using three colors. TheVirtualInstructor.com
28
A color tetrad consists of four colors that are equal in distance from each other. A color tetrad is created by using two sets of complementary colors. TheVirtualInstructor.com
29
Split complementary color schemes consist of a color and that color’s closest analogous colors. Split complementary schemes provide high contrast while allowing more variety than a complementary color scheme. TheVirtualInstructor.com
30
Color also has temperature. Cool colors are colors that we typically associate with things that are cold. TheVirtualInstructor.com
31
Warm colors are colors that we associate with things that are warm or hot. TheVirtualInstructor.com
