Properties of Color

2. Hue is the term for the pure spectrum colors which appear in a rainbow or the Primary Color Wheel. Hues are commonly referred to by the "color names” – yellow, orange, red, violet (or purple), blue, and green.
The Primary Color Wheel
is made up of twelve colors which
progress around the wheel in
gradual increments.

3. Primary Color Wheel Primary Colors (A): Yellow, Blue and Red
These three Primary Colors are
blended together to produce other
colors called Secondary Colors (B):
• Yellow + Red = Orange
• Red + Blue = Violet (or Purple)
• Blue + Yellow = Green
When you combine a Primary Color
with a Secondary Color, you produce
a Tertiary Color (C). Some of these
include:
• Red + Orange = Red Orange
• Yellow + Green = Yellow Green
• Red + Violet (Purple) = Red Violet A C C B B C C A A C C B

4. Color Value refers to the lightness or darkness of the hue.

5. Tint: adding white to a hue/color.
A tint is lighter than the original hue. It’s sometimes called “pastel.”
