6. Color can be described by its hue
This HUE is red.

definition
Hue:
The actual color, or the identity of a color, such as red.

8. Color can be described by its Intensity
This red is brighter, louder, more intense than

9. Intensity: is the brightness or dullness (grayness) of a color
definition

is the brightness or dullness (grayness) of a color
is a color’s strength, saturation, purity. The "noise" it makes.
A Pure Hue has the highest saturation and intensity of a color.

10. Color can be described by its Value:
This is a lighter value of red
This is a darker value of red

11. Value: The lightness or darkness of a color
definition
Value:
The lightness or darkness of a color
Different values of a color range from very light to very dark (tints and shades).

12. definition
Value - Tints
Adding white will lighten a hue or raise its value. This is called a tint.
Red hue white = Tint (pink)

13. definition
Value - Shades
Adding black will darken a hue or lower its value. This is called a shade.
Red hue black = shade (maroon)

14. Color can be described by its Temperature:
Colors give different feelings of warmth and coolness.
The color wheel can be divided into two sides -
the warm colors and
the cool colors.

15. Temperature: •Warm colors look and feel warm.
definition
Temperature:
•Warm colors look and feel warm.
Yellows, oranges, reds
Cool colors look and feel cool.
Blues, greens, violets

16. Temperature: The warm colors remind us of fire, and sunshine.
As a group, they convey energy and action, and are perceived as being closer to the viewer.

17. Temperature: The cool colors remind us of cool water and green grass
As a group, they convey peace and tranquility, and are perceived as being farther from the viewer.

18. Color Harmony can be defined as a pleasing combination of colors.
definition
Color Harmony can be defined as a pleasing combination of colors.
Combined Colors can be described as Harmonious

19. Color Harmony based on Monochromatic Color Scheme
Analogous Color Scheme
Complementary Color Scheme

20. Monochromatic Color Scheme
Harmony
definition
Monochromatic Color Scheme
Mono = one, single . . .as in monorail
Chroma = color
thus monochromatic = One color.
This scheme may be achieved using tints and shades of one hue.

21. Analogous Color schemes
Harmony
definition
Analogous Color schemes
Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. Colors with a family resemblance.

22. Complementary Color schemes
Harmony
definition
Complementary Color schemes
Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel; ex. red and green, violet and yellow, yellow-green and red-violet etc.

23. Complementary Color schemes
Harmony
Complementary Color schemes
When mixed together in near equal amounts, complements make a neutral color.

24. Complementary Color schemes
Harmony
Complementary Color schemes
If a little of a hue’s complement is mixed in with it, the result will be a dulling or neutralizing of that hues intensity.

25. Split Complement Color schemes
Harmony
definition
Split Complement Color schemes
Three colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel,
but to either side of the
exact opposite (complement);
Example:
red, blue-green, & yellow-green
green

26. Triadic Color schemes Colors that are equally spaced.
Harmony
definition
Triadic Color schemes
Colors that are equally spaced.
The most famous of these is
the primary triad . . .
red, yellow, and blue.
Triadic harmonies are most effective
if only one color is
allowed to dominate.

27. Assignment
Create and paint a color strip for each of the following color schemes and label each.
Monochromatic color scheme (5)
Analogous color scheme (3)
Complementary color scheme (5)
Split Complement color scheme (3)

28. Rubric Correct colors for the scheme, and all schemes are labeled.
Correct color mixing.
