2
What is color anyway? › Color is an element of art › Color is produced by the way our vision responds to different wavelengths of light.
3
The Spectrum When a ray of light passes through a prism and is broken up into bands of color.
4
Neutrals are created by different amounts of light 3 Neutrals are: › black › white › gray
5
Color is an Element of art with three properties; › Hue › Intensity › Value
6
Hue › The name of the color For example red, yellow, blue
7
Intensity › The strength, brightness, or purity of a color. › Changing a color’s value can change its intensity.
8
Value › The lightness or darkness of the color.
9
Tints › The light values of a color. › In painting, they can be achieved by adding white to a hue. Baby blue Pink Shade › The dark values of a color. › In painting, shades can be achieved through mixing black with a color. Navy Blue Burgundy
10
When the spectrum is organized as a color wheel, the colors are divided into groups or harmonies. Some of these groups are: › Primary colors › Secondary colors › Tertiary colors › Analogous colors › Complimentary colors
12
ALL colors begin with the primaries. Primary colors are the three colors that cannot be achieved through mixing. They are pure and are the basis of the color wheel. These primary colors are: › RED › BLUE › YELLOW
13
Secondary colors are those colors that are achieved through mixing any two of the primaries together. The secondary colors are: › Orange › Green › Purple
14
Tertiary colors result from the equal mixture of a primary color with a secondary color adjacent to it on a color wheel. Tertiary colors are: › Red Orange › Yellow Orange › Yellow Green › Blue Green › Blue Violet › Red Violet
15
Combinations of color that can be defined by their positions on the color wheel. These color typically work well together. Some examples are: › Monochromatic › Analogous › Complementary colors › Triadic › Split Complementary › Warm Colors › Cool Colors
17
When only one hue, plus black and white, is used in an artwork.
18
Two or more colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. They have one color in common. For example, blue, blue-green, and green all have the color blue in common and are therefore analogous to each other.
19
Complementary colors › Colors that are directly opposite of each other on the color wheel › Complementary colors to each other are: Red and Green Blue and Orange Violet and Yellow › When complements are mixed together they form the neutral colors of brown or gray.
23
A triadic color scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel.
24
A split complementary includes 3 colors. One is on the opposite side of two that are adjacent to the direct opposite (i.e. green, red orange, and red violet)
25
Warm colors are vivid and energetic, and tend to advance in space. Possible emotions: passionate, optimistic, excited, angry, violent. Examples are the 6 colors: Yellow, yellow- orange, orange, red-orange, red, and red-violet.
26
Earthy colors that are calm and soothing. Possible emotions: sad, impersonal, and relaxed Examples: Violet, blue-violet, blue, blue- green, green, and yellow-green
