Study Notes
Color Theories in Design
- Numerous attempts have been undertaken to establish methodologies for evaluating color combinations.
- Main color theories include: Munsell System, Natural Color System (NCS) and Pantone Color System.
- Additional color systems have been developed.
Munsell System
- Albert Munsell developed a three-dimensional model of color analysis.
- Analysis is based on the methodology for each color's hue, value, and chroma.
- Key components include:
- Hue: Arranged around the perimeter of a sphere.
- Value: Changes from the top (light) to the bottom pole (dark).
- Chroma: Moves toward the center.
- The system is based on five principal hues and five intermediate hues.
- The ten major hues are arranged horizontally in a circle.
- A specific color can be identified with a hue, value, or chroma (H V/C).
- Colors in the system can be defined with a numerical scale for HVC.
- Red, for example, would be represented as (5R 6/12):
- (5) is the hue (red).
- (6) is the value.
- (12) is the chroma.
Natural Color System (NCS)
- NCS states that there are six elementary color percepts of human vision, with the psychological primaries often proposed by the hypothesis of color opponency.
- These primaries are white, black, red, yellow, green, and blue.
- The last four are called unique hues.
- All six are defined as elementary colors.
Pantone Color System
- Pantone provides interior designers a way to specify, communicate, and manage color choices for various materials used in architecture and interiors.
- The majority of Pantone colors are generated with thirteen base pigments.
- Each unique color is labeled via a number, reducing the chance of color inconsistencies.
- The Pantone colors palette includes over 1,800 different colors.
Mixing Colors
- Two categories include: additive colors and subtractive colors.
Additive Colors
- Produced by combining wavelengths of red, green, and blue (RGB).
- Light or additive primaries contain all the wavelengths needed to produce white light.
- Applicable in lighting, such as theater lighting to produce different colors.
- Utilized for there presentation of colored images in electronic systems.
- Including televisions, computers, cellphones, web colors, and video projectors and similar items.
- Additive color devices produce images composed of red, green, and blue light.
Subtractive Colors
- Produced by mixing cyan, yellow, and magenta pigments, dyes, or other colorants.
- Each absorbs certain wavelengths.
- A balanced mixture of these colorants or subtractive primaries theoretically yields black.
- Black results as all wavelengths of visible light are absorbed.
- The CMY (cyan, magenta, yellow) color model is a subtractive model used in color printing and painting.
