Study Notes
Color Theory
- Color is a fundamental element in art.
- Light is composed of various colors.
- Visible light spectrum includes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
- Color can create the illusion of three dimensions.
Additive Mixing
- Additive mixing describes how colors are created from light.
- Primary colors in light are red, green, and blue.
- Mixing these in equal amounts creates white.
- This effect is used in theater lighting, television, and computer displays.
Subtractive Mixing
- Subtractive mixing describes how colors are created from pigments (like paint).
- Primary colors in pigments are red, yellow, and blue.
- Mixing these in equal amounts creates black.
- Mixing different pigments results in different colors.
Primary Colors
- Primary colors are the fundamental colors.
- Red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors.
- They cannot be created by mixing other colors.
Secondary Colors
- Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors.
- The secondary colors are orange, green, and purple (violet).
Tertiary Colors
- Tertiary colors are created by mixing a primary and a secondary color.
- Examples include red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red-violet.
