Study Notes
Color Property
- Color is a property of objects, dependent on the reflection, transmission, and emission of light waves.
Color Characteristics
- Each color has a specific wavelength, perceivable by the human eye, within a certain range.
- Colors with a higher wavelength are called infrared, while those with a lower wavelength are called ultraviolet.
Color Perception
- Warm colors are perceived as closer, while cool colors are perceived as more distant.
- Light colors appear to enlarge objects, while dark colors appear to shrink them.
Color Theory in Fashion
- The choice of color, or color palette, is crucial in fashion design.
- Knowledge of color theory is essential to combine colors properly.
Color Wheel
- The color wheel is a circular representation of colors, divided into twelve sections, like a watch.
- Each section represents a different color.
Primary Colors
- The three primary colors are red, blue, and yellow.
- Primary colors are the base colors used to create all other colors.
- They form the points of a triangle.
Secondary Colors
- Secondary colors are created by mixing primary colors.
