Study Notes
Light
- Light is a form of electromagnetic energy
- Light comes in various wavelengths
- This variability results in visible and invisible light
Visible Light
- Visible light is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can perceive
- Typically ranges from violet to red
Invisible Light
- Invisible light encompasses electromagnetic radiation beyond the visible spectrum
- Includes ultraviolet and infrared
What is Colour?
- Color is a fundamental aspect of visual perception
- Color is a form of electromagnetic radiation between 380-780 nanometers
- Humans perceive color through their eyes and brain
- Colors are represented by hues, saturations, and lightness levels
What a 'Colour' can do?
- Influence spatial perception and ambiance
- Evoke emotions and psychological responses
- Create visual hierarchy and emphasis
- Connect to cultural, historical, and contextual references
- Interact with natural and artificial light sources
- Affect the perceived size, shape, and texture of spaces and forms
What is Colour System?
- Color systems are used to effectively communicate about color
- They graphically organize all possible color percepts
- Notate the relationships of colors in a quantitative way
- Enables accurate specification and matching of colors in science, art, and industry
Munsell Colour Theory
- Developed by Albert H Munsell in 1898
- Organises Sir Isaac Newton's discoveries
- Widely acknowledged and endorsed
- Embraced by artists and colorists worldwide
- Three-Dimensional Space: represented as a 3D space
- Axes for Hue, Value, and Chroma
- Comprehensive Understanding: enables a deep understanding of color relationships
Munsell Colour Theory (Notation)
- Uniquely identifies each color
- Combination of letters and numbers (hue, value, & chroma)
- Examples: 5YR 6/8 (hue of 5YR, value of 6, and chroma of 8)
Hue
- The actual color, enabling distinct identification by name
- Arranged in a circular pattern, forming a spectrum
- Primary hues (red, yellow, green, blue, & purple) are positioned around the circle
- Intermediate hues connect and make a gradual bridging of the gaps between primary hues
Hue Cycle
- Munsell organized hues in a circular format
- 10 major hue sectors: R, YR, Y, GY, G, BG, B, PB, P, and RP
- Each hue sector is further divided into sub-sectors (e.g., R1, R2, R10).
Chroma
- Measures the brightness or dullness of a color
- Ranges from bright (high chroma) to dull (low chroma) (or saturation)
- Saturation or intensity: measures the purity or vividness of a color
Chroma Scale
- Ranges from 0 (neutral gray) to 16 (maximum chroma)
- Higher numbers indicate more vivid colors
Value
- Represents the lightness or darkness of a color
- Ranges from pure black (minimum value) to pure white (maximum value)
- Munsell System: scale from 0 to 10:0 is black, 5 is middle gray, 10 is white
Value Scale
- The Munsell system uses a scale from 0 to 10
- 0 is black, 5 is middle gray, and 10 is white
- Variations of colors with same hue can be represented by different values
Tints
- Lightened colors achieved by adding white
- Process softens the color, resulting in a delicate, pastel-like shade
Shades
- Darkened colors achieved by adding black
- Results in a darker and more subdued version of the original hue
Tones
- Created by adding black and white to a pure color
- Desaturates the color, making it more muted and less intense, similar to graying down
Classification of Colors
- Primary, secondary, and tertiary colors
- Developed by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in his book "Theory of Colors"
Primary Colors
- Red, blue, and yellow
- Fundamental hues, cannot be created by mixing other colors
Secondary Colors
- Orange, green, and violet
- Formed by mixing two primary colors
Tertiary Colors
- Formed by mixing a primary color with an adjacent secondary color
- Examples: Red-orange, Yellow-orange, Yellow-green, Blue-green, Blue-violet, and Red-violet.
Color Wheel
- Circular arrangement of colors based on the blending of hues
- Categorizes colors as primary, secondary, and tertiary
Traditional Color Schemes
- Monochromatic
- Achromatic
- Complementary
- Analogous
- Triadic
- Split-Complementary
- Tetradic
Color Temperature
- Describes the warmth or coolness of a color
- Typically expressed in Kelvin (K)
- Ranges from warm (red, orange, and yellow) to cool (blue, green, and purple)
Warm Colors
- Evoke feelings of warmth, energy and vibrancy
- Typically associated with sunlight, fire, and heat
- Include reds, oranges, yellows, and variations like warm browns
Cool Colors
- Impart feelings of calmness, tranquility, and serenity
- Often associated with nature, water, and cooler environments
- Include blues, greens, and purples
Color Psychology
- Study of how different colors affect human mood, emotions, and behavior
- Explores how color influences emotional responses and how responses are affected by age and cultural backgrounds
- Colors play a key role in communication
- Colors can evoke emotions, influence moods, and inspire action.
Color Psychology in Architecture
- The use of colors to create specific moods and atmospheres in spaces
- Can influence perceptions of sizes, shapes, and proportions
- Creates specific visual hierarchies
- Reinforces brand identities
- Impacts physiological responses
- Holds cultural and emotional values
Color Therapy Types
- Red: Energizes
- Blue: Treats depression and pain
- Yellow: Enhances mood
- Orange: Stimulates appetite and elicits happiness
- Green: Relaxes and eases stress
Impact of Colors on Mental Health
- Impact of colors on mental health is profound
- Affects moods and behaviors
- Calming Colors: Blue, Green, and Purple
- Stimulating Colors: Red, orange and Yellow
- Neutral Colors: beige, grey and white
