Study Notes
Color Fundamentals
- Color is an element of art characterized by hue, value, and intensity, representing surfaces' visual responses to light wavelengths.
Definitions of Color Properties
- Hue: A distinguishing property of color that gives it a name and identifies its gradation.
- Value: Refers to the lightness or darkness of a color, fundamental in art for creating contrast.
- Intensity: Indicates the saturation or purity of a color, with high intensity being bright and vivid, while low intensity appears dull.
Color Theory
- Spectrum: A visible band of colors produced when light passes through a prism, encompassing the full range of colors.
- Primary Colors: Red, yellow, and blue are the foundational colors that cannot be created by mixing other pigments. They serve as the base for mixing all other colors.
- Secondary Colors: Result from mixing two primary colors; include green, orange, and violet.
Advanced Color Mixing
- Intermediate (Tertiary) Colors: Formed by mixing a primary color with a secondary color, such as red and violet creating red-violet.
- Complementary Colors: Colors opposite each other on the color wheel, like red and green, providing strong contrast.
- Neutral Colors: Include black, white, and gray; not associated with any hue, can be created through mixing colors with neutrals or compliments.
Mixing Techniques
- Additive Color Mixing: Involves the mixing of colored light, with all primary colors together yielding white light.
- Subtractive Color Mixing: Concerned with pigments; combining primary colors results in black.
Perception of Color
- Color Interactions: Describes how colors affect each other's perception based on proximity.
- Color Harmonies/Schemes: Various combinations of colors that create pleasing effects or patterns.
Types of Color Schemes
- Triadic Colors: Three colors equally spaced on the color wheel, e.g., red, blue, and yellow.
- Split Complementary Colors: A main color paired with the two adjacent colors of its complementary color, such as red with blue-green and yellow-green.
- Analogous Colors: Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, creating harmony, for instance, green, yellow-green, and yellow.
- Monochromatic Colors: Variants of a single hue modified by adjusting its value and saturation with black and white.
Modifying Color Values
- Tint: A lighter version of a hue achieved by adding white.
- Shade: A darker version of a hue obtained by adding black.
- Tone: A medium value of a hue created by adding gray.
Warm and Cool Colors
- Warm Colors: Hues dominated by red and yellow, often evoking warmth and energy.
- Cool Colors: Hues where blue is dominant, generally associated with calmness and tranquility.
