Study Notes
Color Theory
- Value: Low value colors are dark, high value colors are light. An intense yellow is high in value, but an intense purple is low in value.
- Intensity: Colors can have different intensities (strength) and values (lightness/darkness) but be the same color.
- Color Wheel: The color wheel helps with color mixing. Colors close together on the wheel are harmonious (analogous). Colors opposite each other are complementary and create a dramatic blend when mixed. Mixing complementary colors will create gray.
- Analogous Colors: Adjacent colors on the color wheel.
- Complementary Colors: Colors opposite each other on the color wheel.
- Tone: A hue with gray added. Tones vary in shades from black to white.
- Transparent: Impenetrable to light.
- Translucent: Semi-permeable to light.
- Opaque: Non-permeable to light.
- Color Temperature: Warm colors (red, yellow) and cool colors (blue, purple).
- Makeup Applications: Using contrasting colors can correct problems. Orange to cancel blue circles under eyes. Green for redness (cheek area), and yellow for purple circles under eyes.
