Study Notes

Color Theory

  • Color is a fundamental element in art, arising from light. Visible light has various color mixtures.
  • The visible light spectrum includes Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.
  • Color can create the illusion of three-dimensional form.
  • Two color systems exist: Additive and Subtractive.

Additive Mixing

  • Additive mixing describes the mixing of light colors.
  • Primary colors in light are Red, Green, and Blue.
  • Mixing these in equal amounts produces white light.
  • This effect is seen in theater lighting, televisions, and computer monitors.

Subtractive Mixing

  • Subtractive mixing explains color mixing using pigments (like paints).
  • Primary colors in pigments are Red, Yellow, and Blue.
  • Mixing these in equal parts produces black.
  • Different color combinations yield other colors.

Primary Colors

  • Primary colors are fundamental hues.
  • Cannot be made from other colors.
  • The primary colors are Red, Blue, and Yellow.

Secondary Colors

  • Secondary colors are created by mixing two primary colors.
  • Secondary colors are Green, Orange, and Violet (purple).

Tertiary Colors

  • Tertiary colors result from mixing a primary and secondary color.
  • They are also known as Intermediate colors.

Local Color

  • Local color describes object colors as they appear realistically in nature.
  • Examples include green grass, blue sky, or brown horses.

Neutral Colors

  • Neutral colors include Black, White, Gray and sometimes brown.
  • These contain equal parts of primary colors.

Values of Color

  • Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color.
  • Value can be adjusted using black and white to create tints and shades.
  • Tints are produced by mixing white with a color.
  • Shades are produced by mixing black with a color.

Color Wheel

  • The color wheel visually represents relationships between colors.
  • Colors organized in a circular chart.
  • Primary, secondary and intermediate colors are arranged.

Color Schemes

  • Color schemes are systematic ways to use the color wheel to combine colors.
  • Important color schemes include: Monochromatic, Complementary, Analogous, Warm and Cool.
