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.
