    Study Notes

    Color Models

    • Primary colors in additive color (RGB) are Red, Green, and Blue.
    • Additive color is different from subtractive color because it creates color by adding light, whereas subtractive color absorbs certain wavelengths of light.

    Four-Color Printing

    • The key concept in four-color printing related to the black plate is that it adds depth and increases the color range.

    Subtractive Color (CMY)

    • Combining all colors in subtractive color (CMY) results in a dark brown or black color.
    • Subtractive color is associated with reflected light.

    Color Theory

    • The 'building blocks of composition' in art and graphic design are called Elements.
    • The 'in-between' colors like turquoise, pink, and red-orange are called Tertiary Colors.
    • The term for the intensity or purity of a color is Saturation.
    • Tint is created by adding white to make a color less intense.
