Color theory encompasses a multitude of definitions, concepts and design applications – enough to fill several encyclopedias. Color theories create a logical structure for color. For example, if we have an assortment of fruits and vegetables, we can organize them by color and place them on a circle that shows the colors in relation to each other.
The Color Wheel A favorite of designers and artists, the wheel makes color relationships easy to see by dividing the spectrum into 12 basic hues: three primary colors, three secondaries, and six tertiaries.
Any three colors which are side by side on a 12-part color wheel, such as yellow-green, yellow, and yellow-orange. Usually one of the three colors predominates.
Complementary colors are any two colors which are directly opposite each other, such as red and green and red-purple and yellow-green.
An attribute of a color which makes it unique. Example: Red, Forest Green, Cerulean, Violet, Pink, Magenta, etc.
In traditional color theory (used in paint and pigments), primary colors are the 3 pigment colors that cannot be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. All other colors are derived from these 3 hues.
Example: Red, Blue, and Yellow
These are the colors formed by mixing the primary colors.
Example: Green, Orange, and Purple
Refers to the mixture of a hue with black or any darker color. This mixture reduces the overall color brightness.
These are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color.
Example: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green & yellow-green
A tint is created when you add white to a hue and lighten it. It is also sometimes called a pastel color.
In art, the term “tone” describes the quality of color. It has to do with whether a color is perceived as warm or cold, bright or dull, light or dark, and pure or “dirty.” The tone of a piece of art can have a variety of effects, from setting the mood to adding emphasis.
