1 THEORY 2D Design Color Crash Course NEWTONIAN THEORY Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life. -incent an Gogh

2 In 1666 Sir Isaac Newton ( ) passed a beam of light through a prism and proved that light contains the phenomena of color.

3 Color A narrow band of electromagnetic energy that the human eye can perceive. Each of the colored components of light represents a different band or range of wavelengths or frequencies. Spectrum The entire range of colors in light that the human eye can perceive.

4 Color requires three elements to exist: - light is the carrier of the spectrum of colors. - to interact with the light and produce a color. - to view the light/object interaction.

5 Color is an inherent property of light and not object.

6 Without light there is NO color.

7 Color only exists with (obseed) light.

8 - Subtractive Color An object absorbs all other colors of the spectrum other than what it reflects back.

9 - Translucent (semi-transparent) Transparent Opaque

10 - s absorb and reflect light in varying degrees. White reflects(scatters) almost all light. A mirror reflects all light. Black absorbs almost light. Colors are caused by objects reflecting and absorbing select portions of the color spectrum.

11 O G ro bg Color Wheel Newton s arrangement of colors around a circle. Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo iolet

12 O G ro bg ROY G B

13 O G ro bg Primary Colors Red Yellow Blue These colors cannot be made by mixing other colors. Theoretically, all other colors can be made from them.

14 O G ro bg P+P= Secondary

15 O G ro bg Secondary Colors Orange Green iolet Middle mixtures of two P.

16 O G ro bg S+Adjacent P= Tertiary

17 O G ro bg Tertiary Colors Red/iolet Yellow/Orange Blue/Green Red/Orange Yellow/Green Blue/iolet Middle mixture of a P and adjacent S.

18 O G ro bg Intermediate Mixtures Color combinations not defined by the color wheel. T+T, T+ non-adjacent S, S + S, etc.

19 O G ro bg Complimentary Colors s opposite one-another. Compliments neutralize each another (produce a neutral gray).

20 O G ro bg Chromatic Gray A gray created with a middle mixture of primary colors and not black and white.

21 O G ro bg X X Color Mixture The combination of two or more hues to create a S, T or intermediate color. Parent Color Colors mixed to create the new hue. Primary Colors have no parents. Middle Mixture A hue that is a ISUALLY equal mixture of its parent colors.

22 O G ro bg Properties of Color The descriptive name of a color.

23 alue O G ro bg Properties of Color alue The lightness - darkness of a hue.

24 alue O G ro bg Properties of Color alue The pureness of a hue. Maximum intensity: straight out of the tube. is often referred to as Saturation or Chroma.

25 alue Temperature O G ro bg Properties of Color alue Temperature The warmness - coolness of a hue.

26 alue Temperature O G ro bg Color Relativity Colors are not absolute! Each property of color can be altered by, and will alter the hues surrounding it.

27 alue Temperature Simultaneous Contrast O + G alue The relationship of light and dark. alue includes neutral grays. ro bg ision/perception Grays are not technically considered colors: they lack temp. and intensity. The average eye can see 40 grays, it can be trained to see many more. A computer displays 256 different shades of gray. An image that contains nothing but gray colors is a Grayscale image.

28 alue Temperature Simultaneous Contrast O + G Key Refers to the overall tonality of a hue/image. High key: image lies towards the white side of the value scale. ro Low key: image lies towards the black side of the value scale. bg ision/perception

29 alue Temperature Simultaneous Contrast O + G ro bg ision/perception Chromatic Gray Gray made with colors: compliments and a middle mixture of primaries Achromatic Gray Gray lacking any color: mixture of Black and White. Black is darkest, white is lightest variation A middle mixture between them produces Neutral Gray.

30 alue Temperature Simultaneous Contrast O + G ro bg ision/perception Tint White lightens value while reducing intensity.

31 alue Temperature Simultaneous Contrast O + G ro bg ision/perception Shade Black darkens value while reducing intensity.

32 alue Temperature Simultaneous Contrast O + G ro bg ision/perception Tone Gray neutralizes value while reducing intensity. Neutral gray will alter a color s value without altering its hue. Neutral gray of the same value as a hue will alters without affecting any other properties.

33 alue Temperature Simultaneous Contrast O + G ro bg ision/perception

34 alue Temperature Pureness of hue. Simultaneous Contrast O + G is greatest straight out of the tube. Mixing lowers intensity. Often referred to as Saturation or Chroma. ro bg ision/perception

35 alue Temperature O + G ro bg Harmony Etymology: Greek, from harmos joint pleasing arrangement Discord lack of agreement or harmony

36 alue Temperature O + G ro bg Monochromatic One hue and variations of that hue only.

37 alue Temperature O + G ro bg Complementary s opposite one another on the color wheel. Highest contrast of the color harmonies.

38 alue Temperature O + G ro bg Triadic Three hues equidistant from one another on the color wheel or chart.

39 alue Temperature O + G ro bg Analogous A hue and the two hues adjacent to it.

40 alue Temperature O + G ro bg Warm / Cool Based on the interaction of warm and cool colors.

41 alue Temperature O + G ro bg Cross (Split) Complimentary A hue and the analogous colors to its compliment.

Color Theory and Mixing

Color Theory and Mixing MODULE 4 Color Theory and Mixing? What is explored in this module? In this module, we ll look at basic color theory and mixing colors. You ll find that color theory and mixing is not a perfect science.
