The Evolution of Color in Graphic Design
 Historical Perception:
 Graphic design was traditionally seen as black-and-white.
 Color was not a fundamental element in design.
 Modern Integration:
 Color has become an integral part of the design process.
 Color printing, once a luxury, is now routine.
 The Power of Color:
 An infinite range of hues and intensities brings media to life.
 It adds sensuality and significance to the page, screen, and built
environment.
 The Role of Digital Technology:
 Graphics and color convergence owes much to digital technology.
 Digital tools have empowered designers to embrace color fully.

Classical Tradition
 Classical Tradition:
 Essence of design: Linear structure and tonal relationships.
 Design as an abstract armature underlying appearances.
 Color Perception:
 Previously considered subjective and unstable.
 Focused on optical effects like hue, intensity, and luminosity.
 Shift in Understanding:
 Classical view: Design's foundation in structure.
 Color seen as a secondary, subjective aspect.
Copyright 息 2023 Troy Tarpley 7
Perception of Color
 Color is a fundamental aspect of our visual experience.
 How we perceive color is a complex interplay of biology and
psychology.
 Light as the source of color.
 The electromagnetic spectrum and visible light.
Copyright 息 2023 Troy Tarpley 8
The Eye's Role
 The human eye's complex
structure.
 Retina and photoreceptor cells
(cones and rods).
Copyright 息 2023 Troy Tarpley 9
Color Vision Theories
 Trichromatic Theory (Young-
Helmholtz):
 Three types of cones sensitive to
different wavelengths.
 RGB color model.
 Opponent-Process Theory:
 Color perception based on
opposing pairs (e.g., red-green,
blue-yellow).
 Explains afterimages and color
contrast.
Copyright 息 2023 Troy Tarpley 10
Basic Color Theory
 Historical Breakthrough:
 In 1665, Sir Isaac Newton's
prism experiment revealed the
spectrum of colors.
 Newton organized these colors
in a wheel, similar to today's
artist's color wheel.
Copyright 息 2023 Troy Tarpley 11
The Color Wheel's Utility:
 Analogous Colors:
 Sit near each other on the
spectrum or color wheel.
 Minimal color contrast, innate
harmony.
 Share common elements.
 Complementary Colors:
 Located opposite each other on the
wheel.
 No shared elements, opposing
temperatures (warm vs. cool).
 Affect visual energy and mood in
composition.
Copyright 息 2023 Troy Tarpley 12
Design Impact:
 Choosing analogous or
contrasting colors:
 Influences visual energy and
mood.
 Plays a pivotal role in design
composition.

Aspects of Color
 Color Attributes:
 Every color can be described using various characteristics.
 Understanding these attributes aids in making informed color choices
and creating harmonious combinations.
 Value Contrast:
 Contrasting Values:
 Sharpens focus on forms and elements.
 Creates a pronounced distinction.
 Close Value:
 Softens distinctions between elements.
 Blurs boundaries and transitions.

Editor's Notes

  • #6: Color can convey a mood, describe reality, or codify information. Words like gloomy, drab and glittering each bring to mind a general climate of colors, a palette of relationships. Designers use color to make something stand out, for example light a yield sign or warning sign. Designers also use colors to make other things disappear, like camouflage. Color serves to differentiate and connect, to highlight and to hide.
  • #7: Graphic design was once seen as fundamentally black-and-white enterprise. This is no longer the case. Color has become integral to the design process. Color printing, once a luxury, has become routine. An infinite range of hues and intensities bring modern media to life, energizing the page, the screen, and the built environment with sensuality and significance. Graphics and color had converged thank largely in part to digital technology. Color has transformed graphic design, evolving from a black-and-white tradition to an essential element, thanks largely to digital technology. It energizes and adds significance to modern media, enhancing visual communication.
  • #8: According to the classical tradition, the essence of design lies in linear structure and tonal relationships, not in the fleeting optical effects like hue, intensity, and luminosity. Design used to be understood as an abstract armature that underlies appearances. Color, in contrast, was seen as subjective and unstable.
  • #9: Color exists, literally, in the eye of the beholder. We cannot perceive color until light bounces off an object or is emitted from a source and enters the eye. Our perception of color depends not solely on the pigmentation of physical surfaces, but on the brightness and character of ambient light. We also perceive a given color in relation to other colors around it. For example, a light tone looks lighter against a dark ground than against a pale one. Color changes meaning from culture to culture. Colors carry different connotations in different societies. White signals virginity and purity in the west, but it is the color of death is eastern culture. Red is worn by brides in Japan, but is considered racy and erotic in Europe and the United States. Colors go in and out of fashion, and an entire industry has emerged to guide and predict its course.
  • #10: Rods are more numerous, located in the periphery of the eye, and good for detecting light in general. Cones are concentrated near the fovea, responsible for color vision, and able to adapt quickly to changes in light. The trichromatic theory, which derives from the combined works of the 19th-century scientists Young and Helmholtz, says that油there are three different cone systems in the eye that perceive three types of color: blue, green, and red
  • #11: The trichromatic theory, which derives from the combined works of the 19th-century scientists Young and Helmholtz, says that油there are three different cone systems in the eye that perceive three types of color: blue, green, and red. The opponent process is a color theory that states that the human visual system interprets information about color by processing signals from photoreceptor cells in an antagonistic manner.油The opponent process theory explains how the cones connect to the ganglion cells and how opposing cells are excited or inhibited by certain wavelengths of light.
  • #12: In 1665 Sir Isaac Newton discovered that a prism separates light into the spectrum of colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue , indigo, and violet. He organized the color as around a wheel much like the one artists use today to describe the relationship among colors.
  • #13: Why is the color wheel so useful design tool? Colors that sit near each other on the spectrum or close together on the color wheel are analogous. Using them together provides minimal color contrast and an innate harmony, because each color has some element in common with others in the sequence. Two colors sitting opposite each other on the wheel are compliments.
  • #14: Each color contains no elements of the others, and they have opposing temperatures (warm versus cool). Deciding to use analogous or contrasting colors affects the visual energy and mood of any composition.
  • #21: Every color can be described in relation to a range of attributes. Understanding these characteristics can help you make color choices and build color combinations. Using colors with contrasting values tends to bring forms into sharp focus, while combining colors that are close in value softens the distinction between elements.
  • #22: Hue is the place of the color within the spectrum. A red hue can look brown at a low saturation, or pink at a pale value.
  • #23: [Lecture 際際滷] Title: Understanding Key Color Attributes - Intensity: - Refers to the brightness or dullness of a color. - High intensity colors are vibrant and vivid. - Low intensity colors are muted and subdued. - Value: - Describes the lightness or darkness of a color. - A color's value is determined by its position on a grayscale. - High value indicates a lighter color, while low value represents a darker color. - Shade: - Created by adding black to a color, making it darker. - Shading adds depth and dimension to colors. - Tint: - Produced by adding white to a color, making it lighter. - Tinting creates pastel or lighter versions of colors. - Saturation: - Reflects the purity or intensity of a color. - Highly saturated colors are vibrant and pure. - Desaturated colors appear muted or grayed. [際際滷 Conclusion] Understanding these key color attributesintensity, value, shade, tint, and saturationis fundamental for effective color selection and manipulation in design. They enable designers to create a wide range of visual effects and convey specific emotions or messages through color.
  • #24: These colors are close in value and intensity, and just slightly different in hue. These colors are close in hue and value, but different in intensity.
  • #25: Surfaces absorb certain light waves and reflect back others onto the color receptors (cones) in our eyes. The light reflected back is the light we see. The true primaries of visible light are red, green, and blue. The light system is called additive because the three primaries together create all the hues in the spectrum. In theory, combining red and green paint should produce yellow. In practice, however, these pigments combine into. Blackish brown. This is because pigments absorb more light than they reflect, making any mix of pigments darker than its source color. As more colors are mixed, less light is reflected. Thus pigment-based color system colors are called subtractive. CMYK.
