WHAT IS COLOR THEORY?
Color theory is the
art of combining
colors based on the
color wheel, an
organized
illustration of the
primary, secondary,
and tertiary colors.
WHAT IS COLOR WHEEL?
The color wheel consists of three primary colors (red, yellow,
blue), three secondary colors (colors created when primary
colors are mixed: green, orange, purple) and six tertiary
colors (colors made from primary and secondary colors, such as
blue-green or red-violet).
WHAT ARE WARM COLORS AND COOL COLORS ?
Warm colors are generally
associated with energy,
brightness, and action. Warm
colors are those in the red,
orange, and yellow families
Cool colors are often identified with
calm, peace, and serenity. Cool
colors are those in the green, blue,
and purple families
WHAT ARE HUES, TONES, TINTS AND SHADES ?
Hue: A pure
pigment.
Tone: A pure
pigment with
just grey
added.
Tint: A pure
pigment
with just
white
added.
Shade: A pure
pigment with
just black
added.
TYPES OF COLOR SCHEMES
1. Complementary colors
Complementary colors are
opposites on the color wheel
red and green
2.Analogous colors
Analogous colors sit next to
one another on the color
wheelred, orange and yellow
3.Triadic colors
Triadic colors are evenly
spaced around the color
wheel and tend to be very
bright and dynamic.
4.Monochromatic
Monochromatic color schemes
use a single color with varying
shades and tints to produce a
consistent look and feel.
5.Split Complementary
A split complementary scheme
includes one dominant color
and the two colors directly
adjacent to the dominant
color's complement
6. Tetradic
The square color scheme uses
four colors equidistant from
each other on the color wheel
to create a square or diamond
shape
