 5.1.    PRIMARY COLOURS
Those colours that cannot be created by mixing others.

 5.2.    SECONDARY COLOURS
Secondary colours are produced by mixing two primary colours in equal quantities.
                                                   Violet
                                                   Orange

 5.3.    TERTIARY COLOURS
The tertiary colours are produced when a Primary Colour and a Secondary Colour are mixed in
equal quantities.
They take their name from the two mixed colours.

                                                Colours located opposite each other on a

                                                   The Colour wheel was designed as a way
                                                   of showing how colours relate to each
                                                   other.
                                                   The outside ring shows 3 primary, 3
                                                   secondary and 6 tertiary colours

                                      Analogous colours sit next to one another
                                      on the colour wheel.
                                      These colours are in harmony with one
                                      another.

5.8.   COLOUR SYSTEMS
  5.8.1. SUBTRACTIVE COLOUR
                                               When we mix colours using paint, or through
                                               the printing process, we are using the
                                               subtractive colour method.
                                               Subtractive colour mixing means that one
                                               begins with white and ends with black; as one
                                               adds colour, the result gets darker and tends to
                                               black.

5.8.2. ADDITIVE COLOUR
                                                 If we are working on a computer, the
                                                 colours we see on the screen are created
                                                 with light using the additive colour method.
                                                 Additive colour mixing begins with black
                                                 and ends with white; as more colours are
                                                 added, the result is lighter and tends to
                                                 white.

5.9.   COLOUR TEMPERATURE
                                                         Colours are generally associated with
                                                         warmth and others with coldness.
                                                         It is said that reds, oranges and
                                                         yellows are warm while blue, green
                                                         and violet are cold; being the
                                                         greatest degree of warmth in red and
                                                         of coldness in blue.
                                                         In the colour wheel all the colours are
                                                         arranged        according     to    their
                                                         temperature and there is some
                                                         uncertainty surrounding areas in the
                                                         tertiary red violet and yellow green.

 5.11.   ATTRIBUTES OF COLOURS
   5.11.1.    HUE
When we use words such as red, purple, orange, etc., we are describing a colour's hue.




Hue is which distinguishes one colour from another

    5.11.2.    VALUE
We also perceive colour differences in two other ways. One is a colour's lightness or darkness. We
can refer to this as lightness-darkness, brightness, or its value. A colour's value can be changed by
adding either white or black.




Value synonymous: luminance, brightness
How light or dark a colour is, the tone can lighten if white is added to a tint.

    5.11.3.    SATURATION
Saturation refers to the dominance of hue in the colour. A colour's saturation changes as white
are added to it.




Saturation Synonymous: Chroma, Intensity
The purity of a colour. The level and mixture of white or black included in colours.
