    Olor Heory: Crimination, The Perceptual Versus The Physical Manifestation, Separate The Two Types of His

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses the color wheel, which is a simple way to present colors and show their relationships. It describes the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors that make up the color wheel. The primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. Secondary colors result from mixing primary colors, and are green, violet, and orange. Tertiary colors result from mixing adjacent secondary colors. The color wheel also describes complementary, analogous, triad, split complementary, double complementary, tetrad, and alternate complementary color schemes.

    of color and how it works. It is essentially an investigation into the notions of art history. So,
    the history of color has roots in both applied and pure science. Stimulus and wavelength dis-
    crimination, the perceptual versus the physical manifestation, separate the two types of his-
    tory of color.

    COLOR THEORY
    The origin and nature of color, like light, have been speculated on for hundreds of years. Its
    qualities have been widely known and used, even if its nature has not been fully explained or
    understood. A number of theories on color have evolved through the ages.

    The color wheel is an elegant and simple way to present colors and show their relationships.
    The wheel is a polar coordinate plotting of colors in which the colors are arranged in quad-
    rants, as follows: (See Figures 4.3–4.12)
    • Primary colors. Fundamental colors that when mixed create secondary colors. These
    hues are said to be pure colors, including red, blue, and yellow.
    • Secondary colors. Secondary colors are the colors that result when the primary colors
    are mixed. These colors are green, violet, and orange.
    • Tertiary colors. Tertiary colors result from the mixture of the adjacent secondary
    colors.
    These three main groups of color can be further categorized as follows:

    • Triad colors. Triad colors are any three colors that are balanced and equidistant from
    each other on the color wheel.
    • Complementary colors. These are hues that are opposite each other on the color
    wheel, such as yellow against violet or blue against orange.
    • Split complementary colors. Split complementary colors use three colors of any hue
    and the two colors adjacent to its complementary color, such as yellow, lavender and
    magenta or red, apple-green and cyan.
    • Analogous colors. Analogous colors are any combination of colors adjacent to each
    other on the color wheel. These colors are said to have a common hue among them.
    • Double-complement colors. Double-complement colors are made up of a pair of
    complement colors, such as yellow and violet or blue and orange.
