Toa 1 - Theory of Colors

Light-colored building surfaces, especially roofs, can reduce heat transfer into buildings by having a high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI). Color theory describes how humans perceive hue, saturation, and value of colors. The visual properties of forms include their shape, size, texture, and color. The color wheel shows primary, secondary, tertiary, complementary, analogous, and triadic color schemes.

A phenomenon of light and visual
perception that may be described in terms of
an individual’s perception of hue, saturation,
and tonal value.
The property possessed by an object of
producing different sensations on the eye
as a result of the way the object reflects or
emits light.
