    BY GROUP 1
    COLOR THEORY
     COLOR WHEEL

     COLOR VALUES

     COLOR SCHEMES
    THE COLOR
    WHEEL
    The color wheel fits together
    like a puzzle- each color in a
    specific place. Being familiar with
    the color wheel not only help you
    mix color when painting, but in
    adding color to all you arts
    creations.
    PRIMARY COLORS

    Primary Colors are not mixed


    from other elements and they
    generate all other colors.
    • Red
    • Yellow
    • Blue
    SECONDARY
    COLORS
    Secondary Colors by mixing
    two primary colors, a secondary
    color is created.
    • Red + Yellow = Orange
    • Yellow + Blue = Green
    • Blue + Red = Purple
    TERTIARY
    COLORS

    Tertiary or
    Intermediate
    Colors, are created
    by mixing a primary
    and a secondary.
    COLOR VALUES
    Color Values are the lights and darks of
    the color you create by using black and
    white (‘neutrals”) with a color. This
    makes hundreds of more colors from the
    basic 12 colors of the wheel.

    • White + Color = Tints


    • Color + Black = Shade
    TINTS

    TINTS are lightened colors.


    Always begin with white and add
    a bit of colors to the white until
    desired tint is obtained. This an
    example of a values scale for the
    tints of blue.
    SHADES

    SHADES are darkened colors.


    Always begin with the color and
    add just a bit of black at a time
    to get the desired shade of a
    color. This is an example of a
    value scale for the shades of
    blue.
    Neutral Colors
    The principles of color mixing
    let us describe a variety of
    colors, but there are still
    many colors to explore. The
    neutral colors Contain equal
    parts of each of the three
    primary colors. Black, off-
    black, white, off-white, gray
    and sometimes brown are
    considered “neutral”.
    WARM COLORS

    Warm Colors, are found on the


    right side of the color wheel.
    They are colors found in fire and
    the sun. Warm color
    This is an illustration of the use
    of warm colors, reds, oranges,
    yellows and greens.
    COOL COLORS
    Cool Colors, are found
    on the left side of the
    color wheel. They are
    the colors found in snow
    and ice and tend to
    recede in a composition.
    This is an illustration of the use
    of warm colors, reds, oranges,
    yellows and greens.
    3 BASIC ELEMENTS

    HUE- the actual color, such as red or green. A HUE


    can be change by adding tone, example- white to
    lighten, black to darken.

    CHROMA- the intensity of the color

    TONE- the amount of black or white in a color


    COLOR SCHEMES

    Color Schemes are a


    systematic way of using the
    color wheel to put colors
    together. In your artwork,
    putting together the clothes
    you wear, desiring what color
    to paint your room…..
    MONOCHROMATIC
    "Mono" means "one",
    "chroma" means "color".
    monochromatic color schemes
    have only one color and its
    values. The following slide
    shows a painting done in a
    monochromatic color scheme.
    These non-objective paintings have a
    monochromatic color scheme - blue, yellow,
    red and the values (tints and shades) of
    blue, yellow and red,
    COMPLEMENTARY
    Complementary colors are opposite on the color wheel
    provided a high contrast - if you want to be noticed wear
    complementary colors!
    These pictures
    have
    complementar
    y colors and
    their values.
    SPLIT-COMPLEMENTARY
    Like complementary colors, split-complementary colors are also
    opposite each other, but include three or four colors, not just two.
    Split-complementary contains the actual color (hue) and the two
    colors on either side of its complement.
    ANALOGOUS
    The analogous color scheme is 3-5 colors adjacent to each
    other on the color wheel. This combination of colors
    provides very little contrast.
    Analogous colors
    are illustrated here:
    yellow, yellow-
    green, green and
    blue-green & purple,
    red-purple, red, red-
    orange and orange.
    ACHROMATIC
    Achromatic
    Designating color
    perceived to have
    zero saturation and
    therefore no hue,
    such as neutral grays,
    white, or black.
