  1. Color

  2. The three properties of color… 1. Value • Amount of lightness or darkness of a color. 2. Hue • The name of a color in a spectrum such as red, yellow, blue. 3. Intensity (Chroma) • Intensity is the brightness or dullness of a hue. • A bright hue is “high intensity” • A dull hue is “low intensity”

  3. Are value and chroma the same? •  With chroma you’re considering how pure or intense the hue is, whereas with value you’re not considering what the hue (color) is at all, just how light or dark it is.

  4. Matching values • When you mix the same amount of white with different hues they are MATCHING VALUES. • The tomatoes SECOND hue (the pink next to the white) is that matching value to the light green of the apple or the light brown of the pear.

  5. Colors… List ‘em… • Primary… • Secondary… • Tertiary (intermediate)…

  6. Colors… List ‘em… • Primary… Red, Blue, Yellow • Secondary… Green, Purple, Orange • Tertiary (intermediate)… Red-orange, Red-violet, Yellow-orange, Yellow-green, Blue-purple, Blue-green.

  7. Intermediate colors • Intermediate = Tertiary colors • What do you mix together to make a primary color? • Secondary? • Tertiary?

  8. Using Color to Create Emotion Putting together colors without a plan can be confusing and unpleasant to your eyes- it can look like a visual argument. A plan for organizing colors is called a “color scheme” COLOR SCHEMES!

  9. Analogous Colors • Colors that sit side by side on the color wheel and have a common hue. • Example of an analogous color harmony:

  10. Monochromatic Colors • Monochrome means: One color. • A Monochromatic color scheme uses only ONE HUE and the tints and shades of that hue.

  11. Complementary colors • Bears, Lakers, Christmas (opposite on the color wheel) Look GREAT side by side (pop) • Mixing a hue with its complementary color dulls the hue (lowers its intensity) • (You cannot dull the hue by adding white or black.)

  12. Color Triads • Composed of 3 colors spaced an equal distance apart on the color wheel. • EX: The Primary triad is red yellow and blue. What colors can you make from the primary triad?

  13. Split Compliments • Split compliment is the combination of one hue plus the hues on each side of its compliment: • Reds compliment= Green • Reds SPLIT compliment= Yellow-green & Blue-green
