The values of colors range on a gradation scale from white to almost black. • Intensity: The brightness or dullness of a color. Very strong colors are said to have high intensity. Intensity can be lowered by mixing a color with it’s compliment.

  13. Color Wheel

  14. Color Wheel • Primary Hues: Red, yellow, blue. Cannot be made from any other color. All other colors can be made by mixing the primary colors.

  15. Color Wheel • Secondary Hues: Orange, green, purple. Made by mixing equal parts of 2 primary colors.

  16. Color Wheel • Intermediate Hues (also called Tertiary). Made by mixing equal parts of adjoining primary and secondary colors. Usually named with primary color first. Ex: Blue-green

  17. Color Schemes • Monochromatic Color Scheme: One-color plan that uses different tints, shades, and intensities of the same hue.

  18. Color Schemes • Analogous Color Scheme: Uses neighboring, or adjacent colors on the color wheel.

  19. Color Schemes • Complementary Color Scheme: Uses opposite hues on the color wheel. Complementary colors are across from each other on the wheel. They have great contrast and look brighter when used side-by-side.

  20. Color Schemes • Split-Complementary Color Scheme: Uses three colors. It combines one color with the two colors on the sides of its complement. Ex: blue with yellow-orange and yellow green.

  21. Color Schemes • Triad Color Scheme: Three colors equidistant on the wheel. Ex: red, yellow, blue OR orange, green, purple.
