INTD 50A color
color • light is the source of all color • color is light broken down in electromagnetic • vibrations of various wavelengths • longest—red • shortest—violet
color • pigments • substances used for adding color to dyes and paints • were derived from animal, mineral and vegetable • sources • now produced through chemistry as well
the color wheel • basic tool we use when working with color • based on standard color theory known as • Brewster/Prang
participation activity: COLOR directions: …using your red, yellow & blue colored pencils & the handout provided, follow the verbal directions carefully & create your first, basic color wheel.
color categories • primary colors • red, yellow, blue • the basis of all colors on the color wheel • cannot be mixed from other • pigments
color categories • secondary colors • orange, green, violet • created by mixing unequal amounts of two primary • colors
color categories • tertiary colors • red-violet, red-orange, yellow-orange, • yellow-green, blue-violet, blue-green • also known as intermediate colors • made by mixing a primary color and a secondary color • when naming tertiary colors, the primary color • ALWAYS comes before the secondary color
color categories • warm colors • reds, yellows, oranges • create feelings of warmth, • activity and excitement • advancing • generally tend to close in a space or make • it appear smaller • fluorescents are always warm
color categories • cool colors • blues, greens, and violets • create feelings of coolness, • calmness and relaxation • receding • pastels are always cool • generally tend to expand a space or make it • appear larger
color categories • neutral colors • white, black, gray, brown, • beige, tan & cream • also called achromatic— • without color • colors not found on the • color wheel
participation activity: COLOR directions: …using your colored pencils, color one side of the handout using only warm colors & the other side using only cool colors.
color is affected by: • texture • lighting • artificial • natural
value & intensity • hue • another term for color • intensity • the brightness or dullness of • a hue • changed by mixing a color • with its complement • creates a tone
value & intensity • value • the lightness or darkness of a hue • the amount of black (shade) and white • (tint) in a color
value & intensity • value • tints • created by adding white to a hue • also called pastels • shades • created by adding black to a hue
participation activity: COLOR directions: …using the paints provided, create a value and intensity chart paying close attention to making a GRADUAL color change …please listen to all directions and follow along with instructor
color schemes: color combinations based on color wheel relationships that are known to be pleasing to the senses
color schemes: • monochromatic • related color scheme • using tints, tones or shades of the same hue • example: royal blue, baby blue, slate blue, navy • blue
color schemes: • analogous/adjacent • related color scheme • using three or more colors next to each other • on the color wheel • example: orange, red-orange, red
color schemes: • complementary • contrasting color scheme • using colors found • directly opposite each • other on the color • wheel • example: red & green
color schemes: • split-complementary • contrasting color scheme • combining a color with the two colors found on • either side of the original color’s complement • example: red, blue-green, yellow-green
color schemes: • triad • contrasting color scheme • using three colors equally spaced from each • other on the color wheel • example: red, yellow, blue
color schemes: • neutral/achromatic • using only colors not • found on the color wheel • example: beige, gray, • white, cream
color schemes: • neutral with an accent • using all neutral colors except one (accent) • example: black, white, yellow
participation activity: COLOR SCHEMES …select an interior to work with …pick up a sheet of color wheels …fold your interior into thirds …using a different color scheme for each section of the interior, color the interior with your colored pencils …color a corresponding color wheel for each section …glue the color wheel to the corresponding section of the interior
