Colours [ Part 1 ]

For this week assignment,

Ms Lisa ask used to update our E-portfolio

and also to add on a new thread which is "Colours"

DEFINE

Hue

"the degree to which a stimulus can be described as similar to or different from stimuli that are described as red, green, yellow and blue

colors with the same hue are distinguished with adjectives referring to their lightness and/or chroma

hue refers to a pure color—one without tint or shades

Value

value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color

It becomes critical in a work which has no colors other than black, white, and a gray scale.

Saturation

 *Intensity of colour, degree to which it differs from white

* The amount of brightness of a hue

* the amount of purity of a hue, chroma, intensity

Secondary Colours

A colour made by mixing two primary colours

Here's a video I found on YouTube explaining to you about Primary and Secondary Colours xD

Tertiary Colours

combinations of primary and secondary colours

There are six tertiary colors;

red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red-violet

.

Analogous Colours

groups of colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel, with one being the dominant color, which tends to be a primary or secondary color, and two on either side complimenting, which tend to be tertiary.

-It’s best used with either warm or cool colors

creating a look that has a certain temperature as well as proper color harmony

Tint

Mixture of color with white, which increases lightness.

Shades

Mixture of color with black, which reduces brightness

Monochromatic Colours

Monochromatic colors are all the colors (tints, tones, and shades) of a single hue

derived from a single base hue, and extended using its shades, tones and tints
