SUBTRACTIVE COLORWE SUBTRACT COLORS TO GET WHITE

This is what we do in the art room on a regular basis!

This is how we mix colors with pigments and dyes: Paint, crayons, colored pencils, pastels etc.

Primary Color – RYB

Color that all other colors can be made from.These 3 colors can not be made by mixing other colors from this system together.

SCHEMES

Achromatic – Color scheme based on white, black and varying grays

Monochromatic – Color scheme based on variations of a single hue.

Analogous – A color scheme based on hues that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel.

Mark Ryden

Complementary – Two colors opposite each other on the color wheel.

Marshall Arisman Maxfield Parrish

Hello this is Mrs. Gordon“How do you like them Apples?”

Split Complementary – Using the hues next to a color’s complement in

a composition.

Split Complementary – Using split complements is easier on the eye

than complements while still being dramatically opposite in color.

Triadic harmony – A color scheme based on three colors which are equidistant on a color wheel.
