an element of art and design derived from refracted light.

Page 2: Color

HUEthe name of a color in the color spectrum, such as red, blue, or yellow

Page 3: Color

VALUE the art element that describes the darkness or lightness of a color

Page 4: Color

TintsTints are lightened color values. Always begin with white and add a bit of color to the white until the desired tint is obtained. This is an example of a value scale for the tints of blue.

Page 5: Color

Shades are darkened colors. Always begin with the color and add just a bit of black at a time to get the desired shade of a color. This is an example of a value scale for the shades of blue.

INTENSITYthe brightness or dullness of a hue

High-intensity colors are pure and bright.

Dull colors are low-intensity.

Color WheelColor Values

Page 8: Color

The color wheel fits together like a puzzle - each color in a specific place. Being familiar with the color wheel not only helps you mix colors when painting, but in adding color to all your art creations.

Page 9: Color

Primary ColorsPrimary colors are not mixed from other elements and they generate all other colors.

• Red• Yellow• Blue

Page 10: Color

Secondary ColorsBy mixing two primary colors, a secondary color is created.

• Red + Yellow = Orange• Yellow + Blue = Green• Blue + Red = Purple

Page 11: Color

•red-orange•yellow-orange•yellow-green

Intermediate ColorsAn intermediate color is formed when a primary color is mixed with an adjacent secondary color - for instance, blue (a primary) is mixed with violet (a secondary) to produce blue-violet or blue is mixed with green for blue-green.

Intermediate colors are sometimes called Tertiary colors

•blue-green•blue-violet•red-violet

Neutral ColorsThe principles of color mixing let us describe a variety of colors, but there are still many colors to explore. The neutral colors contain equal parts of each of the three primary colors. Black, white, gray and sometimes brown are considered "neutral”.

a systematic way of using the color wheel to put colors together… in your art work, putting together the clothes you wear, deciding what colors to paint your room, or creating a graphic design.

monochromatic, complementary, analogous, warm and cool.

Page 14: Color

Monochromatic Color“Mono” means “one”, “chroma” means “color”… monochromatic color schemes have only one color and its values. The following slide shows a painting done in a monochromatic color scheme.

Page 15: Color

This painting has a monochromatic color scheme - blue and the values (tints and shades) of blue.

Page 16: Color

Complementary ColorsComplementary colors are opposite on the color wheel provided a high contrast - if you want to be noticed wear complementary colors!

Page 17: Color

This painting has complementary colors and their values - blues and oranges.

Page 18: Color

Analogous ColorsThe analogous color scheme is 3-5 colors adjacent to each other on the color wheel. This combination of colors provides very little contrast.

Page 19: Color

Analogous colors are illustrated here: yellows and oranges.

Page 20: Color

Warm ColorsWarm colors are found on the color wheel. They are colors found in fire and the sun. Warm colors make objects look closer in a painting or drawing.

Page 21: Color

This is an illustration of the use of warm colors - reds, oranges and yellows.

Page 22: Color

Cool ColorsCool colors are found on the left side of the color wheel. They are the colors found in snow and ice and tend to recede in a composition.

Note the cool color scheme in this painting (greens, purples and blues).
