COLOR WHEEL*The color wheel was
developed by Sir Isaac
Newton by taking the
color spectrum and
bending it into a circle.
COLOR WHEEL*The color
wheel is made up of
three different types of colors-
Primary, Secondary,
and Tertiary.
PRIMARY COLORS*They are called primary for a couple
of reasons.
1.no two colors can be mixed to create a primary color. In other
words, primary colors can only be created through the use of
natural pigments.
2.all other colors found on the color wheel can be created by mixing
primary colors together.
PRIMARY COLORS

SECONDARY COLORS
GREEN ORANGE
PURPLE
*Secondary colors are created by
mixing equal parts of any two primary colors.YELLOW + RED =
ORANGERED + BLUE = VIOLET / PURPLEBLUE + YELLOW = GREEN
TERTIARY COLORS*Tertiary colors are created by mixing equal
parts of a secondary color and a
primary color together
TERTIARY COLORS*YELLOW + ORANGE = YELLOW ORANGE
*RED + ORANGE =
RED ORANGE
*RED + VIOLET / PURPLE = RED PURPLE
*BLUE + VIOLET / PURPLE = BLUE PURPLE
*BLUE + GREEN = BLUE GREEN
*YELLOW + GREEN = YELLOW GREEN
NEUTRAL COLORS
*Neutral Colors are colors that are not associated with a hue (color). Neutral colors, when mixed with a hue change the value or intensity of the color. Neutral colors are BLACK, WHITE, GRAY and some BROWNS.
*White + color = Tints of the color
(Ex. WHITE + RED = PINK
*BLACK + color = Shades of the color
(Ex. Black + RED = Maroon/Burgundy
*GRAY + color = Less Intensity of the color
Complementary Harmony
It is achieved by a combination of
any opposite colors in the
color wheel. RED and GREEN, for instance, are
complementary colors.
Monochromatic HarmonyIt is otherwise
referred to as one-mode or one hue
harmony. It combines different
intensities or values - lightness and
darkness or brightness and
dullness - of one color only. Examples are blue, light blue,
dark blue.
