color
color
•light is the source of all color•color is light broken down in electromagnetic vibrations of various wavelengths
longest—redshortest—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 sideusing 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 withinstructor
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 ofthe interior
