ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW Hue is the first property of Color Hue simply refers to the name of the Color. • Red, Green, Yellow, Violet, etc. are Hues. Although there are relatively few Hues there can be an almost unlimited number of Colors. • Pink, Rose, Scarlet, and Crimson are all Colors, but the Hue is Red.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Color Wheel The 12 Hues of the Basic Color Wheel are divided into 3 Categories: • Primary Colors • Secondary Colors • Tertiary Colors

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Primary Colors. The 3 Primary Colors are: • Red • Yellow • Blue From these colors, all colors can theoretically be mixed.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Secondary Colors. The 3 Secondary Colors are mixtures of 2 Primary Colors: • Red & Yellow make Orange • Yellow & Blue make Green • Blue & Red make Violet

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Tertiary Colors. The 6 Tertiary Colors are mixtures of 1 Primary Color with an adjacent Secondary Color: • Blue & Green make Blue-Green • Green & Yellow make Yellow-Green • Yellow & Orange make Yellow-Orange • Orange & Red make Red-Orange • Red & Violet make Red-Violet • Violet & Blue make Blue-Violet

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW Value is the second property of Color. Value refers to the lightness or darkness of the Hue. In pigment adding white or black alters the Value of the Hue. • Adding White lightens the color and produces what is called a Tint. • Adding Black darkens the color and produces what is called a Shade.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW Intensity is the third property of Color. Intensity refers to the brightness of the Hue. Because a color is at full Intensity only when pure and unmixed, a relationship exists between Value and Intensity. Mixing Black or White with a color changes its Value and at the same time affects its Intensity.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Monochromatic Color Scheme Color Schemes can be used to help Unify a Composition. A Monochromatic Color Scheme involves only one Hue. The Hue may vary in Value and pure Black and White can be added.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Analogous Color Scheme A Analogous Color Scheme combines several Hues that sit next to one another on the Color Wheel.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Analogous Color Scheme A Analogous Color Scheme combines several Hues that sit next to one another on the Color Wheel. The Hues may vary in Value.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Complementary Color Scheme A Complementary Color Scheme joins colors opposite each other on the Color Wheel.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Complementary Color Scheme A Complementary Color Scheme joins color opposite each other on the Color Wheel.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Split Complementary Color Scheme A Split Complementary Color Scheme is related to the Complementary Color Scheme but utilizes colors adjacent to one of the complement pairs on the Color Wheel.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Split Complementary Color Scheme A Split Complementary Color Scheme is related to the Complementary Color Scheme but utilizes colors adjacent to one of the complement pairs on the Color Wheel.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Triadic Color Scheme A Triadic Color Scheme involves three Hues equally spaced on the Color Wheel.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY REVIEW The Triadic Color Scheme A Triadic Color Scheme involves three Hues equally spaced on the Color Wheel. The Hues form a triangle on the Color Wheel and suggest Unity and Balance.

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY The Emotional Attributes Of Color and how they work Color Mixing Assignment: 2 ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY The Emotional Attributes Of Color The Color Wheel can be divided up into a Warm Color Palette and a Cool Color Palette. 1. A Warm Color Palette consists of: • Reds • Yellows • Oranges 2. A Cool Color Palette consists of: • Blues • Greens • Violets

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY The Emotional Attributes Of Color The Reds, Yellows and Oranges of the Warm Color Palette can visually convey: • Energy • Anger • Excitement • Aggression • Passion • Love • Physical Warmth

ART 101 2D DESIGN & COLOR THEORY The Emotional Attributes Of Color The Blues, Greens and Violets of the Cool Color Palette can visually convey: • Peacefulness • Calmness • Serenity • Solitude • Mourning • Grief • Physical Coolness
