Introduction to Color Theory

Color is the reflection or absorption of white light from any given surface. White Light: is all the colors combined Hue is identified as any color

1672

Sir Isaac Newton Passed a beam of white light into a prism and found that it created a spectrum.

Additive color process for producing light Creates variations of light because black is the absence of light Lower light intensity produces darker color Higher light intensity produces lighter color Computers, Plasma and LCD TVs, Projectors, or any other device that uses light to create color

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black Subtractive color process because it subtracts from the color white White is the combination of all color CMYK is used in all printing devices. The inks overlap to form the various colors

Color Half is the use of small CMYK dots to create the illusion of solid color Saves money by not using as much ink

Colors schemes in Art

Red Yellow Blue

Piet Mondrian Composition II in Red, Blue, and Yellow 1930 Primary Colors

Green Orange Violet

Henri Matisse Boy With Butterfly Net 1907

Paul Cezanne Still Life with Onions 1895

Colors found adjacent on the color wheel “Family resemblance” Changes in value can enhance the contrast of the hues

Claude Monet Water Lily Pond c. 1899

Red, yellow, orange Colors are intended to excite the viewer

Vincent van Gogh Still Life: Vase with 12 Sunflowers 1888

Violet, Green, Blue Use to express unhappiness, depression or sadness

Pablo Picasso The Tragedy 1903 Monochromatic

“Mono” meaning one “Chroma” meaning color

Hues that are across from each other on the color wheel
