There are three properties to color. Color Theory Color Schemes Every time you pick color to add to a work, you are creating a color scheme to add meaning to your art. Primary The colors you can’t make Red, yellow and blue Secondary Colors you get when you mix two primaries Orange, green, purple Intermediate Colors that are a mix between a primary and a secondary Red-orange, blue-violet, yellow-green, etc Color Wheel Color is the element of art that happens when light is reflected back to the eye. There are three properties to color. Hue which simply means the name we give to a color (red, yellow, blue, green, etc.). Intensity refers to the vividness of the color. Value how light or dark it is. shades are created by adding black to a color, tints are created by adding white to a color. Color is often shown in a wheel in order to show the relationships between the colors. The order of the color wheel never changes The color wheel goes from Red to Violet, or speaking in scientific terms, from color with a shorter wavelength (red) to the longer wavelength (purple)

There are three properties to color. Color Theory Color Schemes Every time you pick color to add to a work, you are creating a color scheme to add meaning to your art. Primary The colors you can’t make, bright and bold. Simple. Secondary Colors you get when you mix two primaries. Still bright and bold, but a little less than using only primaries. Intermediate Colors that are a mix between a primary and a secondary. More muted. Complementary Colors across from each other on the color wheel When they are beside each other they seem really bright. High contrast! Kind of hurts your eyes Analogous Neighbors on the color wheel Calming for our eyes. Our brains like similar things Temperature of the color Makes you think of warm or cool things Warm (Red, orange, yellow) Cool (Blue, purple, green) Color Mood How a color makes you feel when you look at it Red – Angry Blue – calm Green – healthy Meaning changes based on when/where you are in the world!
