3. History of Color Theory
In 1666, English scientist Sir Isaac Newton discovered that when pure white light passes through a prism, it separates into all of the visible colors.
WHITE = presence of all colors
BLACK = absence of all colors

4. Color Relationships PRIMARY- Red, Blue, Yellow
SECONDARY – Mix 2 primary colors of equal parts
Orange = Red+Yellow
Green= Blue+Yellow
Violet= Blue+Red
TERTIARY - Mixing 1 primary and 1 secondary colors together
ex: yellow-orange (always name the primary first)
NEUTRAL - created by mixing 2 complementary colors together
ex: Red+Green=Neutral
EARTH TONES = Color + Neutral

5. Color Properties: Hue, Value, Intensity
Value: lightness or darkness of a color
Monochromatic: Tints and Shades of ONE color create VALUE
Tint = Color + White
Shade = Color + Black
Tone = Color + Grey

7. Color Harmony
Complementary- colors opposite of each other on the color wheel
ex: blue&orange, red&green, violet&yellow
Analogous- 3 colors next to each other on the color wheel
Warm - yellow to red-violet
Cool - yellow-green to violet

9. Complementary
