1. Color Theory
Hue, Tint, Tone, Shade

2. What is color?
the appearance of objects (or light sources) described in terms of a person''s perception of their hue and lightness (or brightness) and saturation

3. So then how is it made?
Believe it or not, but the reason we have color is because we have light! Color is the way our eyes interpret the energies contained within a beam of light!
The energies of light contain a large spectrum of colors. When light touches an object, some of these energies are absorbed (taken in) by it, and others are reflected (cast back). – It’s the energies that are reflected which your eyes collect and then interpret as a specific color!

4. The Color Wheel -Primary -Secondary Tertiary
Colors on the color wheel are divided into three groups:
-Primary
-Secondary
Tertiary

5. Primary Red, Yellow and Blue
Primary colors cannot be made by combining other colors, but all colors can be made from them.

6. Secondary
Orange (red + yellow), Green (yellow + blue), Violet (blue + red)
Secondary colors are made by combining two primary colors.

7. Intermediate
Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green, Blue-Green, Blue-Violet, Red- Violet, Red-Orange
Intermediate colors are made by combining a primary color and a secondary color. The resulting color name lists the primary color first, followed by the secondary color.

8. Complementary Opposite hues on the color wheel

9. Complementary
What happens when you mix two complementary colors together?
You create brown, or a neutral color.
A neutral color means without color. Example: beige, tan, ivory, taupe etc.

10. Analogous 

Analogous color schemes use colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. They usually match well and create serene and comfortable designs.
Analogous color schemes are often found in nature and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

11. Hue: (Also referred to as color)
Hue ranges from warm to cool
Hue is what we usually mean when we ask “what color is that?” The characteristic of color that we are actually asking about is “hue”. For example, when we talk about colors that are red, yellow, green and blue, we are talking about hue.

12. Shade:
The shade of a color refers to how dark it is. It is the combination of a hue and black. Thus, burgundy is a shade of red, hunter is a shade of green, and rust is a shade of orange.

13. Tint
A tint is a color to which white has been added to make it lighter. Take pink, for instance. Pink is a color, but it's also a tint of red.

14. Tone
A Tone is created by adding both White and Black. Any color that is "greyed down" is considered a Tone.
Black + White= Gray

15. Temperature White, black and gray are considered to be neutral.
Warm Colors: Red, Orange, and Yellow
Cool Colors: Green, Blue, and Purple
Warm colors are vivid and energetic, and tend to advance in space.
Cool colors give an impression of calm, and create a soothing impression.
White, black and gray are considered to be neutral.

16. Intensity: (also referred to as saturation)
Intensity ranges from vivid to dull
All hues on the color wheel are at their maximum intensity, or most vivid. You can dull any hue by adding gray. The amount of dulling is controlled by the strength of the gray added.
