C l ThColor Theory• In the visual arts, color theory is a body of , y y
practical guidance to color mixing and the visual impacts of specific color combinationscombinations.
• Specifically, color is light, and light is composed of many colors—those we see are the colors of the visual spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Objects absorb certain wavelengths and reflect others back to certain wavelengths and reflect others back to the viewer. We perceive these wavelengths as color.

I t it t ti d l i t l t d tIntensity, saturation and value are inter-related terms and have to do with the description of a color.
Usually colors with the same hue are distinguishedUsually, colors with the same hue are distinguished with adjectives referring to their lightness or darkness in value, such as with "light blue", "pastel blue", "vivid blue”.blue .
Example of MONOCHROMATIC COLOR scheme. A color scheme made up of shades, values, and tones of one color.

Intensity: The brightness or dullness of a y ghue. One may lower the intensity by adding white or black.
Value: A measure of the amount of light reflected from a hue. Those hues with a high
t t f hit h hi h l icontent of white have a higher luminance or value.

COLOR WHEELThe color wheel or color circle is the basic tool for combining colors. It is the basis of color harmony. The wheel encompasses various aspects of color theory, which assists artists to make strategic color decisions.

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary ColorsThe primary colors are red,
ll d blyellow and blue.
The three secondary colors(green orange and purple) are(green, orange and purple) are created by mixing two primary colors.
Red + Yellow = OrangeRed + Yellow OrangeYellow + Blue = GreenRed + Blue = Purple
Another six tertiary colors are created by mixing primary and secondary colors.

Warm colors are vivid and energetic, and tend to advance in space.
Cool colors give an impression of calm, and create a soothing impression.g p
White, black and gray are considered to be neutral.

If l i dIf a color is made lighter by adding white the result iswhite, the result is called a tint.
If black is added, the darker version is called a shade.
