intoyour eyes. There are three properties:1. Hue – The name of a colour.2. Intensity – The brightness or dullness of a colour.3. Value – The lightness or darkness of a colour.

Cool & Warm ColoursCool Colours – (Ex: Green, Blue, & Violet) Called “cool”
due to their resemblance of cool objects such as a damp forest or a lake. These colours are said to calm and relax the viewer.
Warm Colours – (Ex: Red, Orange, & Yellow) Called “warm” due to their resemblance of warm objects such as the sun, or fire. These colours are said to arouse or stimulate the viewer.
Note: Neutral Colors or earth tones are not seen on most color wheels. Black, grey, and whites are neutral. Browns, beige, taupes, and tans are neutral too.

Tints and ShadesTint: The mixture of a colour with white (Also
called a pastel color)
Shade: The mixture of a colour with black.
Mixing with white increases lightness, while mixing
with black reduces it.
Mixing with any neutral colour,including black and white, reduces chrome or colourfulness, leaving hue unchanged.

Tricks of CCoolloouurr to try with your Students
Exercise #1:Exercise #1:Each band of colour seems to shift from light todark. But each band is actually a solid colour!
Why? Colours seem to change when placed next to lighter or
darker colors because of the contrast. See for yourself,Try this yourself!
Exercise #2:Exercise #2: Stare at the black dot, for 15 seconds. Once the yellow circles disappear you should see yellow where the white spaces used to be. You may even see a faint violet
image.
This is an after image of the yellow circles. Try it yourself!
