The Color Wheel
This is the color wheel. We will be breaking it down to understand how color works.
![Page 3: Color Theory 7th Grade Cruise Part II. The Color Wheel This is the color wheel. We will be breaking it down to understand how color works](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649e7d5503460f94b80651/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Primary ColorsYellow, red and blue are the primary colors. Most other colors can be mixed from the primary colors.Yellow, red, and blue cannot be mixed.

The Secondary Colors
The secondary colors are mixed from the primaries: Yellow + Red =
OrangeRed + Blue = VioletBlue + Yellow =
Green

The Intermediate Colors
The intermediate, or tertiary colors, are represented by the smallest circles on the wheel. They are
mixed from a primary and a secondary that are beside each other on the wheel.

Intermediate ColorsHere is an example
of how intermediate colors are mixed:Yellow + Orange =Yellow-Orange(Note that the
primary name is listed first.)

Tints and ShadesTo tint a color, add white.To shade a color,
add black.Example:Red + White = PinkRed + Black =
Maroon

Complements Complementary
colors are opposite each other on the color wheel.
Examples are: Red and Green Yellow and Violet Blue and Orange

Split Complement
A split complement incorporates the intermediate colors surrounding one of the pairs of a com-plement. Example:Yellow with Red-
Violetand Blue-Violet

Analogous Colors
An analogous color scheme incorporatescolors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel.Example:Blue, Blue-Green, and Blue-Violet, plus tints and shades
![Page 12: Color Theory 7th Grade Cruise Part II. The Color Wheel This is the color wheel. We will be breaking it down to understand how color works](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649e7d5503460f94b80651/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Warm and Cool Colors
The color wheel can be divided into two areas:
Warm colors- fireCool colors- water
Cool
Warm

Look at how color schemes affect a
composition.
![Page 14: Color Theory 7th Grade Cruise Part II. The Color Wheel This is the color wheel. We will be breaking it down to understand how color works](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649e7d5503460f94b80651/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Too many colors, randomly placed, can be visually confusing!
![Page 15: Color Theory 7th Grade Cruise Part II. The Color Wheel This is the color wheel. We will be breaking it down to understand how color works](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649e7d5503460f94b80651/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The primary colors are very intense. They catch your eye!
![Page 16: Color Theory 7th Grade Cruise Part II. The Color Wheel This is the color wheel. We will be breaking it down to understand how color works](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649e7d5503460f94b80651/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Monochromatic colors are the tints and shades of one color. There has to be a lot of variety for this scheme to work.
![Page 17: Color Theory 7th Grade Cruise Part II. The Color Wheel This is the color wheel. We will be breaking it down to understand how color works](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649e7d5503460f94b80651/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A complementary color scheme uses opposite colors and therefore has wonderful contrast.
![Page 18: Color Theory 7th Grade Cruise Part II. The Color Wheel This is the color wheel. We will be breaking it down to understand how color works](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649e7d5503460f94b80651/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
An analogous scheme flows well as the colors are closely related.
![Page 19: Color Theory 7th Grade Cruise Part II. The Color Wheel This is the color wheel. We will be breaking it down to understand how color works](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649e7d5503460f94b80651/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Warm colors tend to be aggressive in a composition, whereas cool colors recede.
![Page 20: Color Theory 7th Grade Cruise Part II. The Color Wheel This is the color wheel. We will be breaking it down to understand how color works](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649e7d5503460f94b80651/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Neutrals are the result of mixing all the colors, the primaries, or even just compliments. They tend to be in the brown to gray range.
Using the neutrals in a composition isa good way to study contrast and value.

Other ways to select colors for a composition

Triads and Tetrads
A triad is a group of three colors that are equidistant from
each other on the wheel.
A tetrad is a group of four colors on the wheel.

Select a TriadRed- Orange,
Blue-Violet, and Yellow-Green, plus their tints and shades, will be used in the following compo-sition.

The result is a harmonious composition with good contrast.
