“ Understanding Color…and Color Wheels”
By: Marlene Loria MPA,Cr.Photog.
Color: A sensation aroused in the observer’s mind as a response to the stimulus of the radiant energy of certain wavelengths acting on the eye’s mechanism.
White light contains “all” the color wavelengths, and when white light passes through a prism, it sepa-rates into component parts in the familiar rainbow spectrum. Objects look the color they do becausemost of the wavelength components of white light are absorbed by natural pigments in the outer surface.The reflected light is made up of the unabsorbed wavelengths. These wavelengths are received by theeyes of the observer and identified as a “Particular Color”.
Color DefinitionsHues: are the pure colors.Value: is the lightness or darkness of a color.Chroma or Saturation or Intensity: describe the brightness or the dullness of a color.Tints: are made by adding white.Tones: are slight modifications of a color made by adding gray.Shades: are made by adding black.Neutral Gray: is created by mixing two (2) complimentary colors of equal density or by mixing black
and white together.
Color MixingLearning how to create color combinations will help you in every phase of retouching, enhancement andthe correction process. When you mix colors together it enable you to obtain a much wider range ofcolors. But in order to master the art of color mixing, it is essential to understand some of the elementssuch as knowing how to arrange your colors and how colors are related to one another. When you mixcolors together it is important to know which are the “Primary Colors”, and how you can make all the
“Secondary Colors” and the “Intermediary Colors” by mixing various primaries together.Once you understand how colors behave once they are mixed together, it is possible to have a unlim-ited number of choice of mixes.
Primary ColorsRED - YELLOW - BLUEAll others color that you will need, will come from the three (3) primaries. If you have these 3 colors,(whether oils, dyes, watercolors, opaque, etc.) you will be able to make “any” color you desire. Formyself I only have a select group of colors and mix everything else from those. Especially with my oils,this way I don’t have to put out a lot of money for a large color selection.
Pertaining to flesh colors, especially if hand coloring or selective tinting;
10
There is “no” one formula for obtaining the proper colors of a person’s skin, nor is there a specific fleshcolor that will always work, since the colors of a person’s flesh will depend on the colors that surroundor will surround the subject and the type of lighting used. All color ranges can be used to create a fleshcolor. Light skin for instance, is treated in a completely different way than dark skin. For lighter fleshtones we can mix together some yellow, red, white & blue. For dark skin colors, depending on thesurroundings, you could use more of the earth colors and some blue in the shadows.
Secondary ColorsBy mixing any two (2) primary colors of “equal” intensity you will produce the “Secondary Colors”
RED plus 50% YELLOW = ORANGE (secondary color)YELLOW plus 50% BLUE = GREEN (secondary color)BLUE plus 50% RED = PURPLE (secondary color)
Intermediary ColorsThese are produced by either adding 25% or 75% mixtures of the primary colors
RED plus 25% YELLOW = ORANGE/REDYELLOW plus 25% BLUE = LIME GREENRED plus 75% YELLOW = YELLOW/ORANGEBLUE plus 25% RED = VIOLETYELLOW plus 75% BLUE = TEAL/GREENBLUE plus 75% RED = MAGENTA
A good Retouch Artist is always experimenting with various colors, maybe even mixing differentbrands of dyes together or different types of oils, or watercolors, or gouache, etc. When you mixcolors together yourself it is rewarding and it produces a more personal touch & personal color.
There are “Tints” and “Tones” of each color
The Tints: are made by adding “white”If you take the three (3) Primary Colors and the three (3) Secondary Colors, add “white” to any onecolor in varying amounts, you will now create a whole new range of colors. You can go from PrimaryBlue to a pastel blue just by the amount of white added. The color is now made lighter.
The Tones: are made by adding “dark gray/black”If you take the three (3) Primary Colors and the three (3) Secondary Colors, add a “medium to darkgray” in varying amounts, you will create a a tone to each of the colors. A tone is a more “neutralized”version of the colors themselves. The color is now made grayer and darker.
The warm and the cool of colorThe warm colors are the ones that lie within the half circle of the color wheel that contains red & yellow.
The cool colors lie within the half circle of the color wheel that contains green & violet.
Colors create emotion or overall mood to a photograph; Light and bright colors are generally happycolors, warm colors are inviting with lots of mood and darker/black colors generally give a more seri-ous mood.Remember that color adds emotional impact and feeling to the image!
Complimentary ColorsComplimentary colors are directly “opposite” each other on any color wheel. Using the color wheel,you will be able to neutralize a “unwanted color” by adding the direct opposite color in varying de-grees. You will find that white areas in photographs, for example, often reflect surrounding colors anddo not appear white at all. However, it is easy to neutralize the reflected color by adding its complementfrom the color wheel.Example: If a white shirt appears a little too green, you know that by adding a “little” magenta it willcancel out the green. The results will be the desired white, with varying degrees of neutral gray in theshirt wherever there is density. The same principle would apply if a item appeared too orange, then byadding a “little” blue, you would be neutralizing the unwanted color.
Color WheelA rapidly spinning vertical wheel on which colored paper disks are mounted. It is used for variousexperiments in the optical mixture of colors. If the entire color spectrum is put on a disk and spunrapidly, it will appear white in accordance with the additive behavior of spectral colors.
There are “many” color wheels available; allranging in various prices. Here are some of myfavorites that you can either purchase individuallyor in combination with a book on mixing colors.• The Munsel System• Grumbacher Color Computer
• The Artist Color Wheel
Important Tip when selecting color:
- Bold Colors will make the object(or subject) appear larger- Warm Colors will make the object(or subject) advance and come forward- Cool Colors will make the object(or subject) recede and move back
