2. INTRODUCTION TO THE LIGHT

3. WHAT ARE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES ?
• If you have ever tuned in to listen to a radio,
spoken on a handphone, turned on a light,
had an X-ray taken, felt the warmth of sun
on your skin.
• You have experienced electromagnetic
wave

4. • can all be reflected or refracted

5. • can all be emitted or absorbed by matter.

8. LIGHT
• Visible light is the part of the
Electromagnetic spectrum which can be
detected by the human eye.
• The visible light has its own spectrum which
consist of the 7 colours of light :
RED ORANGE YELLOWYELLOW GREEN
BLUE INDIGO VIOLET

9. COLOR DESIGN THEORY

10. “Color is not given to us in order that we
should imitate nature. It was given to
us so that we can express our own
emotions,”
Henri Matisse

11. SPECTRUM
• All color is contained within white light.
When light passes through a crystal prism it is
dispersed into the spectrum range of visible
colors.

12. THE COLOR WHEEL
• The color wheel is a chart of colors of the
visible spectrum that is used to show how
colors relate to each other.

13. • The colour wheel is at the centre of colour
theory and is a simple means of showing the
relationships between colours. Usually,
colours on the right side of the wheel are
warm whereas those on the left are cool.

14. THE COLOR WHEEL IS MADE UP OF :
1.three primary colors,
2.three secondary colors,
and
3.six tertiary colors.

15. PRIMARY COLORS
• There are just three primary colours: red, yellow and
blue. Primary colours cannot be made or mixed
from other colours; they are the essentials from
which all other colours are made.

16. SECONDARY COLORS
• Mixing each of the primary colours with its
neighbour in equal amounts produces the
three secondary colours: green, orange and
purple.

17. TERTIARY COLORS
• Mixing a primary colour and a secondary colour (in a ratio of 2:1)
produces a tertiary colour. These tertiary colours are usually given a
two word name, such as blue-green, yellow-green, red-purple, blue-
purple, red orange and yellow-orange.
• Ratio means proportion; so a ratio of 2:1 means two measures of one
colour and one measure of the other. For example: blue, blue and
green gives blue-green, yellow, yellow and green gives yellow-green.
