Color Theory Basics this Slide i tried to share some tips and inspiraion and some major discuss about Color Theory .I hope you enjoy it all.A color wheel or colour circle is an abstract illustrative organization of color hues around a circle, which shows the relationships between primary colors,
4. 1.What is Color?
Color is all around us. It is a sensation that adds excitement and emotion to
our lives. Everything from the cloths we wear, to the pictures we paint
revolves around color. Without color; the world (especially RGB World) would
be a much less beautiful place.
5. The Color Wheel
A color circle, based on red, yellow and blue, is traditional in the field of art. Sir Isaac
Newton developed the first circular diagram of colors in 1666.
6. Categories of colors based on the
color wheel.
1.Primary Color
2.Secondary Color
3. Tertiary Color
7. Primary Color
Red, yellow and blue
In traditional color theory (used in
paint and pigments), primary colors
are the 3 pigment colors that cannot be
mixed or formed by any combination
of other colors. All other colors are
derived from these 3 hues.
9. Tertiary Color
Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-
purple, blue-purple, blue-green &
yellow-green
These are the colors formed by
mixing a primary and a
secondary color. That's why the
hue is a two word name, such as
blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-
orange.
15. Hue
Hue is somewhat synonymous to
what we usually refer to as
"colors". Red, green, blue, yellow,
and orange are a few examples
of different hues. The different
hues have different wavelengths
in the spectrum.
16. Tints
Tint is a color term commonly used by
painters. A tint is a mixing result of
an original color to which has been
added white.
17. Shades
Shade is a color term commonly used by painters. A shade is a
mixing result of an original color to which has been added black.
18. Tone
Tone is a color term commonly used by painters. There is a
broader and a narrower definition of tone.Mixing gray with
your color then you get a tone.

21. Value
Value is defined as the relative lightness or darkness of a color.
It is an important tool for the designer/artist, in the way that it
defines form and creates spatial illusions.
22. Saturation
Saturation can also be called a color's intensity. It is a
measurement of how different from pure grey the color is.
Saturation is not really a matter of light and dark, but rather
how pale or strong the color is.
24. Complementary color scheme
Colors that are opposite each
other on the color wheel are
considered to be
complementary colors
(example: red and green).
25. Analogous color scheme
Colors that are opposite each
other on the color wheel are
considered to be
complementary colors
(example: red and green).
26. Triadic color scheme
A triadic color scheme uses
colors that are evenly spaced
around the color wheel.
Triadic color schemes tend to
be quite vibrant, even if you use
pale or unsaturated versions of
your hues.
