  1. COLOUR THEORY PROJECT

  2. The Science Of ColourNewton 1676 • Newton proved his theory that light travelled in straight lines not waves as previously thought. • He also proved that light is made of particles not waves.

  3. Subtractive Colour • A subtractive color model shows the mixing of a set of colourantsto create a wider range of colours. • Subtractive coloursystems use white light between the viewer and the light source which subtract wavelengths from the light, giving it colour.

  4. Additive Colour • Additive colour is color created by mixing light of two or more colours.The additive primary colours are normally used in additive colour system.  • It used darkness in the light sources of different wavelengths that are added in proportions to produce a range of colours.

  5. Johannes Itten’sColour Wheel • IttensColourWheel  is an abstract illustrative organization of colour hues around a circle that shows the relationships between primary, secondary and complimentary colours. • Itten established the colour wheel in the 1920’s.

  6. The Qualities Of Colour:Hue, Value & Saturation • HSV is most common cylindrical coordinate representations of points in an RGB colour model. • It was developed in the 1970s for computer graphics applications, and today is used in colour pickers in image editing software, and in image analysis  and computer vision.

  7. Primary Colours • Primary colours are colours that can be combined to make a range of secondary colours. • These primary colours are red, yellow and blue.

  8. Secondary Colours • Secondary colours are made up from the primary colours. • These secondary colours are green, orange and purple.

  9. Complimentary Colours • Complimentary colours lie opposite each other on the colour wheel. • Complementary colors are pairs of colours that are of oppositehue.

  10. Mixed Complimentary Colours • In colourtheory, two coloursare called complementary when mixed in the right proportion and they produce a neutral colour.

  11. Contrast Of Hue • Contrast of hue is the interaction of two or more different colours.

  12. Contrast Of Value • Contrast of value is the interaction of lightness or darkness.

  13. Cold Warm Contrast • The spectrum is divided into two sets of hues based on the temperature commonly associated with the hues. • This contrast has been called cold and warm contrast, contrast of temperature, or humidity contrast.

  14. Complimentary Contrast • Complementary Contrast is the interaction of one set of complement colours.

  15. Simultaneous Contrast • Simultaneous Contrastis the effect of coloursupon each other, gray or black can shift toward the complement of the colourwith which they're placed.

  16. Colour Harmonies • There are many theories for harmony. There are 3 colourshemes that present the basic colour harmony formulas. • 1. A colourscheme based on analogous colors • 2. A colourscheme based on complementary colors • 3. A colourscheme based on nature

  17. Monochromatic • Monochromatic colour relies on only one colourfamily to create a design. • It uses a combination of tints, tones, and shades from the same family to achieve the desired effect.

  18. Analogous • Analogous colourschemes use coloursthat are next to each other on the colourwheel. • They usually match well and look natural and comfortable. • Analogous colourschemes are often found in nature. They are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

  19. Tints • Tints are the lighter value of a pure hue, made by adding white.

  20. Shades • Shade has a darker value of a pure hue, made by adding black.

  21. Warm Colours • Warm colours are colors starting with yellow and continuing to red-violet on the color wheel, which convey warmth to a viewer.

  22. Cool Colours • Cool colours are colors starting with yellow-green & including violet that give a cool feeling.

  23. Triadic Colour Scheme • A triadic colourscheme uses coloursthat are evenly spaced around the colourwheel. • Triadic colourharmonies tend to be quite vibrant, even if pale or unsaturated versions of hues are used.

  24. Tetradic • The tetradiccolour scheme makes use of a combination of four colours, which sit opposite each other on the colour wheel in two complementary pairs.
