This document provides an overview of color theory, including definitions of key color terms, descriptions of primary, secondary and tertiary colors, explanations of different color schemes, and discussions of color value, saturation, and temperature. It defines color as the byproduct of light spectrum perceived by the human eye and brain. It describes hue, tint, tone, shade, value, and saturation. It explains that primary colors cannot be mixed, secondary colors are made from two primary colors, and tertiary colors are made from a primary and secondary color. It also outlines several color schemes including monochromatic, analogous, complementary, and split complementary.

- 5. Language of Color - Color Terms
- 6. Hue: Another name for color Tint: Color + White Tone: Color + Gray Shade: Color + Black Value: The lightness or darkness of a color Saturation: The purity of a color There are 12 hues. Any other color is a tint, tone or shade of one of these hues, unless it is a neutral. Color Terms in Color Theory
- 9. There are three families of colors: • Primary • Secondary • Tertiary. Types Color Families
- 10. Primary Colors
- 11. Primary Colors About Primary colors • These are RED, BLUE and YELLOW. • They cannot be mixed from any other color.
- 12. Primary Colors About Secondary colors • These are ORANGE, GREEN and VIOLET. • They are made by mixing two primary colors.
- 13. Primary Colors About Tertiary colors • These are RED-ORANGE, YELLOW-ORANGE, YELLOW-GREEN, BLUE- GREEN, BLUE-VIOLET and RED-VIOLET. • They are made by mixing one primary and one secondary color.
- 14. About Neutrals colors • Neutrals are colors without hue. • NEUTRALS: These are WHITE, BLACK and GRAY. White reflects all colors and black absorbs them all. Gray results from mixing white and black.

- 17. About Neutrals colors • Neutrals are colors without hue. • NEUTRALS: These are WHITE, BLACK and GRAY. White reflects all colors and black absorbs them all. Gray results from mixing white and black.
- 18. About color schemes • In color theory, a color scheme is the choice of colors used in design for a range of media
- 19. Few Names of Color Schemes
- 20. List of color schemes • Achromatic Scheme • Monochromatic Scheme • Analogous Scheme • Extended Analogous Scheme • Complementary Scheme • Split Complementary Scheme • Triadic Scheme • Contrasting Scheme • Full Spectrum • Color Value (Light vs. Dark) • Saturation (Color Intensity) • Color Temperature (Warm vs. Cool) • The 12 Hues
- 24. monochromatic color scheme A monochromatic color scheme is comprised of the tints, tones and shades of any one color or neutral.
- 28. monochromatic color scheme An analogous color scheme uses any 3 shades, tints or tones of colors that lie adjacent to each other on the color wheel.
- 31. extended analogous color scheme scheme An extended analogous color scheme uses any 4 or more shades, tints or tones of colors that lie adjacent to each other on the color wheel.
- 32. A complementary color scheme scheme A complementary color scheme uses a tint, tone or shade of one color and combines it with the color that lies directly across from it on the color wheel.
- 33. A split color scheme A split complementary color scheme uses a tint, tone or shade of one color and combines it with the colors that lie adjacent to the color directly across from it on the color wheel.
- 34. Triadic color scheme A triadic color scheme is comprised of 3 colors on the color wheel which are equally spaced from each other.
- 35. Contrasting color scheme Contrasting colors are very similar to complementary colors. Colors that contrast help each other to stand out more vibrantly.
- 36. VALUE & SATURATION • Value is the relative lightness or darkness of a color. • Saturation (or purity) describes how pure a color is. • A color that is pure is clear and bright. • Adding black causes it to become muddy and dark, giving it a shade. • Adding white causes the color to become washed out or tinted.
- 37. COLOR TEMPERATURE Colors can be divided into 2 groups: • the warm (or aggressive) colors of reds, oranges and yellows, • the cool (or receding) colors of greens, blues and violets.
