    The document discusses the color wheel and color theory. It explains that the color wheel shows relationships between colors and is used by artists. The primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. Secondary colors are created by mixing two primary colors: green from yellow and blue, orange from red and yellow, and purple from blue and red. Tertiary colors are made from mixing a primary and secondary color. The color wheel also explains color values, tints, shades, tones, and different color schemes including monochromatic, complementary, split complementary, analogous, and color triads. It defines warm colors like red, orange, and yellow and cool colors like blue, green, and violet.

    COLOR WHEEL

    The Color
    Wheel

    The color wheel shows


    relationships between
    the colors.

    Artists often use the color


    wheel to understand how
    colors relate to one
    another.
    Primary
    Colors

    The primary colors are


    Red, Blue, and
    Yellow.
    Primary colors cannot be
    made from other colors.
    Secondary
    Colors
    By mixing two primary
    colors, a secondary color
    is created.

    Yellow + Blue = Green

    Red + Yellow =
    Orange

    Blue + Red = Purple


    Tertiary
    Colors
    Intermediate, or Tertiary,
    colors are created by
    mixing a primary and a
    secondary color.
    The Colors Wheel

    1. Primary Colors
    2. Secondary Colors
    3. Tertiary Colors
    Color Values
    Color values are the lightness
    and darkness of a color that
    you create by using black and
    white with a color. This makes
    hundreds of more colors from
    the basic 12 colors of the
    wheel.

    Color + White = Tint


    Color + Black = Shade
    Tint, Shade, & Tone
    SHADE
    A shade of color is made
    by mixing that color with
    black.
    TINT
    A tint of color is made by
    mixing that color with
    white.
    TONE .
    A tone of color is made by
    mixing that color with
    gray.
    Color Schemes

    • Monochromatic Colors Scheme


    • Complementary Colors Scheme
    • Split Complements Scheme
    • Analogous colors Scheme
    • Color Triads Scheme
    Monochromatic Colors

    Monochrome means one color. A monochromatic color


    scheme is a color scheme that uses only one hue and the
    tints and shades of that hue.
    Complementary Colors

    Complementary colors are the colors opposite each other


    on the color wheel.
    Split Complement colors
    A split complement is the combination of one hue plus the hues
    on each side of its complement.
    This is easier to work with than a straight complementary
    scheme because it offers more variety. For example, start with
    red-orange. Check the color wheel to find its complement, blue-
    green.
    Analogous colors

    Analogous colors are colors that sit side by side on the


    color wheel and have a Common hue. Violet, red-violet,
    red, red-orange, and orange all have red in common.
    Color Triads
    A color triad is composed of three colors spaced an
    equal distance apart on the color wheel.
    For example Green, Orange, and Violet on color
    wheel make color triads.
    Warm and Cool Colors

    Warm colors
    Warm colors are red, orange,
    and yellow. They are usually associated
    with warm things, such as sunshine or
    fire .

    Cool colors
    Cool colors are blue,
    green, and violet. They are usually
    associated with cool things, such as ice,
    snow, water, or grass
