INTENSITY
Color can be described in three ways.

By name, By purity, and by value or lightness.
We have several terms to help us describe
colors in those three ways. As you read the
terms below glance back at the image above.

Hue: When someone is talking
about hue they are talking about the
actual color of an object. Green is a
hue as are red, yellow, blue, purple,
etc.

Chroma: Refers to the purity of a
hue in relation to gray. When there is
no shade of gray in a color that color
has a high chroma. Adding shades of
gray to a hue reduces it’s chroma.

  Saturation: is the degree of purity of a hue. It’s similar to chroma, though not
  quite the same thing. Pure hues are highly saturated. When gray is added the color
  becomes desaturated.

  Intensity: The brightness or dullness of a color. Adding white or black to a color
  lowers it’s intensity. An intense and highly saturated color has a high chroma.

  Value/Luminance: Is a measure of the amount of light reflected from a color and
is basically how light or dark a hue is. Adding white to a hue makes it lighter and
increases its value or luminance. Consequently adding black makes it darker and
lowers the value or luminance.

  Shade: The result of adding black to a hue to produce a darker hue.

  Tint: The result of adding white to a hue to produce a lighter hue.

  Tone: In between black and white we have gray. A color tone is the result of
adding gray to a hue. Shades and tints are tones at the extremes.

Monochromatic Color Scheme




Monochromatic color scheme consists of
different values of one color. These color

  schemes are easy to get right and can

       be very effective, soothing

            and authoritative.
Complementary Color Scheme




Complementary colors are colors that are
  opposite each other on the color wheel,
  such as blue and orange, red and green,
purple and yellow. These colors, when used
  side-by-side, make each other appear
   brighter. When they are mixed, they
          neutralize each other.
Split Complementary Color Scheme




 Split-complementary color scheme is a color
  scheme that includes a main color and the
 two colors on each side of its complementary
 (opposite) color on the color wheel. Colors
   that should be used are red/purple and
                yellow/green.
Analogous Color Scheme




Analogous color schemes are colors that a adjacent
 to each other on the color wheel. Some examples
  are green, light green, and yellow or red, orange
     and yellow. Analogous color schemes are
           often found in nature and are
                pleasing to the eye.
Triad Color Scheme




Triadic color scheme is a colors in which
 3 colors of equidistant distribution on
 the color wheel are used, such as the
   basic triad of red, yellow and blue
               primaries.
Tetrad Color Scheme




Tetradic color scheme: Tetrads are
    any four colors with a logical
relationship on the color wheel, such
      as double complements.
WARM          &      COOL

                  Colors




 The colors of red, orange, and yellow are

considered warm colors because they are

             the colors of fire.

Blue, green, and violet are considered cool

colors. When you think of a cool lake or ice
                  covered

         pond, you see cool colors.
COO L   CO LO R




WARM   CO L O R
TINT         &    SHADE

A tint is a mixture of pure hue and white. Think of a

 color like red saturated with lots of white. As more
white is added the color becomes a lighter and lighter
         tint of red, until it turns to pale pink.



The shade of a color refers to how dark it is. It is the

combination of a hue and black. Thus, burgundy is a
shade of red, hunter is a shade of green, and rust is a
                   shade of orange.
Color Theory
SATURATION                 or   INTENSITY


   The purity and brightness of a
 colour; The relative saturation of a
 hue on a scale from bright (pure) to
  dull (mixed) with another hue or a
     neutral; also called chroma.

Pure colors of the spectrum are fully
 saturated. An intense color is very
vivid. The more saturated a color is,
less will be the feeling of movement of
           the same object



                  100% Light (white)




                   50% Light (gray)




                    0% Light (black)
