Color is one of the most expressive elements because its quality affects our emotions directly and immediately. This presentation has all about the colors & it's theory includes about the colors, history, Physiological Principles of Color etc.

2. Color Theory: Overview
• Color is one of the most expressive elements
because
• its quality affects our emotions directly and
immediately.
• In representational art, color serves to identify
objects
• and to create the effect of illusionistic space

3. The Color WheelThe Color Wheel
•The color wheel shows
relationships between
the colors.
•The color wheel is
divided into three
categories: primary,
secondary, and tertiary.
•Artists often use the
color wheel to help
understand how colors
relate to one another.

Let’s learn about
Color!

5. It's easy to mix paints to make new colors.
You can use the primary colors (red, blue,
and yellow) plus black and white to get all
of the colors of the rainbow!
COLOR MIXING
Primary + Secondary

6. COLOR MIXING
Primary + Secondary
•When you mix the Primary Colors together, you get the
Secondary Colors.
•The three primary colors are red, yellow and blue.
•These colors are considered to be foundation colors
because they are used to create all other colors.
What colors do these make?
Red + Yellow =
Red + Blue =
Blue + Yellow =
Orange
Green
Purple

7. COLOR MIXING
Primary + Secondary
• By combining two of the
primary colors, three
secondary colors are
formed. They are
orange, green and violet.
• The six tertiary colors
are made by combining
a primary and an
adjacent secondary
color. These colors are
red-orange, red-violet,
yellow-green, yellow-
orange, blue-green and
blue-violet.

8. COLOR MIXING
Tints and Shades
Making Tints and Shades
•A shade of color is made by mixing that color with black.
•A tint of color is made by mixing that color with white.

10. Warm Colors
• The warm colors are red, orange,
yellow, and anything in between.
• They are called warm because they
remind you of the sun or fire.
• Warm colors seem to come out at
you in space.
The Fighting Temeraire by William Turner
In The Fighting Temeraire by William Turner, the warm colors of the sunset give a
feeling of brightness and heat. Look at the red spreading from the setting sun and
the deep golden glow on the water. If you're feeling cold, looking at colors like these
can actually make you feel warmer!

11. Cool Colors
Artist: Pablo Picasso
Year: 1939
Title: Femme Allongée Lisant
•The Cool colors are blue, green,
purple and anything in between.
•They are called cool because they
remind you of the earth or a cool creek.
•Cool colors seem to recede from you in space.

12. Neutrals
• Neutrals don't usually show up on the color wheel. Neutrals include
black, white, gray, and sometimes brown and beige. They are
sometimes called “earth tones.”
• There are a few different ways to make neutrals. You can blend black
and white to make gray. You can create brown in two ways—by
blending two complementary colors together or by blending all three
primary colors together.

13. Color schemes
• A monochromatic scheme
consists of different values
(tints and shades) of a single
color. An example of a
monochrome color scheme
could include any color mixed
with white or above black.
The example is a green
monochromatic color scheme.
• A shade of green is made
by mixing green and
black.
• A tint of green is made by
mixing green and white.
Monochromatic Colors

14. • These colors are located
next to each other on the
wheel, such as:
• Blue, Blue-green, Green
• Red, Red-Orange, and
Orange
• Analogous colors are
sometimes called
harmonious colors.
.
Analogous Colors

15. • Complementary colors are the
colors that are directly across from
each other on the color wheel
• Blue & Orange
• Red & Green
• Purple & Yellow
• When used together in a design
they make each other seem
brighter and more intense.
(example: red and green) Mixed
together makes brown.
Complementary
Colors

16. • A split-compliment color
scheme includes a main
color and the two colors
on each side of its
complementary
(opposite) color on the
color wheel.
• An example of a split-
compliment color
scheme could be green,
violet-red, and red-
orange.
Split-Complement Color Scheme

17. • A double split-
complement (also
called tetradic) uses
two pairs of
complements, one
space apart on the
color wheel.
• An example is red,
green, orange, and
blue.
Double Split-Complement Color
Scheme

18. Triadic Color Scheme
• A triadic color scheme
uses colors at the points
of an equilateral triangle
(three colors spaced
equally on the color
wheel).
• These are sometimes
called balanced colors.
• An example of a triadic
color scheme could be
red, blue, and yellow;
green, orange, and
purple, etc.

19. Color History & Physiological Principles of Color will be continue
in the next parts.
