RA Color Theory- COLOR SPECTRUM
color
The general sensation perceived by the eye and mind due to the activity and vibration of light. Highly personal experience
prang color wheel
a circular arrangement of pigmentary hues that consists of 3 primary, 2 secondary, and 6 intermediate pigmentary hues
complementary color scheme
a color scheme that uses two hues which lie opposite each other on the color wheel is identified as
value of a pigmentary hue
a tint or shade may change the:
intensity of a pigmentary hue
a tone may change the
complementary hues
any two pigmentary hues that, by their mix in equal quantities, will produce gray
originial scientific standard of color
attributed to the efforts of Newton in his efforts to formally record the results of his experiments with color.
prang color system
based on its simplicity and ease of use, the pigment theory is based on:
shade
blue to which black has been added is
shade
burgundy, mustard, navy blue
primary spectral colors
classified as such by Sir Issac Newton because they could not be reproduced by physically mixing any colored light frequencies together.
blue
considered the "coolest" of the "cool" pigmentary hues
orange
considered the "warmest" of the "warm" pigmentary hues
intensity (chroma)
denotes the brightness or dullness (grayness) of a pigmentary color
hue
denotes the degree of "warmth" or "coolness" of pigmentary color
value
denotes the lightness or darkness of a pigmentary color
hue
denotes the name of a pigmentary color
pigment
external coloring matter that can be applied to a skin surface by hand, brush, sponge, pad or atomizer (spray)
"cool" side and "cool" pigmentary hues
green, blue, and purple or any intermediate pigmentary hues in which they predominate

how many hues are on the color wheel?
measurements of color in pigmentation
hue, value, intensity (chroma)
white
in the field of pigmentation, the abscense of all color is:
"warm" side and "warm" pigmentary hues
oftentimes referred to as "advancing hues"
"cool" side and "cool" pigmentary hues
oftentimes referred to as "receding hues"
secondary (binary) pigmentary hues
orange, green, purple
prang color system
pigment color theory that employs the color wheel is the:
intermediate pigmentary hues
pigmentary hues produced by an equal mixture of primary hues and its adjacent secondary hue
tertiary pigmentary hues
pigmentary hues that are produced by an unequal mixture of directly opposite hues on the color wheel.
tint
pink, lemon, sky blue
classifications of pigmentary color
primary hues, secondary hues, intermediate hues, tertiary hues, achromatic colors
tint
red to which white has been added is a
primary spectral colors
red, green, blue-purple (indigo)
slate-gray (blue-gray)
result when the "cool" hue is predominant in the mixture
brown
results when "warm" hue is predominant in the mixture
tone
results when a pigmentary hue is mixed with a small amount of its complement or a small amount of gray
shade
results when progressive quantities of black are added to a pigmentary hue
tint
results when the progressive quantities of white are added to a pigmentary hue
tones
tertiary hues are also refered to as:
tone
the addition of a small amount of green to a large amount of red creates a:
intensity
the brightness or dullness of a hue is its
primary pigmentary hues
the complement of a secondary pigmentary hue are ALWAYS:
intermediate pigmentary hues
the complement of an intermediate pigmentary hue are ALWAYS:
primary pigmentary hues
the compliment of a primary pigmentary hue is the product of the remaining:
secondary (binary) pigmentary hues
the equal mixture of two primary hue creates a
after-image
the hue complementary to that of the color stimulus
value
the lightness or darkness of a hue is referred to as its:
tertiary pigmentary hues
the mixture of a small amount of a cool hue with a large amount of a warm hue creates a
orange
the only spectral (prismatic) color that could not be classified as either a primary nor secondary prismatic color
juxtaposition
the placement of hues side by side or in close proximity to one another
dispersion
the process of breaking up white light (sunlight) into its many different wave lengths of light, commonly expressed as color frequencies
cool
those hues on the side of the color wheel containing green and blue are identified as
appear brighter
visual effect when complementary hues are viewd in juxtaposition- they reinforce each other and:
secondary spectral colors
(hues) classified as such by Sir Issac Newton because each could be reproduced by physically mixing two primary spectral hues in equal strengths
imperfections of pigments
-range is more narrow than that found in nature -fade or bleach when exposed to sunlight or air -aren't stable, often differing from purchase to purchase -absorb light rays when mixed together, often appearing gray
monochromatic color scheme
a color scheme utilizing one hue with its tints, shandes and tones is identified as
analogous color scheme
a color scheme utilizing two or more hues that have the same hue in common is identified as
black
according to Newton, in the field of light, the absence of all color is:
white
according to Newtwon, in the field of light, the presence of all color is:
purple
an equal mixture of red and blue
red-purple
an equal mixture of red and purple
green
an equal mixture of yellow and blue
yellow-green
an equal mixture of yellow and green
orange
an equall mixture of red and yellow
sources of pigment
animal matter, vegetable matter, mineral matter
dispersion
breaking up white light into its many colors is called
achromatic colors
colors that do no appear in the visible pigmentary spectrum, therefore having no hue
tertiary pigmentary hues
found in the inner most ring of the color wheel
warm
hues on the side of the color wheel containing red are identified as
"cool" side and "cool" pigmentary hues
in cosmetics, ornimental cosmetics come from this side of the color wheel
"warm" side and "warm" pigmentary hues
in cosmetics, skin tones come from this side of the color wheel
black
in the field of pigmentation, the presenceof all color is:
spectral prismatic colors
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo (blue-purple), violet (red-purple)
"warm" side and "warm" pigmentary hues
red, yellow, and orange or any intermediate pigmentary hue in which they predominate
juxtaposition
simultaneous contrast
not absorbed
the color of an object is determined by those wave lenghts of light (commonly expressed as color frequencies) that are:
ROY G BIV
the colors of the spectrum are represented by the letters:
reflected
the colors seen by the eye are those that are
intermediate pigmentary hues
the complement is the product that results from equally mixing the complements of those hues that produce the intermediate pigmentary hue in question
secondary (binary) pigmentary hues
the complement of a primary pigmentary hue are ALWAYS:
spectrum
the original scientific standard of color is the:
original scientific standard of color
the process of dispersion identified by name
standard pigmentary hues
the three primary hues and the three secondary hues in pigment are known as the
after-image
the visual impression remaining after the color stimulus has been removed
secondary (binary) pigmentary hues
their complement(s) are those pigmentary hues that do no enter into the production of the hue in question
"cool" side and "cool" pigmentary hues
those hues found on the right 1/2 of the color wheel, beginning with the hue of yellow-green and extending through purple.
"warm" side and "warm" pigmentary hues
those pigmentary hues found of the left 1/2 of the wheel, beginning with red-purple and extending through yellow
secondary (binary) pigmentary hues
those pigmentary hues produced by an equal mixture of two primary hues
primary pigmentary hues
those pigmentary hues that cannot be produced by mixing any other pigmentary hues together
primary pigmentary hues
those pigmentary hues that, when combined, produce all other hues
complementary hues
two hues that, when placed side by side, enrich each other are said to be
complementary hues
two pigmentary hues found directly opposite each other on the color wheel.
black
used to produce a shade of a hue
appear grayed
visual effect when non-complementary hues are viewed in juxtaposition:
tint
when created, the value of the pigmentary hue has been increased
shade
when created, the value of the pigmentary hue is decreased
primary pigmentary hues
which hues can be combined to create all other hues?
achromatic colors
white, black, all shades of gray, silver, gold
secondary spectral colors
yellow (red+green), blue (green+blue purple), red-purple *violet (red + blue purple)
primary pigmentary hues
yellow, red, blue
intermediate pigmentary hues
