Analogous harmonies

A color harmony of three or four colors that are adjacent on the color wheel. the similarity of analogous colors tends to produce a calm relaxed feeling in an artwork ex: yellow, yellow-orange and orange

Tones

A hue mixed with either a small quantity of gray or the complement of the hue, resulting in dulling the hue.

Albert H. Munsell Theory

A precise, formula-based system for notating specific colors

Shibusa

A theory of harmonizing color so that combined hues are appealing for a long period of time. Based on ratios and proportions of nature.

Grays

Achieved by mixing various amounts of black and white, which makes true achromatic grays

Warm Colors (Red Orange Yellow)

Active, Fun, Stimulating

Season and climate

Affect color. Winter = Fewer warm wavelengths...Summer - has more wavelengths

Afterimage

An image (usually a negative image) that persists after stimulation has ceased

Dark and Dull or Neutralized Colors

Are serious and profound

Monochromatic

Black/White/Grays + Neutrals + One Color

Texture and Materials

Catch, absorb, and reflect light. Changes colors depending on the light.

Simultaneous Contrast

Changes in perceived hue that occur when a colored stimulus is displayed on backgrounds of various colors

East light

Clear and bright

North light

Clear and cool

Warm Fluorescent Lighting

Closer to Full-spectral energy distribution light

As light changes,

Color changes

Pigments or Dystuffs

Colored chemical compounds, including natural compounds in the earth, that absorb light; A compound that is a coloring agent for paint, ink, crayons and chalk. a nonsoluable coloring matter that is held onto the surface of the fabric with a resin binder

Spectral Light

Colored light inherent in nature

Hue Identity

Colors can be persuaded by other colors.

Spectral Colors

Colors that become visible when white light passes through a prism: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

South Light

Constant and warm

Split Complements

Contain a base hue and the two colors on each side of its direct complement - yellow, red-violet and blue-violet

Fluorescent LIghting

Contains more cool spectral colors than warm

Incandescent Lighting

Contains more warm wavelengths than cool

Combustion Lighting

Contains more warm wavelengths, although the flickering quality is generally darker, making colors appear darker.

Shades

Dark value of a color made by adding black

Pastels

Lightened tones or tints of tones made by adding white. They are dull or "dirty' and livable as wall colors - rich but nonassertive

Shibushi

Like Frank Loyd Wright - Based on nature with intense colors as accents and tons of texture

Artificial Lighting

In some forms nearly full spectrum

Color Deficiency

Inability to distinguish value (light and dark) or pairs of complements one from another, frequently red and green

Chroma

Intensity - the relative brightness vs. the dullness - the amount of pure chroma in a given hue

Color

Is most changed by light.

High Contrast

Light and dark values are used to give a sharp or bold contract, precision, drama, or excitement and a clean contemporary scheme. Look professional - No nonsense

Often in retail design and fast-food places. Sense of hurrying is seen.

Subtractive Color Mixing

Optical Color Mixing - Colors placed near one another are visually mixed in a way, which allows us to physically see or interpret colors other than spectral colors.

Spectral Energy Distribution Factor

Orientation or Direction of natural light

Direct Complement Colors

Pairs exactly opposite - red and green; yellow and violet blue and orange...or blue-green and red-orange

Standard Color-Wheel Theory

Palette theory, Prang theory, David Brewster color theory; color circle...Based on three primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) and the variations derived by mixing these, plus black and white. Colors are arranged in a circle, with secondary and tertiary or intermediate colors placed between the primary colors.

Cool Colors (Blue Green Violets)

Peaceful, Calm, Dramatic, Receding

The direction of natural light, means a slant to the spectrum that affects the way colors appear

The families of whites and off-whites, grays, and blacks and off-blacks.

Value

The lightness or darkness of the hue

Law of Chromatic Distribution

The more neutralized colors of the scheme are found in the largest areas, and the smaller the area, the brighter or more intense the chroma becomes.

Full-spectrum Light

all the wavelengths of the visible energy bands seen on a clear, cloudless day.

Browns and beiges

are also often considered neutrals, even though they are actually neutralized colored hues.

Mid-tones

are colors at their normal value or natural saturation point. Give a sense of normality and calm evoking less reaction and are safe, stable, and easy to live with

Browns and Beiges

are often favored because of the warm qualities that they bring to an interior

Off-whites

are produced by adding other neutrals (gray, black, brown) to white or by mixing color and neutrals into white.

Whites and off-whites

give interior increased visual space

Color-group Moods

groups of color that produce emotional response

Violet

has the darkest natural saturation point

Achromatic

having no hue

Monochromatic

having or appearing to have only one color

Neutrals have all of

the colors that are not on the Color Wheel. So yellow is not a neutral.

Visual Acuity

the degree of detail the eye can discern in an image, including the differences in color
