---|---|---|---|---|
What is orange
The color made when red mixes with yellow in the Subtractive paint Color Theory.
|
What are Analogous Colors?
Closely related colors, neighbors on the color wheel—yellow-green, green and blue-green, etc.
|
What are Warm Colors?
Those colors in the long-wavelength, red-orange half of the color wheel
|
What is a Shade?
A color differing slightly from a specified hue or color as a result of adding black? A term used to define degrees of darkening, indicating a pure color has been mixed with black.
|
What is Additive Color Theory?
The color theory less costly to study in theory.
|
What is Blue-green?
The color made when blue mixes with green in the Subtractive paint Color Theory.
|
What are Complementary Colors?
Pairs of colors which, when mixed together, produce grey: red and green, blue and orange, yellow and purple, for instance. They sit directly opposite each other on the color wheel.
|
What are Cool Colors?
Those colors in the shorter-wavelength, green-to-blue-to-violet half of the spectrum.
|
What is Saturation?
The term used to describe the strength or vividness of a hue.
|
What is Subtractive Color Theory?
The color theory that is best used in ink, paint, or print work of all kinds.
|
What is yellow?
The color made when red mixes with green in the Additive Light Color Theory.
|
What are Red, Blue, and Green?
The primary colors of the Additive Color Theory.
|
What is Split Complementary Colors?
The color relationship that uses the base color and the two colors adjacent to its complement.
|
What is ?
A color or pigment containing varying degrees of white. This manipulation gives us our pastels.
|
What is Additive Color Theory?
The color theory that proposes truer colors found in nature.
|
What is white?
The "color" made when red, blue and green band together in the Additive Light Color Theory.
|
What are Tertiary Colors?
Colors lying between a primary and a secondary on the color wheel.
|
What are Triadic Colors?
Colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel.
|
What is Pigment?
An insoluble coloring material (powder or liquid) which has to be applied to a surface with a binding material. It coats the color of the underlying surface rather than combining with it.
|
What is the eye?
In color additive theory, the primary colors are red, blue, and green because those colors are found in the color photoreceptors of this part of the human anatomy.
|
What is black?
The "color" created when magenta, cyan, and yellow band together at full intensity in the Additive Light Color Theory.
|
What are Neutrals?
The achromatics, beiges, browns, fawns, and so on, which take their color from natural sources such as soil, wood, sand, and stone
|
What are Achromatic Colors?
The ‘colorless colors’—white, black, greys, silver metallics, devoid of hue.
|
What is Tertiary Colors (unlimited)?
These types of colors are discovered when you slowly subtract out a secondary light color from a neighboring primary light color.
|
What is ~1850?
The approximate date James Clark Maxwell proved the Young-Helmholtz Theory to be of value in which the color additive theory was born.
