Basics About Color A ray of light is the source of all color Without light, color does not exist The longest wavelength is perceived as red and the shortest as violet Pigments are

4 Basics About Color A ray of light is the source of all color Without light, color does not exist The longest wavelength is perceived as red and the shortest as violet Pigments are substances that can be ground into fine power and used for adding color to dyes and paints Color can alter the appearance of form and space, affect our performance abilities, and change our moods

5 RED n Intensity n Increases appetite

7 PINK n Tranquilizes n Saps physical strength n Promotes sense of caring

9 ORANGE n Stimulates appetite! n Enhances creativity

11 GREEN n Associated with healing n Nature

13 YELLOW n Creates joy n Encourages people to talk n Happy

15 BLUE n Suppresses your appetite! n Is relaxing n Too much can make you depressed

17 BROWN n Offers security n Promotes better communication

19 BLACK n Commands respect n Promotes conventional behavior n Too much can make you feel depressed

21 Color Schemes n n n There are certain groups of colors that work together very well they might be referred to as Color Schemes. Make sure when using color schemes to select colors that you like. There are some basic color schemes that have worked well for many years

22 Color Scheme: 1. Monochromatic n A color scheme using one color, and tints, tones and shades of that color (different versions of that color). Blue Blue-violet Blue-green Violet Green Red-violet Yellow-green Red Yellow Red-orange Yellow-orange Orange

23 Color Scheme: 2. Analogous n A color scheme using colors next to each other on the color wheel. Blue Blue-violet Blue-green Violet Green Red-violet Yellow-green Red Yellow Red-orange Yellow-orange Orange Note that even though these are very bright hues of 5 colors next to each other on the color wheel, that they are analogous, even though they are bright.

24 Color Scheme: 3. Complementary n A color scheme using colors opposite each other on the color wheel. Blue Blue-violet Blue-green Violet Green Red-violet Yellow-green Red Yellow Red-orange Yellow-orange Orange Note again that even though the colors are dulled red and green, they are still complementary.

25 Color Scheme: Double Complementary n A Color scheme using two sets of complementary colors. Blue Blue-violet Blue-green Violet Green Red-violet Yellow-green Red Yellow Red-orange Yellow-orange Orange

26 Color Scheme: Split Complementary n A color scheme using one color, and the colors on either side of it s complement. Blue Blue-violet Blue-green Violet Green Red-violet Yellow-green Red Yellow Red-orange Yellow-orange Orange

27 Color Scheme: 4. Triad n A color scheme using three colors equal distance from each other on the color wheel. Blue Blue-violet Blue-green Violet Green Red-violet Yellow-green Red Yellow Red-orange Yellow-orange Orange

28 Color Scheme: 5. Neutral n A color scheme using whites, blacks, grays and beiges.

29 Warm Colors n Colors on the warm side of the spectrum red, yellow, orange. Blue Blue-violet Blue-green Violet Green Red-violet Yellow-green Red Yellow Red-orange Yellow-orange Orange

30 Cool Colors n Colors on the cool side of the spectrum blue, violet, green. Blue Blue-violet Blue-green Violet Green Red-violet Yellow-green Red Yellow Red-orange Yellow-orange Orange

Primary Colors In theory, the Primary Colors are the root of every other hue imaginable. The primary pigments used in the manufacture of paint come from the pure source element of that Hue.

31 Primary Colors In theory, the Primary Colors are the root of every other hue imaginable. The primary pigments used in the manufacture of paint come from the pure source element of that Hue. There are no other pigments blended in to alter the formula. In paint pigments, pure Yellow, pure Red, and pure Blue are the only hues that can't be created by mixing any other colors together.

32 Primary: red, yellow & blue

33 PRIMARY COLORS red yellow blue

34 PRIMARY COLORS

35 Secondary Colors When you combine any two of the Pure Primary Hues, you get three new mixtures called Secondary Colors. Think of the three Secondaries as the Children in the family of colors. Yellow + Red = ORANGE Red + Blue = VIOLET a.k.a PURPLE Blue + = GREEN

36 Secondary: green, Violet, & Orange (made by combining primary colors)

37 SECONDARY COLORS When you mix primary colors together, you get secondary colors.

38 SECONDARY COLORS

39 SECONDARY COLORS

40 SECONDARY COLORS

41 SECONDARY COLORS

42 Tertiary Colors When you mix a Primary and its nearest Secondary on the Basic Color Wheel you create six new mixtures called Tertiary colors. Think of the six Tertiary Colors as the Grandchildren in the family of colors, since their genetic makeup combines a Primary and Secondary color. Yellow + Orange = YELLOW-ORANGE Red + Orange = RED-ORANGE Red + Violet = RED-VIOLET Blue + Violet = BLUE-VIOLET Blue + Green = BLUE-GREEN Yellow + Green = YELLOW-GREEN

44 Mixing Colors n Tints = a mixture of color with white, increases lightness*opposite of tinted windows in cars (color theory is different!) n Shades = a mixture of color with black, reduces lightness n Tone = a mixture of a color with gray or by both tinting and shading n Hue = in painting color theory, a hue refers to a pure color one without tint or shade (no white or black added)

46 1. Primary Colors: Red, Yellow, Blue the 3 originals 2. Secondary Colors: mix two primary colors next to each other ex. red and blue = violet (purple). There are 3 secondary colors. 3. Tertiary Colors: mix a primary and its nearest secondary. There are six tertiary colors.

47 How to Make an Edible Color Wheel Supplies: 13 vanilla wafers 2 plate 2 napkins 1 spoon 1 knife 1 small dollop of frosting for each of the primary colors

48 Instructions: *Give students a dob of frosgng for each of the primary colors *Mix corresponding primary colors to make the 3 secondary colors *Mix a primary with a secondary to get a tergary color *Mix a bit of all of the colors to get black/grey an example of a neutral color *post the mixing key on the board
