Color Wheel

The color wheel is made up of different hues (colors) - Primary - Secondary - TerctiaryAdding black to the hues creates shadesAdding white to the hues creates tints

Primary & Secondary Colors

At the heart of color theory are the primary colors: red, blue, and yellow. These are the foundational hues from which all other colors can be created. In pigment form (like paint), you can't create these colors by mixing other colors – they're the starting point for all color mixing.When you combine two primary colors, you get a secondary color:Red + Blue = PurpleBlue + Yellow = GreenYellow + Red = OrangeThese secondary colors are vibrant and form the next level in the color wheel. Understanding how to create these colors is crucial for any artist or designer.

Color Mixing

1. Start with small amounts: It's easier to add more color than to take it away.2. Mix in stages: Gradually build up to your desired color.3. Keep your colors clean: Rinse your brush between mixing different colors.4. Experiment: Don't be afraid to try unexpected color combinations.5. Keep a color journal: Document your mixes for future reference.

Mixing primary colors together make up your completemary colors

Mixing a primary with a secondary color creates a triadic color

Colors are often categorized as "warm" or "cool."Warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) evoke feelings of energy and excitement Cool colors (blues, greens, purples) tend to be calming and relaxing. Understanding color temperature helps in creating mood and atmosphere in artwork or design.Complementary Colors: The Power of OppositesComplementary colors are pairs of colors that sit opposite each other on the color wheel. Red and Green | Blue and Orange | Yellow and Purple When placed side by side, complementary colors create strong contrast and make each other appear more vibrant. This principle is often used in art and design to create eye-catching compositions.

Color harmony is about creating visually pleasing color combinations. Some common harmonious color schemes include:Monochromatic: Using different shades and tints of a single color.Analogous: Using colors that are next to each other on the color wheel.Triadic: Using three colors that are evenly spaced on the color wheel.Split-complementary: Using a color and the two colors adjacent to its complement.Understanding these schemes helps in creating balanced and appealing color palettes.
