Colour Review

 

      1.      The colors that are seen when sunlight is split by a prism are sometimes called the spectral colors. These are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo,

            and violet.

2.      All colors in the color spectrum may be created by the use of the three Primary colors. The Primary colors, red, blue and yellow are colors that are not created from any other combination of colors.

3.      The Primary colors, red, blue, and yellow may be mixed in specific combinations to create the Secondary colors, green, orange, and purple.

4.      Primary and Secondary Colors are also called Complimentary colors and are located on opposite sides from each other on the color wheel. They are called complimentary because when two compliments are placed next to each other they enrich each other.

5.      Adding white to a color creates tints. Adding black to a color creates shades. Adding grey to a color creates tones.

6.      When mixing colors always add the darker color to the lighter color.
