Let's go back to basics and revisit the color wheel.
The Primary Colors are those colors that can't be produced by mixing 2 other colors: Red, Yellow and Blue.
The Secondary Colors are colors created by mixing 2 of the primary colors:
Green= yellow + blue
Orange= yellow + red
Violet= red + blue
The Tertiary or Intermediate colors are achieved by mixing an adjacent primary and secondary color in equal amounts
Chartreuse= Yellow + Green
Turquoise= Green + Blue
Plum= Violet + Red
Black and White are not considered as colors. In fact, Black is the absence of light. All the wavelengths of light are absorbed, which means there is no reflection of light or color. White, on the other hand, is the total reflection of lights, wavelengths and colors. Gray is produced by mixing black and white.
Color Value
Tint- higher color value. any color plus white
example: red + white= pink; thus pink is a tint of red
Shade- lower color value. any color plus black.
example: red + black= burgundy; thus burgundy is a shade of red.
Color Combinations
These are the schemes on the color wheel
1. Monochromatic- one color with variation of lightness or darkness.
example: pink, red, burgundy
2. Analogous- colors that lie next to each other in the color wheel
example: red, red-orange, orange
3. Triadic- three colors that are of equal distances on the color wheel
example: green, violet, orange
4. Complementary- two colors directly oppsite of each other
examples: red-green, orange-blue, yellow-violet
When complementary colors are placed one on top of the other, it neutralizes. When beside each other, the effect is intensified.
5. Tetradic- are any four colors with a logical relationship on the color wheel, such as double complements. Example is the scheme I chose on my model, using 2 pairs of complementary colors: Blue- Orange and Yellow- Violet.
