academic
Art that conforms to established traditions and approved conventions as practiced in formal art schools. Academic art stresses standards, set procedures, and rules
achromatic
relating to color perceived only in terms of neutral grays from light to dark; without hue
additive color
color created by superimposing light rays. Adding together (or superimposing) the three primary colors of light - red, blue, and green - will produce white. The secondaries are cyan, yellow, and magenta
analogous colors
colors that are closely related in hue. They are usually adjacent to each other on the color wheel
chroma
The purity of a hue, or its freedom from white, black, or gray (and wavelengths of other color). 2. The intensity of a hue. 3. Computer programs often refer to chroma as SATURATION
chromatic
pertaining to the presence of color
chromatic value
the relative degree of lightness or darkness demonstrated by a given color
color
the visual response to different wavelengths of sunlight identified as red, green, blue, and so on; having the physical properties of hue, intensity, and value
color tetrad
four colors, equally spaced on the color wheel, containing a primary and its complements and a complementary pair of intermediates. This has also come to mean any organization of color on the wheel forming a rectangle that could induce a double split-complement
color tried
Three colors, usually equally spaced on the color wheel, forming an equilateral triangle. The twelve-step color wheel is made up of a primary triad, a secondary triad, and two intermediate triads
complementary colors
Two colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel. A primary color is complementary to a secondary color, which is a mixture of the two remaining primaries.
high-key color
Any color that has a value level of middle gray or lighter
hue
the generic name of a color (red, blue, green, etc.); also designates a color's position in the spectrum or on the color wheel. Hue is determined by the specific wavelength of the color in a ray of light
Intensity
The saturation, strength, or purity of a hue. A vivid color is of high intensity; a dull color is of low intensity.
intermediate color
a color produced by a mixture of a primary color and a secondary color
intermediate triad
a group of three intermediate colors that are equally spaced on the color wheel and form an equilateral triangle; two groups of intermediate triads are found on the color wheel: red-orange/yellow-green/blue-violet and red-violet/blue-green/yellow-orange
local (objective) color
The color as seen in the objective world (green grass, blue sky, red barn, etc.)
low-key color
any color that has a value level of middle gray or darker
monochromatic
having only one hue; may include the complete range of value (of one hue) from white to black
neutralized (color), neutralization (of color)
color that has been grayed or reduced in intensity by being mixed with any of the neutrals or with a complementary color (so that the mixture contains all three primaries, in equal or unequal amounts).
neutrals
the inclusion of all color wavelengths will produce white, and the absence of any wavelengths will be perceived as black. With neutrals, no single color is noticed - only a sense of light and dark or the range from white through gray to black. 2. A color altered by the addition of its complement so that the original sensation of hue is lost or grayed
patina
A natural film, usually greenish, that results from the oxidation of bronze or other metallic material. 2. Colored pigments and/or chemicals applied toa sculptural surface
pigment
A color substance that gives its color property to another material by being mixed with it or covering it. Pigments, usually insoluble, are added to liquid vehicles to produce paint and and ink. They are different from dyes, which are dissolved in liquids and give their coloring effects by staining or being absorbed by a material
primary color
a preliminary hue that cannot be broken down or reduced into components colors. Primary colors are the basic hues of any color system that in theory may be used to mix all other colors.
primary triad
the three primary colors on the color wheel (red, yellow, and blue), which are equally spaced and form an equilateral triangle
secondary color
a color produced by a mixture of two primary colors
secondary triad
The three secondary colors on the color wheel (orange, green, and violet), which are equally spaced and form an equilateral triangle.
shade (of color)
a color produced by mixing black with hue, which lowers the value level and decreases the quantity of light reflected
simultaneous contrast
when two different colors come into direct contact, the contrast intensifies the difference between them
spectrum
the band of individual colors that results when a beam of white light is broken into its component wavelengths, identifiable as hues
split-complement(s)
a color and the two colors on either side of its complement
subjective color
1. That which is derived from the mind, instead of physical reality, and reflects a personal bias, emotion, or interpretation. 2. A subjective color tends to be inventive or creative
subtractive color
The sensation of color that is produced when wavelengths of light are reflected back to the viewer after all other wavelengths have been subtracted and/or absorbed
tertiary color
color resulting from the mixture of all three primaries, two secondary colors, or complementary intermediates. Tertiary colors are characterized by the neutralization of intensity and hue. A great variety of tertiary colors, created by mixing differing amounts of the parent colors, are found on the inner rings of the color wheel, which lead to complete neutralization.
tint (of color)
a color produced by mixing white with a hue, which raises the value level and increases the quantity of light reflected
Tonality, tone (color)
1. A generic term for the quality of a color, often indicating a slight modification in hue, value, or intensity - for example, yellow with a greenish tone. 2. The dominating hue, value, or intensity; for example, artwork containing mostly red and red-orange will have an overall tonality of red (the dominant hue), and areas of color might have a dark tonality (indicating the dominant value) or a muted tonality (indicating the dominant intensity level.)
value (color)
1. The relative degree of lightness or darkness. 2. The characteristic of color determined by its lightness or darkness or the quantity of light reflected by the color
value pattern
The arrangement or organization of value that control compositional movement and create a unifying effect throughout a work of art
