Color Theory Introduction
1. Color is a visual sensation
2. Depends on light rays/waves reflected
Spectrum – original scientific spectrum –

Colors of the spectrum
Visible
(Roy G Biv) – wave lengths
1. Red
2. Orange
3. Yellow
4. Green
5. Blue
6. Indigo
7. Violet
Infrared
longest waves - heat
Ultraviolet
shortest waves – invisible
Absorption vs. Reflection
red apple would reflect wavelength of only red and absorbs all other wavelengths
Measurements
Hue
name of the color
Measurements
Value
high value is lighter color – relative lightness or darkness
Measurements
Intensity
chroma – relative strength of the color, how strong, powerful, or intense –
OR – amount of dullness/grayness
Pigment Theory
Prang Theory – imperfect
Pigment
most basic coloring matter – Imperfect from manufacturer
- Have dust in them
Classes of Hues
Primary
3 hues can be combined to make all other hues,
NOT be produced from secondary/intermediates

Red, Yellow, Blue
Classes of Hues
Secondary
equal mixtures of 2 primary hues, Prang combined Indigo + Violet = Purple
Orange, Green, Purple
Classes of Hues
Intermediate
mixtures of primary and its adjacent secondary –
Primary always named first & hyphenated
1. R-P, R-O, Y-O, Y-G, B-G, B-P
Classes of Hues
Tertiary
all 3 primary colors to make tertiary hue
Unequal mixes of opposite complimentary hues
1. Browns = R+Y+B – more R&Y than Blue – Red predominates (DARK) – Yellow predominates (LIGHT)
2. Grays = R+Y+B – more Blue than R&Y -
