2 Lesson Objectives l Define terminology related to color theory l Identify types of color schemes l Develop a color scheme l Identify the RGB values for drawing objects l Design a color wheel using RGB values l Establish the CYMK values for drawing objects Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 2

4 Color Terminology l Color: Color results when light is reflected off of an object. As the light hits an object, some of the light wave is absorbed into the object. A portion of the light wave is reflected back to your eyes. l The color that is reflected is determined by the LENGTH of the light wave that is reflected from the object.

5 Color Terminology l Primary colors: l Red, Yellow, and Blue l These are considered the basic colors. l All other colors can be created by using a mixture of any of these three colors. RED YELLOW BLUE Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 5

6 Color Terminology l Tints l Created by adding white to a color Blue + White = Blue Tint l Shades l Created by adding black to a color Blue + Black = Blue Shade Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 6

7 Color Terminology l Secondary colors: l,, and Red + Yellow = l Created by mixing equal amounts of two primary colors Red + Blue = Blue + Yellow = Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 7

8 Color Terminology Primary + Secondary = Tertiary l Tertiary colors: l These colors can be created by mixing a primary color with an adjacent secondary color l OR they can be made by mixing unequal amounts of two primary colors. Yellow Red Red Blue + = + = + = + = Yellow Red- Red- Blue- Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 8

10 Color Terminology l Color Wheel: l If we arrange the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors in a circle, adjacent to the colors according to their mixture combinations, we get a color wheel. Yellow- Yellow- Yellow Red- Blue- Red Blue Blue- Red- Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 10

11 Color Schemes l Complementary colors: l Any two colors that are exactly opposite on the color wheel Yellow- Yellow- Yellow Blue- Blue Blue- Red Red- Red- Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 11

12 Color Schemes l Split-complement colors: l Has three colors Yellow- Blue- Blue l Pick a color Yellow Blue- l Find the two adjacent colors of its complementary color Yellow- Red Red- Red- Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 12

13 Color Schemes l Analogous colors: l Any three colors that are side by side on the color wheel Yellow- Yellow Blue- Blue Blue- Yellow- Red Red- Red- Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 13

14 Color Schemes l Harmonious Pairs: l Has four colors that are split-complements of each other Yellow- Yellow Blue- Blue Blue- l Find a complementary pair Yellow- l Locate the two adjacent colors for the original pair Red- Red Red- Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 14

15 Color Schemes l Triad colors: l 3 colors that are equally distant from each other on the color wheel Yellow- Blue- Blue l Most basic triad scheme is the 3 primary colors Yellow Blue- l If you lay an equilateral triangle (triangle with all three sides the same length) in the middle of the color wheel, the tips of the triangle will point to three colors that make up a triadic scheme. Yellow- Red- Red Red- Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 15

16 Color Schemes l Tetrad colors: l Have four colors that are equally distant from each other on the color wheel Yellow- Yellow Blue- Blue Blue- l If you lay a square in the middle of the color wheel, the tips of it will point to the four colors that make up a tetrad scheme. Yellow- Red- Red Red- Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 16

17 Color Scheme Example l Tetrad Pairs l Place a square in the middle of the color wheel. l Your four colors are located at the corners of the square. l Choose two colors for the majority of your objects and let the other two colors be accents. Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 17

18 Color Scheme Example l Analogous Scheme l Choose any 3 colors that are side by side on the color wheel. l Any neutral color may be brought in as an accent. Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 18

19 Assignment #1 l Create a color scheme: l Obtain a color wheel. l Using the given printouts and colored pencils (don t use markers), color in the designs to represent various color schemes. l Choose your own variations of color that represent the given schemes. l Color in all objects within the large, bold rectangle. l You may color in the background with a scheme color, or you may leave it white.

21 Electronic Color l Computer Monitors: l Use light in 3 colors to create images on the screen l Monitors use RED, GREEN, and BLUE color l This is called RGB l Text and object color are determined by its RGB values Red Blue Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 21

23 Electronic Color l Setting RGB values: l A color is defined by three values l These values must be within the number range l Blue is created by a Blue value of 255; Red and values are 0 l Equal values of Red and create Yellow Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 23

25 Assignment #2 l Create a color wheel: l Create drawing objects and fill them with color by changing the RGB values. l Move and rotate the objects to create a color wheel. l There should be 4 color variations between each primary and secondary color.

27 Pigment Color l Color Printers: l Use mixtures of 4 colors l Printers use CYAN, MAGENTA, YELLOW, and BLACK color l This is called CMYK Magenta Cyan Yellow Black Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 27

28 Pigment Color l Color Printers: l Combinations of CMYK will create Blue, Red, or l The monitor screen displays color in RGB values; the printer will print that color in CMYK values. l Sometimes, the translation causes the color on a printout to be different than that on the screen Magenta Magenta Yellow + Cyan = Blue + = Yellow Red + = Cyan Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 28

30 Pigment Color l Setting CMYK values: l A color is defined by four values l These values must be within the number range l You can achieve the same color selection as RGB but using CMYK values instead l The color Blue l in RGB values is 0, 0, 255 l In CMYK values is 99, 67, 0, 20 Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 30

31 Assignment #3 l Create a paint strip: l Using a software program that allows CMYK values, recreate the color scheme of a paint chip sample. l Print the document, then record the RGB values and CMYK values for each color. l Print the document in color. l Staple the paint chip sample to the document.

At the core of this relationship there are the three primary pigment colours RED, YELLOW and BLUE, which cannot be mixed from other colour elements.

At the core of this relationship there are the three primary pigment colours RED, YELLOW and BLUE, which cannot be mixed from other colour elements. The Colour Wheel The colour wheel is designed so that virtually any colours you pick from it will look good together. Over the years, many variations of the basic design have been made, but the most common
