Review for Exam 2 Color, Rhythm, Line, Shape & FormCOLORKnow the Definitions of:1. Hue : the colors of the spectrum or color wheel; a property of color defined by distinctions withinthe visual spectrum or color wheel. "Red," "blue," "yellow," and "green" are examples of hue names; the name of any color as found it its pure state in the spectrum or rainbow; the qualitythat separates one color from another; a hue is known as pure color, without a tint or a shade; one hue can produce an unlimited number of colors2. Value : TONE or VALUE is the degree of lightness or darkness of a hue; value is how we distinguish and describe colors from light to dark ; how we articulate and distinguish light colors from dark; pale colors are considered to be high in value, because white lightens a color; darks are consideredlow in value; value is measured on a grey scale; varying values give a more dynamic appearance; objects of the same value create as static (standstill, equal, no emphasis) design with all objects equal in visual importantLow value High value3. Intensity : (or chroma as it is called by Munsell); the relative saturation of hue perceived in color; intensity or chroma of color is the brightness or dullness of a color; as the color gets more vivid (brighter), the chroma increases; intensity can be known as the relative purity of a color; chroma is determined by the amount of a pigment; a color’s degree of departure from the neutral of the same value; hues at 100% intensity are fully saturate; intensity is changed by mixing a color with its complement4. Tone : TONE or VALUE is the degree of lightness or darkness of a hue; value is how we distinguish and describe colors from light to dark ; how we articulate and distinguish light colors from dark; pale colors are considered to be high in value, because white lightens a color; darks are consideredlow in value; value is measured on a grey scale; adding grey to a color creates a tone5. Shade : shades are made by adding black to a hue; adding black DECREASES THE VALUESHADES OF RED TINTS OF RED6. Tint : tints are made by adding white to a hue; adding white INCREASES THE VALUE7. Neutral : White, black, and grey are considered to be neutral8. Monochromatic : monochromatic color schemes rest on one hue; evokes a lot of sameness, could be boring, but also very sophisticated by using different values, intensities, and shades; black and white are two colors which are usually included in a monochromatic color scheme9. Analogous : a color scheme that combines several hues located next to each other on the color wheel; adjacent hues on the color wheel; analogous colors usually match well and are serene and comfortable color stories; can often find analogous color stories in nature, they are naturally very harmonious; to be effective relative to our field, you usually want one color to dominate, another color to support, and your third color to be your accent 10. Complementary : a color scheme incorporating opposite hues on the color wheel; complementary colors accentuate each other in juxtaposition and neutralize each other in mixture; can be very jarring, vibrant, definitely not boring, but may not always be harmonious; 11. Split Complementary : a split complementary color scheme uses one hue and the two on either sideof its complement; your base color is your point (your other two are adjacent to the complement); less jarring than complementary 12. Tetradic (Rectangle) : a tetrad or a double split-complement refers to four colors that are equidistant on the color wheel; uses four colors arranged in two complementary pairs; very rich color scheme with many variations13. Optical Mixing (Mixing) : Color mixture created by the eye as small bits of color are perceived to blend and form a mixture14. Color Constancy : the color remains and appears the same (and that is when the viewer views the color constancy in various lights)Primary colors of pigment vs. lightHow to achieve primary, secondary, tertiary colors: - Red, green, and blue are the three primary colors of light; when they are combined, they produce white- Secondary colors are orange, green, and violet. They are made by mixing two primary colors from either side of the color wheel- The six tertiary colors are made by mixing a primary and an adjacent secondary color together. Red/orange, yellow/orange, yellow/green, blue/green, blue/violet, red/violet MATCHING- Same Color, Variety of Value A. Tint- Equal Parts of Complementary Colors B. Value- Add White C. Neutral- Darkness D. MonochromaticTRUE/FALSE1. The value is the lightness or darkness of a color.2. A complement harmony would utilize side-by-side colors on a color wheel.3. The hue of a color is made by adding grey.PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOR- Simultaneous Contrast: the effect created by two complementary colors seen in juxtaposition; each color seems more intense in this context; a color looks different when placed in proximity to another color- Visual Acuity: where monochromatic backgrounds make it easier to pick out or see the colors; it’sclearer and more vibrant on the one hue background than the mixed (on the red than the mix of orange and red that makes the brown); the background is impacting the circles; the red is one hue,the brown is a mixture of orange and red- Successive Contrast: Colors are modified based on the order in which they are seenIf you stare at the top two circles for 30 seconds and then look down below, it’ll make the two identicalcolors of yellow appear to be different- Contrast and Adaptationo Contrast: the difference in visual properties distinguishable from other objects and the background; can be obtained due to light, moderate, or dark valueso Color Adaptation: when the eye automatically inserts a missing color emphasize similarities (that missing color makes sense) TRUE/FALSE1. Color after-images are negative.2. Monochromatic background makes it more difficult to pick out colors.3. Simultaneous contrast means that actual differences in touching colors seem exaggerated.- Color Forecasting- Metamerism- Geometric Metamerism- Optical MixingKnow different color theories:- Munsell Color Order System: Munsell created the color order system, which is a true standardization system. He introduced a color vocabulary that describes the various aspects of color and how they interact. The Munsell color solid does not take the shape of a perfect sphere because not all hue families
