Color = visual response of the eye to various reflected wavelengths and pigmentsDifferent sources of light can change how color looks (sunlight, fluorescent, incandescent, etc.)Often times the lighter colors look closer, and the darker look farther awayColor gives life and personality to a designColor is as important to an arrangement as the structural designThere are NO ugly colors – improper use or placement of color can lead to a displeasing visual effecta. Color wheel12 colors/hues1º = Primary (red, yellow, blue)2º = Secondary3º = Tertiary/IntermadiateUsed to study colors and their relationshipsb. Primary colors – Primary colors are the building block for the entire pigment systemRed – advancing, exciting, warmYellow – brilliant, cheerfulBlue – receding, cool, quiet*An arrangement with all three of these colors is said to have a triadic schemeMany times purple is substituted for purple because there are not many blue flowersc. Secondary colors - primary color + primary colorBlue + Yellow = GreenRed + Blue = Purple/VioletRed + Yellow = Orange✪ Count green as a color in a scheme when purple and orange are present because all of these colors are opposite one another on the color wheeld. Tertiary colors - primary color + secondary colore. Neutral colors/Earth tonesNot seen on the color wheelBlack, grey, whiteTans, brownsf. Color value - the lightness or darkness of a colorLecture 8Outline of Current LectureI. Elements of DesignII. Colora. Color wheelb. Primary colorsc. Secondary colorsd. Tertiary colorse.
