Color Theory

Color Theory

1. Define hue: is the best options to refer to the pure spectrum of colors.
2. Define value: is the lightness and or darkness of a given color.

   

   I used blue to represent the hue from dark to light.

   1. ​Example: Choose your favorite color. Demonstrate VALUE using 7+ photos (light to dark of your chosen hue). Canvas specs above
3. Define saturation: its the intensity, value, or colorfulness of a color
4. How many colors are available on our computers?
5. Define secondary color: the color produced from the blending of two primary colors
6. Define tertiary color: a color that is mixed by two secondary colors
7. Define complementary colors: colors that are directly across of each other in the color wheel.

   

   This this the color range we see with our eyes.

   

   This is the color range  of Photoshop.

   

   A color gamut is a range of colors that is available to the computer and or printer.
