SEC20/WK2: Colour Theory and Application.

Discuss Colour Theory according to the way you understand it.

Color is one of the foundations on which design is based. In the hands of a professional, it may be a powerful tool that controls a variety of aspects critical to a captivating visual experience. Color has a strong influence on our thinking.

Color types

Primary colors

Drawing inspiration from the word prime, think about prime numbers: two numbers cannot be calculated by multiplying them together. Likewise, two or more colors cannot be combined to form primary colors. There are three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue.

Consider primary colors as your guiding light in design. When you choose these colors, you can choose which varieties of these colors you want to use for your entire design. Primary colors are used by themselves or in combination to create other colors.

Secondary colors

When two primary colors are combined, secondary colors are created. Orange, purple, and green are all three secondary colors. How they are made:

Red + Yellow = Orange

Blue + Red = Purple

Yellow + Blue = Green

It is helpful to know which primary colors combine to form each secondary color. It should also be noted that secondary colors can only be created with the pure form of primary colors.

Tertiary Colors

These colors are created when a primary color is combined with a secondary color. This expands the scope of any design you create because you now have more colors at your disposal.

It should be noted that not all primary and secondary colors can combine to form a tertiary color. For example, red and green colors do not create any kind of aesthetic color. The same goes for blue and orange. The resulting color of these two combinations creates an odd tone of unworkable brown.

So, what's the secret to creating tertiary colors? The answer is simple. When a primary color is mixed with a secondary color next to it on the color wheel, a tertiary color is formed.

Here are the tertiary colors with their components:

Red + violet = red-purple (magenta)

Red + Orange = Red-Orange (Vermillion)

Blue + Violet = Blue-violet

Blue + Green = Blue-Green (Teal)

Yellow + Orange = Yellow-Orange (Amber)

Yellow + green = yellow-green (chartreuse)

Choose "Two" from the color scheme discussed, briefly talk about it and demonstrate with two examples each showing how to combine colors using that scheme.

Complementary colors:

This particular color scheme uses two shades from opposite sides of the color wheel. It produces a bold and eye-catching color combination. Complementary color combinations include orange and blue, yellow and purple, green and magenta, and red and green.
