COLOR WHEEL*The color wheel was

developed by Sir Isaac

Newton by taking the

color spectrum and

bending it into a circle.

COLOR WHEEL*The color

wheel is made up of

three different types of colors-

Primary, Secondary,

and Tertiary.

PRIMARY COLORS

*The primary

colors are RED,

YELLOW, and BLUE

YELLOW

BLUE RED

PRIMARY COLORS*They are called primary for a couple

of reasons. 

1.no two colors can be mixed to create a primary color. In other

words, primary colors can only be created through the use of

natural pigments.

2.all other colors found on the color wheel can be created by mixing

primary colors together.

SECONDARY COLORS

GREEN ORANGE

PURPLE

*The secondary colors are ORANGE, GREEN,

and PURPLE. 

SECONDARY COLORS

GREEN ORANGE

PURPLE

*Secondary colors are created by

mixing equal parts of any two primary colors.YELLOW + RED =

ORANGERED + BLUE = VIOLET / PURPLEBLUE + YELLOW = GREEN

TERTIARY COLORS*Tertiary colors are created by mixing equal

parts of a secondary color and a

primary color together

TERTIARY COLORS*YELLOW + ORANGE = YELLOW ORANGE

*RED + ORANGE =

RED ORANGE

*RED + VIOLET / PURPLE = RED PURPLE

*BLUE + VIOLET / PURPLE = BLUE PURPLE

*BLUE + GREEN = BLUE GREEN

*YELLOW + GREEN = YELLOW GREEN

NEUTRAL COLORS

*Neutral Colors are colors that are not associated with a hue (color). Neutral colors, when mixed with a hue change the value or intensity of the color. Neutral colors are BLACK, WHITE, GRAY and some BROWNS.

(Ex. WHITE + RED = PINK

*BLACK + color = Shades of the color

(Ex. Black + RED = Maroon/Burgundy

*GRAY + color = Less Intensity of the color

Color Harmonies*Complementary

harmony

*Monochromatic harmony

*Analogous harmony

Complementary Harmony

It is achieved by a combination of

any opposite colors in the

color wheel. RED and GREEN, for instance, are

complementary colors.

Monochromatic HarmonyIt is otherwise

referred to as one-mode or one hue

harmony. It combines different

intensities or values - lightness and

darkness or brightness and

dullness - of one color only. Examples are blue, light blue,

dark blue.

Analogous Harmony

It means a combination

of two or more neigh

boring colors in the color

chart.

associated with warm things. 

Ex. Red, orange, yellow

Cool colors*Colors that are usually
