Q

subtractive color theory

A

the phenomenon in which the frequencies of light hit an object and are absorbed. The colors we see are the light waves that were not absorbed

19
Q

direct complement

A

pairs exactly opposite

20
Q

split complement

A

basic hue and the two colors on each side of its direct complement

21
Q

triadic complement

A

three colors that are equidistant on the color wheel

22
Q

double complement

A

two pairs of direct complements that are adjacent or next to each other

23
Q

tetrad complements

A

four colors that are equidistant

24
Q

alternate complements

A

triad schemes with a direct complement of one of the hues

25
Q

mussel theory

A

3D color wheel, based off the hue, value and chroma or intensity

26
Q

hue

A

huge families are given a numerical notation, the pure color

27
Q

value

A

the lightness or darkness of the hue

28
Q

natural saturation point

A

the amount of naturally occurring white or black value in a pure hue

29
Q

chroma or intensity

A

the amount of pure chroma in a given hue

30
Q

ostwald theory

A

plotted as triangular pages with hues not varied by chroma but by amount of black and white (measured in values)

31
Q

color harmony definition

A

wherever colors are combined in a manner pleasing to the eye and to the senses

32
Q

color harmony considerations (5)

A
  1. hue identity
  2. undertones
  3. color samples
  4. shibusa
  5. bold or high-contrast colors
33
Q

undertones

A

the colors that are added to a base hue

34
Q

shibusa

A

Japanese concept, theory of harmonizing color so that combined hues are appealing for a long period of time, colors are close in value and intensity with a little sharp accent, patterns and textures are used to keep interest, light colors above, medium colors around and dark colors underfoot

35
Q

neutralized colors (4)

A
  1. shades - mixing black with a hue
  2. tints - adding white to a hue
  3. tones - neutralized with a complement or contrasting color (or sometimes gray)
  4. pastels - lightened tones
36
Q

law of chromatic distribution

A

“The more neutralized colors of the scheme are found in the larger areas and the smaller the area, the brighter or more intense the chroma becomes”

37
Q

naturals (4)

A
  1. whites and off-whites: give interiors increased oval space
  2. grays: ideal background color against which to show other colors, warm can be welcoming and comforting, cool can be cold and uninviting
  3. blacks and off-blacks: give deep dark value to the set-off neutrals, adds richness
  4. browns: bring warm qualities to an interior, flexibility to change color schemes
38
Q

achromatic color schemes

A

has no colors on the color wheel, different shades of black, white, gray

39
Q

color influencing factors (4)

A
  1. light
  2. texture and material
  3. color placement
  4. value distribution and contrast
40
Q

juxtaposition

A

placement of colors next to each other

41
Q

high-key interiors

A

high values (light hues), produce an airy, carefree, soothing, romantic or ethereal feeling

42
Q

low-key interiors

A

low or dark values, produce a stable,, anchored, ponderous or historical effect

43
Q

midtones

A

colors at their normal values, give a sense of normality and calm, safe, stable and easy to live with

44
Q

value distribution based on nature

A

the placing of values in the general pattern seen in nature

45
Q

color-group moods (4)

A
  1. light value and bright color groups: produce feelings of spontaneity and happiness
  2. light and dull or neutralized colors: produce feelings of calm and relaxation
  3. dark and dull or neutralized colors: are serious and profound
  4. dark values and bright chroma (jewel tones): suggest richness and strength
46
Q

afterimage simultaneous contrast

A

when you focus on an intense color and then on a neutral area and the complementary color appears in the same pattern as a ghostly afterimage, can cause eye-focusing problems, irritation and headaches
