Term: Analogous Hues

Answer 7

Hues adjacent to each other on the colour wheel. Analogous hues tend to be harmonious and restful when used together in a design. (i.e. orange, red-orange, yellow-orange and yellow).

Term: Cool Hues

Answer 10

They seem to recede into the picture surface: blue, green and violet.

Question 11

Term: Split Complementry

Answer 11

Is a hue plus a hue next to its compliment (i.e. red-violet or blue-violet is the split complimentary to yellow).

Question 12

Term: Monochromatic Hues

Answer 12

Variations of a single colour by value and intensity alone.

Question 13

Term: Intensity

Answer 13

The brightness or dullness of a colour or hue. Often it is called its chrome. A hue of high intensity is a warm hue and is said to advance from the page. A hue of low intensity is a cool hue and recedes into the page.

Question 19

Additive (RGB) vs Subtractive Color (CMYK)

Answer 19

Additive: Screen based- All digital screens utilize additive color principles with primaries of red, green and blue (RGB)
Subtractive: Print based- CMYK color mode is when each pixel is assigned a percentage value for each process ink.

Question 20

RGB transmission signals

Answer 20

RGB lights are transmitted through two signals, indicating
1) “chrominance or chromaticity (a combination of dominant wave lengths, or a hue, and purity, or saturation) and
2) luminance (the light mixture equivalent of value in pigments).

Question 21

CIE Chromaticity

Answer 21

Red , blue and green are used for color on computers because they represent the most wide range of color mixing options. When you see a color on your monitor, you are actually seeing an optical mixture of these 3 primaries. The CIE diagram illustrates the parameters of modern computer graphic color capabilities

Question 22

RGB Color Mode

Answer 22

Assigns an intensity value to each pixel. In 8 bits per channel images, the intensity values range from 0 (black) to 255 (white) for each of the RGB (red, green, blue) components in a color image.
For example, a bright red color has an R value of 246, a G value of 20, and a B value of 50.
When the values of all three components are equal, the result is a shade of neutral gray.
When the values of all components are 255, the result is pure white; when the values are 0, pure black

Question 23

CMYK Color mode

Answer 23

In the CMYK mode, each pixel is assigned a percentage value for each of the process inks. The lightest (highlight) colors are assigned small percentages of process ink colors; the darker (shadow) colors higher percentages. For example, a bright red might contain 2% cyan, 93% magenta, 90% yellow, and 0% black. In CMYK images, pure white is generated when all four components have values of 0%

Question 24

Term: Panton

Answer 24

The numerical values assigned to colors and organized in a system called Pantone Color System

Question 25

Summarize RGB, CMYK, HSB

Answer 25

RGB –[Additive color theory] which is utilized for web and monitor based projects
CMYK –[Subtractive color theory] which is utilized for printing
HSB –[Additive color theory] which stands for hue, saturation and brightness.
