E3: COLOR, light, and shade!!! Flashcards
What is the range of the visible spectrum? What color is at the low end? What color is at the high end?
380-750nm…red at HIGH end (INFRAred- LONG waves) and Purple at LOW end (ULTRAviolet-short waves)
What color light do we see when ALL the colors are placed together?
White light
BIGGEST THEME OF ENTIRE LECTURE: What are the 2 factors considered when selecting a LIGHT SOURCE?
- the C-R-I Color Rendering Index and 2.Color Temperature
What is the OPTIMAL C-R-I??? What is this optimal CRI compared to?
100…in reference to Northern Daylight
Morning and Evening: SHORTER wavelengths SCATTER before penetrating the atmosphere, therefore it is rich in _______ and lacks ________
rich in YELLOW/ORANGE(longer) and lacks blue/green (shorter)
What is the ideal time of day for natural day light?
NOON. full spectrum visible
WHOLE POINT OF LECTURE: A light source with a CRI greater than ___ is recommended for shade matching…Wait what does CRI stand for again???
90…Color Rendering Index
Zoomed over-what is the Temperature of the IDEAL Northern Daylight?
6500Kelvin
___________ Light - emit higher concentrations of YELLOW light waves and is not suitable for shade matching.
InCanDescent Light
___________ Light - give off higher concentrations of BLUE waves. Common bulbs (CRI= 50-___) therefore not suitable for shade matching
Fluorescent…50-80 CRI
What color is the fluorescent light again?
BLUE
What are the three aspects of determining color?
Hue, Chroma, Value
What are the two systems for determining color?
1.MUNSELL and 2.C-i-E-Lab
What are the 3 primary subtractive colors?
Red, Yellow, Blue
What are the three secondary subtractive colors?
Green, Purple, Orange
What color occurs when all the PRIMARY subtractive colors are combined?
black
What are the colors obtained from emitting light? (TV and computer)…What are the 3 PRIMARY specific colors? What are the 3 secondary?
Additive…Red Green Blue…secondary: Cyan, yellow, Magenta
Munsell: The shorter the wavelength the closer the hue is to _____, longer the wavelength the closer the hue is to ___. Hues are arranged around the wheel.
violet….red
What are the two words to describe Chroma?
Saturation and Intensity
VALUE: _____ your eyes, dawg! What is the intensity of black in LOW value?
SQUINT your eyes!….LOW VALUE = BLACK. high value = White/light gray
