25
The true colors of the spectrum.
Hue
26
Colors higher in value (lighter), lower in saturation, and cooler in hue.
Receding colors
27
Refers to a harmony using 2 hues that are directly opposite each other.
Complementary
28
Displays a circular color map. Next to the map are 3 boxes one for each hue, saturation and value. The user first selects a color from the map, then instructs each of the boxes to modify that selection
HSV mode
29
Combination of 3 hues that lie equidistant from one another.
Triad
30
The sensation of annoyance or even pain induced by overly bright sources.
Discomfort glare
31
Colors are created when mixing 1 secondary and 1 primary color.
Tertiary colors
32
This wheel gives us 3 basic primaries – yellow, magenta, cyan – that upon mixing, result in purer hues. This arrangement is the standard employed in color printing and photography.
Process wheel
33
Gray, white, and black colors.
Achromatic
34
Lightness and darkness of a color.
Value
35
Based on the viewer’s reaction to colors when they are placed next to each other.
Partitive color
36
Series of progressive intervals that are so close that individual steps cannot be distinguished. Seamless transition.
Gradient
37
Combination of unequal proportions of all the primaries.
Broken hue
38
Color harmony with only one hue with varying value and intensity.
Monochromatic
39
Best describes the color appearance of the light source and the light emitted from it.
Color temperature
40
Imitates the results of mixing process colors. This display mode facilitates working on-screen for print production. All 100% = black. 0% = white.
CMYK mode
41
Addition of gray to a hue.
Tone
42
Standardized color reproduction system. Diff. manufacturers can all refer to this system to make sure colors match without direct contact with one another.
Pantone color matching system
43
Refers to the visual agreement of all parts of a work. Also called color chords, these are time-tested combinations that work well together.
Color harmonies
44
Based on the additive color system and provides info concerning light rays and transparent color. Since these are combinations of colored light, when all the primaries, red blue green, are combined, white results.
Light wheel
45
Utilizes 1 hue and 2 hues that lie on either side of its direct complement, forming a Y.
Split complementary
46
Colors lower in value (darker), more highly saturated, and warmer in hue.
Advancing colors
47
The screen displays a basic assortment of hues, range of groups, black and white in a box/circle called color palette.
Color monitor
48
Best known for his book, Art of Color, and condensed version of The Elements of Color.
Johannes Itten
49
The life’s work of this American color theorist led to his system being adopted by the United States Bureau of Standards as the acceptable language of color.
Albert Munsell
50
A technique that softly blends hues to create a hazy effect.
Sfumato
51
He was one of the first modern thinkers to investigate and record the function of the eye and its interpretation of color, rather than the properties of light.
Johann Wolfgang von goethe
52
He was not able to mix pigments of 2 or 3 hues to obtain white because his theory was based on the mixing of light.
Sir isaac newton
53
Itten developed this color arrangement for his Bauhaus preliminary course, 1919.
Color star
54
The teaching diagram Josef Albers used was this. It had red, yellow, blue at its points. Orange, violet, and green at the midpoints, with red-gray, yellow-gray, and blue-gray in between.
Color triangle
55
In his book, he presented red, yellow, blue as the primary hues, which he termed “primitives.”
Moses Harris
56
His experiments were concerned with the optical mixing that occurs in pointillism.
Ogden rood
57
Aristotle wrote this book and this was the first known book about color.
De coloribus
58
Leonardo concluded that certain responses took place when colors are placed next to each other.
Simultaneous contrast
59
Moses Harris wrote this book in 1766.
The Natural systems of color
60
He verified that all hues could be obtained from mixtures of primaries – red, yellow, and blue.
Michel eugene chevreul
61
He discovered that as a ray of white light passes and is bent or refracted through a prism, it is broken into an array of colors, or spectral hues – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
Sir isaac newton
62
He places yellow at the top of his diagram because it was the brightest of the hues and the closest visually to light.
Johannes Itten
63
He was a French chemist hired by the famous French tapestry-weaving studio, Gobelins, to be its dye master.
Michel eugene chevreul
64
His wheel was divided into 18 equal hue divisions and each division was then graded by value, light to dark.
Moses Harris
65
Albert Munsell published this book in 1905.
Color Notation
66
He assigned white, yellow, green, blue, red and black as simple or primary colors.
Leonardo da vinci
67
Teacher at Bauhaus school. He became absorbed with how colors react and interact.
Josef albers
68
He explored every aspect of color and its reactions, including the role of complementary colors in creating shadows, simultaneous contrast, successive contrast and proportional color use.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
69
An optical reaction that occurs after we stare intensely at a hue and then shift our eyes to a white surface and see a second hue.
After-imaging
70
Albert Munsell further systemized the color wheel into a 3D form and used this diagram.
Color tree
71
His greatest contribution was his recording of the reactions that colors have when placed side by side or in relationship to each other. It led to the color theory laws of simultaneous contrast, successive contrast, and optical mixing.
Michel eugene chevreul
72
Sir Isaac Newton wrote this book in 1704.
Optiks
73
His work outlines the theory that all colors (yellow, red, purple, green, blue) are derived from mixtures of black and white.
Aristotle
74
Philip Otto Runge wrote this book in 1810 and used a spherical diagram to arrange 12 hues giving the first 3D color model.

75
A complementary hue is the hue that occupies the position directly opposite on a color wheel.
Albert Munsell
76
Michel Eugene Chevreul wrote this book.
The principle of harmony and contrast of colors
77
An English physicist who was interested purely in the physics of colors.
Sir isaac newton
78
He proposed that colors differed from one another as a result of 3 variables – purity/saturation, luminosity/value, and hue.
Ogden rood
79
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published this book in 1810.
Theory of colors
80
He developed a partitive color system based on 5 primary hues or principal colors: yellow, red, green, blue, violet.
Albert munsell
81
Leonardo da Vinci wrote this book.
Treatise on Painting
