144
Q

colors made of any mixture of the three primaries; “brown” or chromatic neutrals. Or, a hue that results from the mixing of a primary hue and an adjacent secondary hue

145
Q

Texture

146
Q

Tiering

A

the portrayal of images on a two dimensional surface in tiers or layers, as a means of indicating distance. The upper tier represents the most distant part of the scene while the lowest tier is equivalent to the foreground

147
Q

Tint

A

a pure color plus white, or made lighter

148
Q

Tone

A

a nonspecific word referring to some changes in a hue. Most often used to mean a graying, or reduction in saturation (chroma)

149
Q

Transparence Illusion

A

an illusion in which opaque colors are made to appear transparent, created by placing two colors as if they overlap and placing an interval/intermediate color between them in the area of overlap

149
Q

Tritanopia

A

a form of color blindness in which sensitivity to blue is reduced

150
Q

Typeface

A

refers to the shape and style of the letters, organized into a set based on the alphabet, numbers and punctuation needed to completely express language. A collection of letter shapes (like “Calibri” or “Times New Roman”) is called a typeface. The typeface refers to the design of the letters

151
Q

Value

A

Relative light and dark, with or without the presence of hue. High-value samples are light, low-value samples are dark

152
Q

Vanishing Point

A

in linear perspective, the imaginary point at which parallel lines appear to converge

Q

Vehicle

A

in color theory, a liquid, paste, viscous, wax, chalk, or other substance into which pigments, dyes or other colorants may be introduced to form a medium such as oil paint, textile dye, or crayon. Also referred to as a base or binder

154
Q

Vignette

A representation in which the center of interest is sharply focused by the image fades out at the perimeter

155
Q

Viscosity

A

referring to the fluidity, specifically the tensile strength, of a fluid substance

156
Q

Visual Acuity

A

Sharpness of vision, the ability of the eye to see detail

157
Q

Visual Texture

A

Sensations taken in visually (by eye) but interpreted in the mind as tactile

158
Q

Visual Vibration

A

The effect of pairing equal valued complementary hues in a partitive setting
