The Elements of Design: Color Flashcards
What are the layout structures?
The layout structures are due to the three-dimensional, physical manipulation of the finished materials that are used in the five Ps.
What are the surface structures?
The surface structures are the contributions that are made by the materials themselves of the five Ps including concrete, wood, fabric, and skin.
What is the light and shadow structure?
The light and shadow structure is contributed by the light source of the environment.
What is color?
Color is frequently rated as the most important aesthetic criterion for preference of many aesthetic forms.
What do the additive color systems represent?
The additive color systems represent the resulting color when two or more colors of light are mixed together.
What do the subtractive color systems represent?
The subtractive color systems represent the resulting colors when two or more pigments or inks are used.
What do the color wheels provide?
The color wheels provide a systematic organization of color in a circular pattern.
Is the hue the first component of a color?
Yes. The hue is the first component of a color.
Is the second component of a color its value?

Tints are the light values that result from adding white.
What are tones?
Tones are medium value colors that are created by adding gray.
What are shades?

What are the elements of design?
The elements of design are the basic perceivable units of a form.
What is the intensity?
The intensity is the purity, brightness, and saturation of a color.
What do warm colors include?
Warm colors include the range of colors from red-violet through red, red-orange, orange, yellow-orange, and yellow.

How is the undertone created?
The undertone is created by mixing in small amounts of warm and cool pigments.
What are color relationships or schemes?
Color relationships or schemes are established patterns of color combinations based on the position of the color wheel and the value intensity levels.
What does a monochromatic color scheme consist of?
A monochromatic color scheme consists of multiple tints, tones, and shades of a signee hue.
