Q

Chromatic Gray

A

24
Q

Inherent Light

A

Inherent light is an inner glow that a color seems to have in relation to other colors.

25
Q

Monochromatic Color Schemes

A

Monochromatic color schemes are limited to one hue and can have a broad range of value or saturation levels.

26
Q

Analogous Hues

A

Analogous hues lie adjacent to each other on the color spectrum and should go beyond one color, but include only colors that share a hue.

27
Q

Color Combinations

A

Color combinations can be narrow, moderate, or broad in a hue range, value range, and/or range of saturation.

28
Q

Color Mixing

A

Color mixing shows a color shift from left to right.

29
Q

Who is Albert H. Muncell?

A

Albert H. Muncell is an American color theorist painter who published a book called “A Color Notation” in 1905;

5B 5/8; hue, or temperature, value, saturation

30
Q

What can colors be keyed in?

A

Colors can be keyed in hue, value, or saturation.

31
Q

Low Key

A

Low key is when the value of colors are predominantly dark.

32
Q

High Key

A

High key is when the value of colors are predominantly bright.

33
Q

What is naturalism?

A

Naturalism is based upon verisimilitude that compels the artist to temper color tonalities to the overall atmosphere of the scene depicted;
most colors are muted or chromatic grays.

34
Q

Afterimage

A

An afterimage is an optical effect in which an additional color seems to appear at the edge of an observed color.

35
Q

Simultaneous Contrast

A

Simultaneous contrast is the optical effect that two neighboring colors have upon each other as their afterimages interact along a shared border.

36
Q

Optical Mixing

A

Optical mixing occurs when small fragments are fused by the eye to appear as seamless tonal transitions.

Tapestries, Mosaics

37
Q

Who is Josef Albers?

A

Josef Albers was the most influential German color educator of the second half of the 20th century who published a limited-edition book of silkscreened color studies called “Interaction of Color” in 1963;

38
Q

What happened in the 19th century throughout Europe?

A

In the 19th century French Impressionists throughout Europe began to work in a more direct and improvisational manner.

39
Q

Median Transparency

A

Median transparency is an illusion of transparency wherein the value of the color at the “overlap” is midway between that of each parent color.

40
Q

Dark Transparency

A

Dark transparency is an illusion of transparency wherein the color at the “overlap” is darker in value than both of the intersection colors.

41
Q

Who is Richard Diebenkorn?

A

48
Q

A

Analogy is the direct result of observation when colors are strictly visual and sometimes nonvisual experiences.

49
Q

Proportional Color Inventory

A

A proportional color inventory represents the colors found in a source in a way that also depicts their proportional distribution;
it is best suited to images that have a somewhat graphic appearance with areas of flat color.

50
Q

Nonproportional Color Inventory

A

A nonproportional color inventory is a selection of colors drawn from an object or image, usually one that has an uncountable number of colors;
it should be a summation of the color in the source that expresses its entire chromatic range as well as possible in a few tones.

51
Q

RGB Mode

A

RGB stands for red, green, and blue;
they are primary colors and
their mode of color application is light.

52
Q

CMYK Mode

A

CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black;
they are secondary colors, or intermediate colors and
their mode of color application is pigment.

53
Q

What is the CMYK mode designed to do?

A

The CMYK mode is designed to simulate subtractive color mixing and represents the primary triad from mixing pigment, forming a secondary triad when intermixed.

54
Q

Additive

A

Additive is a color theory that underlies the manipulation of light.

55
Q

Gamut

A

A gamut is a range of hues available to a particular mode.

56
Q

What happens for the three-part colors when one moves a slider to the right?

A
