BRIGHTNESS
the following are factors that influence
_______________________:

- surrounding colours
- colour juxtaposition
- colour constancy
factors that influence how we see colour
the following is a description of which colour influence?
we need a minimum amount of light to see colour properly
light environment
the following is a description of which colour influence?
colour is light reflecting off a surface
surface reflectance
the following is a description of which colour influence?
daylight has a higher colour temp than incandescent
colour temperature
the following is a description of which colour influence?
colours appear differently based on colours nearby
surrounding colours
the following is a description of which colour influence?
when placing 2 contrasting colours next to each other you risk creating colour vibrations
colour juxtaposition
the following is a description of which colour influence?
how does lighting and environment impact how we see colour
brightness and colour constancy
the following is a description of which colour influence?
racism, colourist behaviour
colour bias
how is colour used as an identifier?
- stoplights (red green and yellow)
- colour for sadness and joy (blue and yellow)
what are the 6 colour harmonies?

- analogous
- triadic
- complementary
- slit complementary
- tetratic
which colour harmonie is this description referring to??

- helps isolate subjects by limiting focus to line/focus
monochromatic!!!
which colour harmonie is this description referring to??
- neighbouring hues
- easy on the eyes
- common in nature
analogous
which colour harmonie is this description referring to??
- equidistant hues
- often seen in cartoons
triadic
which colour harmonie is this description referring to??
- opposing hues
- very common
- pleasing to the eye
complementary
which colour harmonie is this description referring to??
- similar to complimentary
- a wider more flexible pallet
slit complementary
