intensity
a hue mixed with gray or its complement to make it dull or less intense
tone
variation of one hue - tinting or shading of color
monochromatic hue
not found in visible spectrum ; white, black, gray
achromatic color
three hues that can be combined to make all other hues
- what are the 3 colors?
- color wheel primary
- red, yellow, blue
equal mixtures of two primary hues
-what are secondary colors?
- secondary color wheel
- orange, green, purple (violet)
a color produced by an equal mixture of a primary color with a secondary color adjacent to it on the color wheel
tertiary
another word for color
hue
visible band; the original standard of color; the progressive arrangement of colors (roygbiv) seen when a beam of white light is broken down into its component colors
spectrum
the return of light waves from surfaces; the bending or folding back of a part upon itself
reflection
the process of taking in, as in a colored object which absorbs certain rays of light and reflects other rays giving the object its recognizable color
absorption
colors obtained by mixing two primary colors in unequal proportions
intermediate colors
directly opposite hues on the color wheel. any two pigmentary hues which by their mixture in equal quantities, produce gray.
complementary colors
in color harmony. two or more hues which have the same hues in common
analogous
a color scheme that used colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel. color harmonies tend to be quite vibrant, even if you use pale or unsaturated versions of your hues
triadic
in addition to the base color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement; this color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme; but less tension
split complementary
any four colors with a rectangular relationship on the color wheel; like double complements
rectangular tetradic

incandescent light
tubular bulb where phosphorous changes electric current into light
fluorescent light

hue of the bulb
the brightness of the illumination, bulb wattage
brilliance chroma
a visual aspect indicating the vividness of the hue in the degree of difference from gray
saturation of the bulb
mixing colored light together to create another light
additive method
the process of diminishing the wavelengths by superimposing two or more color transparencies over the same light source; thereby reducing the absorption of colors in the light.
subtractive method
