The 3 “Parts” of Color
• 1 – HUE
• 2 – VALUE
• 3 - INTENSITY
![Page 3: Color Theory](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020417/568143e2550346895db06bcb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
HUE
• HUE - This is what we usually mean when we ask "what color is that?" The property of color that we are actually asking about is "hue". For example, when we talk about colors that are red, yellow, green, and blue, we are talking about the ‘hues’.
• A hue is a color at its FULL INTENSITY; basically, it’s place on the full color wheel

VALUE(color has value too!)
• The lightness or darkness of the hue
• SHADE – a color to which BLACK has been added

• TINT – a color to which WHITE has been added

INTENSITY * SATURATION
• the BRIGHTNESS or DULLNESS (strength or weakness) of a color.
• Ex. Pure blue is very intense…when you add a lighter or darker color to blue it makes the blue less intense

• Mixing a color with its complimentary color reduces the intensity and brings the hue towards gray:

Tertiary colors
Achieved by mixing a PRIMARY color and a SECONDARY color
You name these with the PRIMARY color first…..red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green

Complementary Colors are…..
ACROSS from each other on the color wheel

Analogous Colors are…

• Feelings about color can also be deeply personal and are often rooted in your own experience or culture.
• For example, while the color white is used in many Western countries to represent purity and innocence, it is seen as a symbol of mourning in many Eastern countries.

Hints• When mixing…start with LIGHTER color and
add small amounts of the darker color
• Make sure your colors are in the CORRECT order on your color wheel – check to see that when you squint you see a progression and that no two colors are too ‘close’ in hue to each other
• You should ONLY be using the primary colors of paint and MIXING all others!!
![Page 36: Color Theory](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020417/568143e2550346895db06bcb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
I’d like you to….
• CONSERVE PAINT – only pour out small amounts at a time!
