The color wheel fits together like a puzzle - each color in a specific place. Being familiar with the

color wheel not only

helps you mix colors

when painting, but in

adding color to

all your art

creations.

Primary Colors

Primary colors are not mixed from other

elements and they generate all other colors.

• Red

• Yellow

• Blue

Secondary Colors

By mixing two primary colors, a secondary

color is created.

• Red + Yellow = Orange

• Yellow + Blue = Green

• Blue + Red = Purple

Intermediate, or Tertiary, colors are created by

mixing a primary and a secondary.

•red-orange

•yellow-orange

•yellow-green

•blue-green

•blue-purple

•red-purple

The neutral are created when you mix two

complementary (opposite) colors together. They

lessen the intensity of a color. Neutral colors help

create depth, for they recede in space, or in other

words make things look further away. You need

good color rich neutrals in shadows or in the

background!

What colors can you mix to form a neutral?

Color values are the lights and darks of a color

created by using black and white the color.

Make sure you mix them in the correct order!

• white + color = tint

• color + black = shade

Tints are lightened colors. Always begin with

white and add a bit of color to the white until

the desired tint is obtained. This is an

example of a value scale for the tints

of blue.

Shades are darkened colors. Always begin

with the color and add just a bit of black at a

time to get the desired shade of a color. This

is an example of a value scale for the shades

of blue.

“Mono” means “one”, “chroma” means “color”…

monochromatic color schemes have only one

color and its values. The following slide

shows a painting done in a monochromatic

color scheme.

This monochromatic

painting has both

tints and shades of

green in it.

Complementary colors are opposite on the

color wheel provided a high contrast –

When you mix complements you will get a

neutral color

This painting has

complementary

colors and their values

– reds and greens

The analogous color scheme is 3-5 colors

adjacent to each other on the color wheel.

This combination of colors provides very little

contrast.

Analogous

Page 20: Color Wheel Color Values Color Schemes · Color Schemes are a systematic way of using the color wheel to put colors together… in your art work, putting together the clothes you

Analogous colors are illustrated here: yellow,

yellow-green, green and blue-green.

Warm colors are found on the right side of the

color wheel. Warm colors make objects look

closer in a painting or drawing.

This is an illustration of

the use of warm

colors - reds, oranges

and yellows.

Cool colors are found on the left side of the

color wheel. Cool colors tend to recede in a

composition.

Let’s Review

• The primary colors are: red blue yellow

• When you mix them they make secondary colors:

orange green purple

• When you mix secondary and primary colors you

get tertiary colors: red-orange and red-purple

yellow- orange and yellow- green

blue – green and blue-purple

CoColors that work best in the Background: Cool,

Neutral, and shades of the original colors

Colors that work best in the Foreground: Warm and

Bright

Cool colors are in the blue family

Warm colors are in the yellow and red family

• Color schemes help paintings look unified

• By mixing a color with its compliment you get a

neutralized version of the color:

Red’s compliment is Green

Yellow’s compliment is Purple

Blue’s compliment is Orange

Neutrals are not just brown! This is a neutral Blue

This is a neutral Green , This is a neutral Orange,

This is a neutral Red, This is a neutral Yellow

• Mixing colors properly saves time and paint!

Light pigment + darker pigment = correct color mixing

technique

• The value of a color is the light or darkness of the

color

A TINT is the lighter version of a color

A SHADE is a darker version of the color

Value is used to add depth, 3-D, and makes your

art look more like real life!

• Analogous colors have to touch each other, an

easy way to remember is to name the primary,

then the tertiary then secondary the color in a

row!
