Print this document on a computer-printable transparent plastic sheet, for example those made by Graphix, whichare available at large of�ce and art supply stores. Be sure to use sheets that are compatible with your printer, ink jetor laser. Carefully follow the instructions that accompany the plastic sheets. Set your printer driver for transparencydocument, print on the correct side of the sheets, and let the printed sheets dry for several minutes before touchingthe inked areas, or stacking them. Cut out the printed rectangles using scissors or a craft knife. To experiment withdifferent colors, copy this pdf to your desktop, open it as an Illustrator �le (.ai), and change the colors of the overlays.

Advancing and Receding Colors

Interactive Chart 1

One task of vision is to make the world appear consistent and stable. It adjusts to changes in light so that the difference betweencolors appears constant. Instructions: From the bag labeled “Chips for interactive charts”, remove three chips from each of the stacks of5P 7/4 and 5GY 8/4 chips and place one of each chip in the rectangles below*. Cover the second large rectangle with the blue transparentplastic sheet that you printed, and cover the third with the yellow sheet. Even though the colors of the chips appear to change, each setof two colors looks equally different, regardless of the color of the “light” (Chapter 3)

Successive Contrast and Vibrating BoundariesTo continue functioning well, vision adapts to the over-stimulation of intense light or vibrant color by creating the perceptuallyopposite, complementary color. Instructions: Remove the 5GY 6/8 from your 5GY Hue Chart and place it inside the purple rectangle below.* Brightly light this page andstare at the chip for 15 - 30 seconds. As you stare, notice that a subtle purple haze begins to veil the green-yellow,and a green-yellow haze veils the purple, making both colors appear grayer. Also notice that the edges of both colors begin to shake or vibrate.Quickly move your gaze to the adjacent white rectangle. Gradually, a faint afterimage will appear, revealing the perceptual complementarycolors. Next, place the 5P 4/10 chip inside the yellow-green rectangle. Again, stare at the yellow-green chip against the purple background. After, move your gaze to the purple chip in the yellow-green background. Notice that the afterimage makes these complementary colorsmore vivid (Chapter 2 and 3). Experiment with other colors.

There is a similarity between how the eye focuses on near objects and how it focuses on “warm” colors, and a similarity between how theeye focuses on distant objects and how it focuses on “cool” colors. This may explain why “warm” colors appear to be closer in distance than “cool” colors, when together in a design or composition. Instructions: Select chips from your Hue charts that demonstrate this effectand place them below.* Hint: The “warm” colors should contrast well in value and chroma with the “cool” colors (Chapter 2).

Simultaneous ContrastWhen one color is surrounded by another, vision emphasizes the differences between the colors. Using this effect, one color can be made to look like six. Instructions: Remove the six, identical, purple chips from the bag marked “Chips for Interactive charts” and place them horizontally in the colored rectangles below.* Repeat using the six green-yellow chips from the bag (Chapter 3).

Separated ColorTo help us understand the world, and for survival, vision empathizes the similarities among colorsthat are a distance apart. From your Hue charts select two colors that are similar but not the same, forexample, 5B 6/8 and 5BG 6/8 or 5GY 5/6 and 5Y 5/6. At the top of the long inner rectangle at left, stackthe two chips side by side. Then slowly move the bottom chip to the end of the rectangle.* Notice thatas the chips separate their hues appear increasingly similar. Hint: The values and chromas of the two colorsshould be the same or similar. Also the effect is stronger if viewed from a distance (Chapter 3).

Color Assimilation and Optical MixtureWhen one color is surrounded by another, vision emphasizes the differences between the colors.However, when colors are alternated in very thin stripes or tiny dots the opposite effect occurs andvision emphasizes the similarity between the colors; they appear more alike. If the stripes or dots aretiny, or viewed from a distance, vision is unable to differentiate the colors and they appear mixed. Instructions: Align the transparent plastic sheet with the green stripes, that you printed, so thattwo-thirds of the green stripes alternate with each set of the colored stripes above. Notice that when the colored stripes are alternating, for example green and red, their colors appear more alike than when they are against white. Next, gaze at the area of alternating colors from a distance and notice that the colors appear to mix (Chapters 3 and 8).

IridescenceA shimmering effect can be created by layering and shifting semi-transparent materials that have a linear or grid structure, forexample, certain fabrics and �ne metal screening. The effect is also seen if the viewer’s angle of view moves. Optical mixture causes thecolors to mix. Instructions: Drag and rotate the plastic sheet printed with the purple grid, that you printed, on top of each colored gridbelow. Repeat, using the red grid. Repeat, layering the red and purple grids grid and moving them in opposite directions (Chapter 3).

Transparency EffectThe illusion of overlaying two transparent colors can be created with opaque paints and papers by carefully mixing or choosing the color for the overlaid area. Instructions: From your color charts, select chips that create the illusion of transparency and place them in the openspaces above.* Remember that the color of overlaid transparent colors always is darker and a bit grayer than both “parent” colors.Hint: Refer to the Munsell hue circle to �nd a hue between the “parent” hues (Chapter 3).

Harmonious and Balanced Color GroupsA popular theory, based on observations of nature, postulates that harmonious and balanced groups of colors are pleasing. According to this theory, harmonious color groups comprise similar colors, and balanced color groups comprise opposite or nearlyopposite colors. Instructions: Remove colored chips from the color charts and place them below to create an example of each color group.* Within each group establish color control, as de�ned above. Work to create unusual combinations, for example, high value orlow chroma-dominant color groups (Chapter 4). Use different hues than those pictured in the book.

Color ControlOften, an artist or designer wishes to create an appearance of unity in a work. This can be accomplished by establishing adominant hue, value, and chroma, and repeating them throughout the work, for example, light and vivid blues, or dark andgrayed browns. To prevent monotony, included are a few colors that contrast in hue, value, and chroma. Instructions: Create twouni�ed designs by carefully choosing colored chips from the charts and placing them below,* making sure to establish dominanance, repetition, and contrast in each design (Chapter 4 and Color Plate 6).

Harmonious: Monochromatic Harmonious: Analogous

Balanced: Complement Balanced: Near Complement Balanced: Split Complement

Balanced: Triad Balanced: Tetrad

The Munsell Color System is organized for the way you see color; designedfor the way color is manufactured, the Munsell Book of color is an atlas andcompass combined.

Any color you can imagine can be located in color space along with its neighboringcolors. So the more you frequent a given color “neighborhood,” just like anatlas, you become more familiar with the colors in a given space. And when youarrive in a new neighborhood, you quickly and easily become acclimated.

More importantly, you have a useful tool that will help you predict how colorwill change should you take a new color direction and also help you visualize howthe new color will look.
