color wheel
The color wheel is a fundamental tool used in art and design to
understand the relationships between colors. It is a circular
arrangement of colors organized based on their chromatic
relationship to one another . The color wheel consists of primary,
secondary, and tertiary colors.
Primary Colors: The primary colors are equidistant from each
other on the color wheel and cannot be created by mixing other
colors. The primary colors are Red, Yellow, and Blue
Secondary Colors: Secondary colors are created by mixing two
primary colors together. The secondary colors are Orange (Red +
Yellow), Green (Yellow + Blue), and Purple (Blue + Red) .
Tertiary Colors: Tertiary colors are created by mixing a primary
color with a neighboring secondary color on the color wheel.
Examples of tertiary colors include Yellow-Green, Blue-Green,
Blue-Violet, Red-Violet, Red-Orange, and Yellow-Orange

OBJECTIVES
The color wheel helps artists and designers choose colors and color
schemes based on their relationships to one another. It is a useful
tool for creating harmonious and visually appealing compositions .
Complementary colors, which are hues that contrast with each
other, are positioned exactly opposite one another on the color
wheel
Other representations of color relationships include the painters
color triangle, the printers color triangle, and the nine-part harmonic
triangle of Goethe.

properties of colors
Colors have various properties that contribute to their visual appearance and impact. Here are some key properties of colors:
1. Hue: Hue refers to the purest form of a color and is often identified by the color's name, such as red, blue, or yellow. It
represents the base color without any added white, black, or gray 1.
2. Value: Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. It is determined by the amount of white or black added to a hue. A
higher value indicates a lighter color, while a lower value indicates a darker color. Value plays a crucial role in creating contrast
and defining the overall tone of an artwork 2.
3. Saturation: Saturation, also known as chroma or intensity, refers to the purity or vividness of a color. A highly saturated color
appears vibrant and intense, while a desaturated color appears more muted or grayish. Saturation can be adjusted by adding
gray or by mixing complementary colors 2.
4. Color Temperature: Colors can be categorized into warm and cool tones based on their perceived temperature. Warm colors,
such as red, orange, and yellow, evoke feelings of warmth, energy, and excitement. Cool colors, such as blue, green, and purple,
create a sense of calmness, tranquility, and serenity. Understanding color temperature can help in setting the mood and
atmosphere in artwork.
5. Color Harmony: Color harmony refers to the pleasing combination of colors in an artwork. It involves selecting colors that work
well together and create a sense of balance and unity. Color harmony can be achieved through various color schemes, such as
complementary, analogous, or monochromatic schemes.
6. Color Transparency: In some contexts, colors can have transparency or opacity properties. Transparency refers to the degree to
which an object or color allows light to pass through it. Transparent colors are see-through, while opaque colors are solid and
block light. Transparency can be adjusted to create visual effects and layering in artwork

color scheme
1. Monochromatic Color Scheme:
This scheme involves using
different shades, tints, and tones of
a single color.
It creates a harmonious and
cohesive look with a sense of unity.
For example, using various shades
of blue in an artwork.
