Colour Theory (25th March 2013)
- Define Hue: a gradation or variety of a colour; tint; pale hues. The property of light by which the colour of an object is classified as red, blue, green, or yellow in reference to the spectrum.
- Define value: When we describe a colour as "light" or "dark", we are discussing its value or "brightness". This property of colour tells us how light or dark a colour is based on how close it is to white.
- Define saturation: saturation tells us how a colour looks under certain lighting conditions. This property of colour can also be called intensity.
- Define secondary colour: A colour resulting from the mixing of two primary colours.
- Define tertiary colour: A tertiary colour is a colour made by mixing one primary colour with one secondary colour, in a given colour space such as RGB or RYB.
- Define complementary colours: Colours directly opposite each other in the colour spectrum, such as red and green or blue and orange, that when combined in the right proportions, produce white light.
- Define analogous colours: Colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel and are closely related.
