Color Theory

Theory Of Colors:

             

                                      Color theory encompasses a multitude of definitions, concepts and design applications - enough to fill several encyclopedias. However, there are three basic categories of color theory that are logical and useful. The color wheel, color harmony, and the context of how colors are used.  Color theories create a logical structure for color.

                   The Color Wheel:

            Color circle, based on red, yellow and blue, is traditional in the field of art. Sir Isaac Newton developed the first circular diagram of colors in 1666.

There are also definitions (or categories) of colors based on the color wheel. We begin with a 3-part color 

wheel.

Primary Colors: Red, yellow and blue

In traditional color theory , primary colors are the 3 pigment colors that can not be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors.

Secondary Colors: Green, orange and purple
These are the colors formed by mixing the primary colors.

                           Tertiary Colors: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green & yellow-green
These are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color.

Color Harmony:

                                                                        Harmony can be defined as a pleasing arrangement of parts, whether it be music, poetry, color, or even an ice cream sundae. The visual task requires that we present a logical structure. Color harmony delivers visual interest and a sense of order.
