Colour Theory

15th October 2013


Hue: Defining characteristics of a colour e.g. red



Value: Tonal value of a colour 










Primary Colours: Red, yellow, blue


















Secondary Colours: Primary colours with the colour between each. So red-orange-yellow-green-blue-purple












Tertiary Colours: The colour in between each secondary colour












Shade: Hue where black has been added


Tint: Hue where white has been added

 
Complementary Colours: To make a colour true/strong a colour is put with a complementary e.g. Tropicana orange juice - orange and blue. This is said by some as clashing but it can be pleasing to the eye.












Contrasting colours
