1
TheCOLOR wheel helps to organize the colors in
the spectrum.

• Not all colors may be found on the color wheel
  (ex. black, gray, white, browns, neutrals and
  other specialty colors ex. neons and metallics).

2
Colors are organized into 4 major groups

• 1. Primary Colors
• 2. Secondary Colors
• 3. Intermediate Colors
• 4. Neutral Colors

3
1. Primary Colors

• Primary colors cannot be produced by mixing
  other colors together. They can only be made from
  nature or from chemicals.
• Primary colors make all the other colors.
• The primary colors are
• RED, BLUE, and YELLOW

2. Secondary Colors

• Secondary colors are produced by mixing primary
  colors

3. Intermediate Colors

• Intermediate (in-between) colors are produced by
  mixing a primary and secondary color that are
  side-by-side on the color wheel
• Primary colorSecondary colorIntermediate Color
• blue-green, blue-violet,
• red-violet, red-orange
• yellow-orange, yellow-green

4. Neutrals

• white,
• black,
• gray, values
• and browns

COLOR SCHEMES
8

• Monochromatic
• Analogous
• Complementary
• Split complement
• Triadic

9

• Monochromatic Color Scheme
• Mono one, single,. . . as in monorail
• Chroma color
• thus monochromatic One color.
• This color scheme can be achieved by using tints
  and shades of one hue.

10
Color schemes Analogous

• Colors that are next to each other on the color
  wheel. Colors with a family resemblance.
• Analogous colors will have some of the same
  primary color ex. yellow, yellow-orange, and
  orange, or blue, blue-green, and green etc.
• Analogous will always mix well.

11
Color schemes Complementary

• Colors that are opposite each other on the color
  wheel ex. red and green, violet and yellow,
  yellow-green and red-violet etc.
• If mixed together in near equal amounts,
  complements make a neutral color.
• If a little of a hues complement is mixed in
  with it, the result will be a dulling or
  neutralizing of that hues intensity.

12
Split complement

• Three colors that are opposite each other on the
  color wheel, but to either side of the exact
  opposite (complement) ex. red, blue-green, and
  yellow-green

13
Triadic

• Colors that are equally spaced. The most famous
  of these is the primary triad . . . red, yellow,
  and blue.
• Triadic harmonies are most effective if only one
  color is allowed to dominate.
