Light: the Visible Spectrum
The Color Wheel The color wheel is a way to visualize and organize the entire color spectrum of light. The ends of the spectrum are bent around a circle to form a color wheel
Types of Color Theories Additive Color (RBG) The additive (light) theory deals with radiated and filtered light. Subtractive Color (CMYK) The subtractive (pigment) theory deals with how white light is absorbed and reflected off of colored surfaces.
Additive Theory • White (sunlight) radiates ALL light • Black radiates no light • Light-emitting media use the process of capturing and radiating light, therefore they use Additive (Light) Theory • Primary colors in Additive Theory: • Red (R) • Green ( G ) • Blue (B) • All the primaries mixed together to make WHITE • Additive (Light) Theory is used in computer monitors, television, theater lighting, and video production.
Subtractive Theory • Black absorbs most light • White reflects most light • Colored Pigments absorb light and reflect only the frequency of the pigment color. • All colors other than the pigment colors are absorbed, so this is called subtractive color theory. • Primary colors in Subtractive Theory: – Cyan (C) – Magenta ( M ) – Yellow ( Y ) – Black (K) • Subtractive or Pigment Theory is used in desktop and commercial printing.
Subtractive Color: RYB Color Model • Traditional “Painter’s Color Wheel” • Primary Colors (RYB) are pure pigments that cannot be mixed: o Red o Yellow o Blue • RYB is used primarily with traditional pigment-based art media (like painting)
The Color Wheel Colors on the wheel can be described using three elements: 1. Hue: pure color 2. Saturation: brightness or dullness 3. Value: lightness or darkness
Color Theory 101 Hue • The technical name for color • Describes the position of a color on a classic color wheel • Used to name the color (Yellow, Orange, Red, etc. )
Color Theory 101 Saturation • Saturation refers to how vivid and intense a color is
Tone = Shade + Tint
