COLOR THEORY DEFINITIONS

​COLOR:
the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light.

Additive Color: is color created by mixing a number of different light colors, with shades of red, green, and blue being the most common primary colors used in additive color system.

Subtractive Color: explains the mixing of a limited set of dyes, inks, paint pigments or natural colorants to create a wider range of colors, each the result of partially or completely subtracting (that is, absorbing) some wavelengths of light and not others.

Primary Colors: any of a group of colors from which all other colors can be obtained by mixing.

Secondary Colors: a color resulting from the mixing of two primary colors.

Complimentary Colors: colors directly opposite each other in the color spectrum, such as red and green or blue and orange, that when combined in the right proportions, produce white light.

Triadic Colors: uses colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel. Triadic color harmonies tend to be quite vibrant, even if you use pale or unsaturated versions of your hues.

​Analogous Colors: Colors next to each other on the color wheel.

​Warm Colors: tend to advance in space and can be overwhelming. Examples of warm colors include red and orange (think exciting fire and volcanoes). Contrast with cool colors.

Cool Colors: calm or soothing in nature. Cool colors are not overpowering and tend to recede in space. Examples of cool colors include white, gray, blue and green (think calming blue waters). Contrast with warm colors.
