PRIMARY, SECONDARY AND TERTIARY COLOURS.

What is colour?
We perceive the color with our eyes, depending of the color of the matter that is made with.

The world that surround us is in color, the things arent different only by its size, also by its
colour. Always that we look into the nature or an urban landscape we can appreciate a lot of
colors, because of the light that is over it.
 COMPLEMENTARY AND ANALOGOUS COLOURS

Complementary colours are opposite each other in the colour wheel.

When we put this colours together become brighter; one color is always cool and the other
always warm. This is a phenomenon in Color Theory called Simultaneous Contrast.
The 2 colours are always a combination of all three Primary Colors meaning one
completes or complements the other.

Examples: Red and Green,Violet and Yellow, Blue and orange.

Analogous colours are groups of three colors that are next to each other on the color wheel,
with one being the dominant color, which tends to be a primary secondary color, and a tertiary.
 Red, orange, and red- orange are examples.

COLOUR SYSTEMS: SUBSTRACTIVE AND

ADDITIVE COLOURS

Colour is an impression made by the organs of vision. Colours can be classificated principally
in subtractive colours and additive colours.

The primary colours of this type are: the cyan, the magenta and the yellow. Suming this
colours you can produce other colours that are called secondary colours, which are: the
blue (cyan and magenta), the red (magenta and yellow), the green ( yellow and cyan)

The additive colour or light colour is a phenomenon that is produced when we sum two or
more colours and they produce a lighter colour. You can perceive it in televisions or monitors.

The primary colours are: the blue, the red and the green. Suming this colours we can produce
other colours that are called secondary colours, which are: the yellow(green and red), cyan
(blue and green), magenta (blue and red).

ATTRIBUTES OF COLOUR: HUE, VALUE, SATURATION

Color is one of the most powerful elements. It has a lot of expressive qualities. The word color
is the general term which applies to the whole subject: red, orange, yellow, green...

Value is defined as the relative lightness or darkness of a color. Contrast of value separates
objects in space. With value we create a sensation of depth.

Hue is the term for the pure gamma of colors commonly referred to the "color names" : red,
orange, yellow, blue, green, violet. Which appear in the hue circle or rainbow. (MATIZ)

Saturation of a color is determined by a combination of light intensity and

how much it is distributed across the gamma.
