Question | Answer |
At spectrum intensity a blue-violet is | Dark in Value |
Analogous colors | May help create color harmony |
White is the result of overlapping projected rays of the additive color primaries. The additive color primaries include red, blue, and | Green |
In color mixing theory, blue plus green minus yellow plus red equals | Blue-violet |
When several contrasting colors are used together, they will look unified if | All are somewhat neutralized |
Mixing a common hue in each color used in painting will produce | Related or "key color" and a harmony of color tonality |
Analogous color | Are adjacent in the spectrum |
is a result of color absorbing all wavelengths except the color experienced; is an example of subtractive color | Color viewed by reflecting light |
Hues directly opposite each other on the color wheel are known as | Complementary |
All colors have the physical properties of | Hue, Value, Intensity |
Color as seen in the objective world (green leaves, blue water, white clouds, etc.) | Local color |
To make a yellow-green appear "greener", it must be surrounded by | Yellow |
The color is said to be neutralized; The intensity of that color is lowered; The resulting color becomes a tertiary color; A change in value occurs | Color mixed with a complement |
red theater spotlight makes white objects assume the color of the light; the artist may be dealing with color as seen on computer or television monitors | When additive color is used |
art that conforms to establish traditions and approve conventions as practice in formal art schools; stresses standards, set procedures and rules | Academic |
Relating to color perceived only in terms of neutral grays from light to dark without hue | Achromatic |
Color created by superimposing light rays | Additive Colors |
Colors that are closely related in hue; they are usually adjacent to each other on the color wheel | Analogous Colors |
Pertaining to the presence of color | Chromatic |
The relative degree of lightness or darkness demonstrated by a given color | Chromatic Value |
The visual response to different wavelengths of sunlight identified as red, green, blue, and so on; having the physical properties of hue, intensity, and value | Color |
Four colors, equally spaced on the color wheel, containing a primary and its complement and a complementary pair of intermediates; any organization of color on the wheel forming a rectangle that could include a double split-complement | Color Tetrad |
three colors, equally spaced on the color wheel, forming an equilateral triangle | Color Triad |
Two colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel | Complementary Colors |
Any color that has a value level of middle gray or lighter | High-key Color |
Generic name of a color; also designates a color's position in the spectrum or on the color wheel; it is determined by the specific wavelength of the color in a ray of light | Hue |
The saturation, strength, or purity of a hue. A vivid color is of high; a dull color is of low | Intensity |
A color produced by a mixture of a primary color and a secondary color | Intermediate Color |
The color as seen in the objective world (green grass, blue sky, red barn, etc.) | Local (objective) Color |
Any color that has a value level of middle gray or darker | Low-key Color |
Having only one hue; may include the complete range of value (of one hue) from white to black | Monochromatic |
Color that has been grayed or reduced in intensity by being mixed with any of the neutrals or with a complementary color (so that the mixture contains all three primaries, in equal or unequal amounts). | Neutralized (color) |
No single color is noticed-only a sense of light and dark or the range from white through gray to black | Neutrals |
A color substance that gives its color property to another material by being mixed with it or covering it; they are different from dyes | Pigment |
A preliminary hue that cannot be broken down or reduced into component colors; they are the basic hues of any color system that in theory may be used to mix all other colors | Primary Color |
The three primary colors on the color wheel (red, yellow, and blue) which are equally spaced and form an equilateral triangle | Primary Triad |
A color produced by a mixture of two primary colors | Secondary Color |
The three secondary colors on the color wheel (orange, green, and violet), which are equally spaced and for an equilateral triangle | Secondary Triad |
A color produced by mixing black with a hue, which lowers the value level and decreases the quantity of light reflected | Shade |
When two different colors come into direct contact, the contrast intensifies the difference between them | Simultaneous Contrast |
The band of individual colors that results when a beam of white light is broken into its component wavelengths, identifiable as hues | Spectrum |
A color and the two colors on either side of its complement | Split-complement |
That which is derived from the mind, instead of physical reality, and reflects a person bias emotion, or interpretation | Subjective Color |
The sensation of color that is produced when wavelengths of light are reflected back to the viewer after all other wavelengths have been subtracted and/or absorbed | Subtractive Color |
Color resulting from the mixture of all three primaries, two secondary colors, or complementary intermediates; are characterized by the neutralization of intensity and hue | Tertiary Color |
A color produced by mixing white with a hue, which raises the value level and increases the quantity of light reflected | Tint |
A generic term for the quality of a color, often indicating a slight modification in hue, value, or intensity | Tone |
The relative degree of lightness or darkness; the characteristic of color determined by its lightness or darkness or the quantity of light reflected by color | Value |
The arrangement or organization of values that control compositional movement and creates a unifying effect throughout a work of art | Value Pattern |
