| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Color is not fixed. It changes depending on: | Lighting, surrounding colors, and viewer perception. |
| Properties of Color: Hue | The name of the color on the color wheel in its purest state (type of color). |
| Properties of Color: Value | The lightness or darkness of a color (+white, +black). |
| Properties of Color: Saturation (Intensity/Chroma) | The brightness or dullness of a color aka intensity. |
| How We See Color: Rods | Sees black and white intensities. |
| How We See Color: Cones | Sees RGB colored light intensities. |
| How We See Color: Trichromatic Theory | A theory of color vision that states there are three types of color receptors in the human eye. Cones sensitive to either red, green, or blue regions of the light spectrum. |
| HWSC: Brain Processing Path 1 - Retina | Receives impulses and transfers them to the optic nerve. |
| HWSC: BP Path 2 - Optic Nerve | Sends information to the rest of the brain system. |
| HWSC: BP Path 3 - Thalamus | A switching station of the eye for most sensory input and sends the electrical impulses to the visual cortex. |
| HWSC: BP Path 4 - Visual Cortex | Processes signals from the retina and determines key visual information such as color, edge detection, motion, and depth. |
| HWSC: BP Path 5 - Prefrontal Cortex | Receives visual information from the visual cortex for it to be rationalized and contextualized. |
| Color Models: RYB | Purpose: Artists' Color wheel |
| CM: RGB | Purpose: Light Mixtures - Screens |
| CM: CMYK | Purpose: Printing and Photographic Color Processes |
| Additive Color (RGB) | Mixing light --> gets brighter; (with pure or unreflected light) |
| Subtractive Color (CMY) | Mixing pigment --> absorbs light; (deals with light after it reflects off objects and part of the light spectrum is absorbed) |
| Color Schemes: Monochromatic | Based on one color and use various tints and shades of that color to depict value. |
| CS: Complementary | Based on colors opposite of each other on the color wheel. Red and Green, Blue and Orange, Purple and Yellow, etc. (High Contrast) |
| CS: Analogous | Based on colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. |
| Color in the Real World: Local Color | The color of an object when seen under flat white light with no adjustment for form shadow or colors of light or secondary light sources. (True Color) |
| CITRW: Atmospheric Light | Caused by the scattering of light air molecules and by particles in the air. |
| CITRW: Perceived Color | Drawing what the eye “actually” sees, rather than the local color. (Highly Subjective) |
| CITRW: Experiential Color | A combination of local color, atmospheric light, and perceived color creating a more holistic color system. |
