Color Basics

- Color is determined by its name, how pure or desaturated it is, and its value or lightness.

- Chroma: How pure a hue is in relation to gray 


- Saturation: The degree of purity of a hue. 


- Intensity: The brightness or dullness of a hue. One may lower the intensity by adding white or black. 


- Luminance / Value: A measure of the amount of light reflected from a hue. Those hues with a high content of white have a higher luminance or value.

- Shade and tint: are terms that refer to a variation of a hue.

- Shade: A hue produced by the addition of black. 
Tint: A hue produced by the addition of white.

- Tint: A hue produced by the addition of white

- There are color systems such as subtractive color and addictive color. Subtractive color is when you mix colors using paint. Addictive color is when as more color is added, the result is lighter and tends to white.

- The warmer colors are called the active range and the cooler colors are called the passive range.

- Vibrating Boundaries may occur when opposing colors are brought together.

- Monochromatic Relationship: Colors that are shade or tint variations of the same hue.

- Complementary Relationship: Those colors across from each other on a color wheel.

- Split-Complementary Relationship: One hue plus two others equally spaced from its complement.

- Double-Complementary Relationship: Two complementary color sets; the distance between selected complementary pairs will effect the overall contrast of the final composition.

- Analogous Relationship: Those colors located adjacent to each other on a color wheel.

- Triad Relationship: Three hues equally positioned on a color wheel.
