INTRODUCTION:
4. PROPERTIES:
• HUE: The property of colours by which they are seen
as ranging from red through orange, yellow, green, blue,
indigo, and violet, as determined by the dominant
wavelength of the light.
• INTENSITY: Intensity is used to describe the
brightness and purity of a colour. When a hue is strong
and bright, it is said to be high in intensity. When a
colour is faint, dull and gray, it is said to be low in
intensity.
5. We've got a red
which is super intense at the top, then by adding green to
that red we take down the intensity.
- VALUE: The third and final property of color is its
value, meaning its lightness or darkness. The terms shade
and tint are in reference to value changes in colors.
6. -SHADES: A colour with black added which
reduces its brightness.
-TINT: A colour with white added which
increases its brightness
7. SATURATION:
The relative intensity or brightness of a colour. Bright,
vibrant colours (reds or oranges) have a saturation dull
or muted colours (browns) have a low degree of
saturation.
“ COLOUR CAN BE OF THE SAME HUE & STILL
HAVE VARYING DEGRESS OF SATURATION”
