The document defines key color properties and color schemes. It describes hue as the name of a color, value as its lightness or darkness, and intensity as its brightness. It lists red, yellow and blue as primary colors that can produce other hues when mixed. Secondary colors are made from two primaries, and tertiary colors combine a primary with a secondary. Monochromatic uses one hue in different tones, while complementary mixes a hue with its opposite on the wheel. Analogous uses adjacent hues, and warm colors seem to advance while cool colors recede.

2. 3 Properties of ColorHue: the name of a color in the color spectrum

3. Value: the art element tat describes the lightness of darkness of a color

4. Intensity: brightness or dullness of a huePRIMARY COLORS:red, yellow, & blueCannot be made by mixing other hues together, but by combining the three primary colors and black and white you can produce every other color

7. SECONDARY COLORS:orange, violet and greenmade by mixing two primary colors

8. INTERMEDIATE/TERTIARY COLORSred-orange, yellow-orange, blue-green, blue-violet, yellow-green, red-violet;made by mixing a primary color with its secondary color

9. MONOCHROMATICA color scheme that uses only one hue and the tints and shades of that hue. Has a strong, unifying effect on a design, but can be boring.

12. COMPLEMENTARYThe colors opposite each other on the color wheel. Mixing a hue with its complement dulls the hues or lowers its intensity.

16. Split complement:the combination of one hue plus the hues on each side of its complement. Easier to work with than a straight complementary scheme because it offers more variety

17. TRIADThree colors spaced an equal distance apart on the color wheel. Contrast is not as strong as between complements.

18. ANALOGOUSColors that sit side by side on the color wheel and have a common hue. An analogous colors scheme creates a design that ties one shape to the next through a common color.

20. WARM & COOLWarm: red, orange, yellow – associated with warm things and seem to move toward the viewerCool: blue, green, violet – associated with cool things & seem to recede
