A hue into which various quantities of white are mixed
Hue + White = Tint
19. Shade
A hue into which various quantities of black are mixed;
the darkness of a hue.
Hue + Black = Shade
20. Tone

complement of the hue, resulting in dulling the hue.

Red Tone Color Palette
24. Primary colors are known
as basic colors because they
cannot be created by mixing
other hues. Since humans
are trichromatic, the
primary colors yellow, red,
and blue are fundamental to
human vision. Primary
colors are the building
blocks of all other colors.
Primary colors
25. Secondary colors are created by
the equal mixture of two primary
colors. For example, yellow and
red make orange, red and blue
make purple, and blue and yellow
make green. On a color wheel, the
secondary colors are located
between two primary colors.
Secondary colors
26. Tertiary color
When we blend secondary and
primary colors together, you get
what is called a tertiary color, or
intermediate color. On a color
wheel, the tertiary colors are found
between the primary and secondary
colors. Yellow-orange, red-orange,
red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green,
and yellow-green are examples of
tertiary colors.
28. Color Wheel
Color wheel are a way to arrange colors. A color wheel
arranges colors around the edges of a circle. Primary colors
are in the middle.
Three common color wheel-
Artist’s Wheel
Subtractive Wheel
Additive Wheel
29. •Artist’s Wheel-
RYB - Red, Yellow, Blue
Application:
• Used in art and art education
• Particularly painting.
32. Conclusion
Colors have a demonstrable psychological effect. So, our
automatic reaction to colors is so strong. The sight of red
means warning and white mean simplicity and respective of
title. Military uniforms are intentionally colored to give
statement and impose authority. Colors are used in many ways
to assert recognition because they are fairly easy to read and
understand.
