Color refers to the hue, lightness, and saturation of an object. In physics, color is linked specifically with a form of electromagnetic radiation that generates a certain wavelength visible to the human eye. Color theory refers to both the science and art of utilizing color. It describes how humans perceive color based on the visual phenomena of how colors mix and match with each other. Color theory also refers to how color can convey emotion and or message. The consumer buying decision process is said to take approximately 90 seconds or less, it is also widely regarded that 90% of that decision process is largely guided by color persuasion. And as such, ensuring your branding activities focus on delivering an appropriate color palette is hugely important. ---- Want to learn more, please visit our website: https://liasidik.com Be sure to follow us: https://www.instagram.com/liasidik https://www.facebook.com/liasidik.branding https://twitter.com/liasidik Or contact our team via WhatsApp +62 89 659 108 869 If you have any additional questions, please leave a comment.

4. The Color Wheel
An organization of color hues around a
circle, showing relationships between
colors considered to be primary colors,
secondary colors, complementary
colors, etc.
The color wheel or color circle is the
basic tool for combining colors. The first
circular color diagram was designed
by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666.

17. What do complementary colors mean?
Colors that are opposite each
other on the color wheel
are considered to be
complementary colors
(ex: red and green).
The high contrast of
complementary colors creates
a vibrant look especially when
used at full saturation.
This color scheme must be
managed well so it is not jarring.

19. What do split complementary colors mean?
The split-complementary color
scheme is a variation
of the complementary color
scheme. In addition to the base
color, it uses the two colors
adjacent to its complement.
This color scheme has the same
strong visual contrast as the
complementary color scheme,
but has less tension.

scheme is a variation of the
complementary color scheme.

it uses the two colors adjacent

23. What do tetradic colors mean?
The tetradic (double
complementary) scheme is
the richest of all the schemes
because it uses four colors
arranged into two complementary
color pairs.
This scheme is hard to harmonize,
if all four colors are used in equal
amounts, the scheme may look
unbalanced, so you should
choose a color to be dominant
or subdue the colors.

25. What do neutral colors mean?
Neutral usually means without color.
Neutral colors help to put the focus
on other colors or serve to tone down
colors that might otherwise be
overpowering on their own.
To some extent blacks, browns, tans,
golds, and beige colors are considered
warm. While white, ivory, silver, and
gray are somewhat cooler colors.

27. What are tints, shades, and tones?
Tints, Shades, and Tones these terms are often used incorrectly,
although they describe fairly simple color concepts. If a color is made
lighter by adding white, the result is called a tint. If black is added, the
darker version is called a shade. And if gray is added, the result is a
different tone.
1. Tints - adding white to a pure hue:
2. Shades - adding black to a pure hue:
3. Tones - adding gray to a pure hue:

28. Color Contrast
How color behaves in relation to other colors and shapes is a complex
area of color theory.
All of the center boxes are identical but somehow red appears
more brilliant against a black background and somewhat duller against the
white background.
In contrast with orange, the red appears lifeless; in contrast with blue-green,
it exhibits brilliance. Notice that the red square appears larger on black than
on other background colors.
