Complementary colors are directly opposite each other on the color wheel, such as red and green or blue and orange. When mixed together, complements form neutral colors like brown or gray. Analogous colors are next to each other on the color wheel and share a common color, like blue, blue-green and green. Monochromatic refers to using a single color in different tints and shades. The document provides assignments to create a color wheel labeling complements and analogues, and a monochromatic painting.

2. • complementary colors - Colors that are directly
opposite each other on the color wheel, such as red and green, blue and
orange, and violet and yellow. When complements are mixed together
they form the neutral colors of brown or gray. Note that this term is
spelled differently than the word "complimentary," which means gift.

colors in each

5. • analogous colors - Any two or more colors
that are next to each other on the color wheel and are closely
related. For example, blue, blue-green, and green all have the
color blue in common. Families of analogous colors include the
warm colors (red, orange and yellow) and the cool colors (green,
blue and violet). Analogous colors are sometimes referred to as
adjacent colors.

7. • monochromatic - Consisting of only a single color or hue;
may include its tints and shades.
