The document discusses the three dimensions of color: hue, value, and intensity. It defines hue as the name of the color, value as the lightness or darkness, and intensity as the brightness or dullness. The color wheel is presented as a guide for choosing and combining colors, with primary, secondary, and intermediate hues. Warm colors like red and yellow are described as appearing hot, while cool colors like blue appear calming. Different color schemes are outlined including monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split-complementary, triad, and accented neutral.

13. THE COLOR WHEEL CAN BE DIVIDED INTO WARM AND COOL COLORS

14. WARM COLORS Appear hot like the sun or like fire Give feelings of gaiety, activity or cheerfulness Appear to advance-they make body look larger Can give a nervous impression if overdone

15. COOL COLORS Remind us of water or sky Give feelings of quietness or restfulness Appear to recede and make body look smaller Can be depressing if overdone

16. MONOCHROMATIC COLOR SCHEME This is a one-color plan that uses different tints, shades and intensities of the color BLUE

17. ANALOGOUS COLOR SCHEME This color scheme uses related, or neighboring colors on the color wheel with varying values and intensities of the colors.

18. COMPLEMENTARY COLOR SCHEME This color scheme uses opposite hues on the color wheel. These colors are across from each other on the wheel and have great contrast.

19. SPLIT-COMPLEMENTARY COLOR SCHEME This color scheme uses three colors, one color with the two colors on each side of its complement. VIOLET

20. TRIAD COLOR SCHEME This color scheme combines three colors equidistant on the color wheel and has a great deal of contrast.

21. ACCENTED NEUTRAL COLOR SCHEME This color scheme combines white, black, gray or sometimes beige with a bright color accent.

22. All colors are beautiful, depending on personal taste. If not used wisely or combined well, color can cause apparel to look too gaudy or very drab. Harmony results when hues, values and intensities are combined in a pleasing way.
