The document discusses basic color theory including the color wheel, primary and secondary colors, and the three aspects of hue, saturation, and value that define color. It also outlines different color schemes that can be used in design including monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split-complementary, triadic, and tetradic schemes which are created using different combinations and placements of colors on the color wheel.

2. Basic Colors Theory
Color Wheel
primary colors - red, blue, and yellow
secondary colors - violet, orange, and green

3. Color consists of three main integral parts:
1. Hue - refers to a color having full saturation
2. Saturation - defines the brilliance and intensity of a color
3. Value - refers to the lightness or darkness of a color.

4. •Shade (darkness)
•Tint (lightness)
•Tone (richness)

6. Creating color schemes
Color Formula/Color Harmony
Monochromatic - uses one color or hue

8. Analogous - uses colors that are next to each other on the
wheel.

10. Complementary - are opposite each other on the wheel.

12. Split-complementary - uses the colors on either side of the
complement.

14. Triadic - uses three colors that are evenly spaced, forming a
perfect triangle on the wheel.

16. Tetradic - form a rectangle on the wheel, using not one but two
complementary color pairs.
