Renee Williams-Campbell

works.
◦ The terms relating to colour are
1. Colourimeter,
2. Prism,
3. Value,
4. Intensity,
5. Hue,
6. Saturation,
7. Neutrals,
8. Tints,
9. Shades and

Colorimeter
◦A colorimeter is a device used in
colorimetry that measures the
absorbance of particular
wavelengths of light by a
specific solution.
Prism
◦A prism is a transparent solid
body(glass), often having
triangular bases, used for
dispersing light into a spectrum
or for reflecting rays of light.
◦The white light goes in and out
comes rainbow colours.
Value
◦A value in relation to
colour is the lightness or
darkness or brightness of
a colour.
Intensity
Intensity refers to the
brightness or dullness of
a colour or hue.
Brightness: refers to the
intensity of a color. How
bright or dull is that
color?
Hue
Hue is the name given
to a colour such as red
or blue. It is the purest
or brightest form of a
colour.
Saturation
Saturation is the amount of
white light mixed with a
colour.
High-saturation colors, such as
the circle on the left, contain
little or no white light.
Brightness refers to intensity,
distinguished by the amount of
shading mixed with the hue.
Neutrals
Neutral colours can be defined
as those colours to which you
can't give a definite
colour name. Neutrals, in this
instance, means lacking or

White, Black and Grey are classed
as neutrals and are the opposite of
a pure hue.
Tints, Tones, Shades
The addition of white to a
colour or hue is called a tint.
The addition of black to a
colour is called a shade.
The addition of grey to a
