- The property of colors by which they can be perceived as ranging from red to yellow,green and blue,determined by the wavelength of the light.
- Refers to the pure color in painting color theory~one without tint and shade.
Value~
- Lightness or darkness of color.
- Shadows, darkness, contrasts and light.
Saturation~
- The amount of brightness/purity of a hue.
- Higher saturation = less white
Lower saturation = more white - Also known as chroma.
Secondary color~
- Mixing two primary color in equal proportions.
- cyan (a mixture of blue and green), magenta (a mixture of blue and red), and yellow (a mixture of green and red).
- Each secondary color is also the complementary color of the primary color whose wavelength it does not contain.
Tertiary color~
- Mixing either one primary color with one secondary color OR two secondary color.
RGB or CMY primary, secondary, and tertiary colors
Traditional painting (RYB)
cyan (●) + blue (●) = azure (●) blue (●) + magenta (●) = violet (●) magenta (●) + red (●) = rose (●) red (●) + yellow (●) = orange (●) yellow (●) + green (●) = chartreuse (●) green (●) + cyan (●) = spring green (●)
Analogous color~
- Colors which are related to each other.
- With one being the dominant color, which tends to be a primary or secondary color, and two on either side complimenting, which tend to be tertiary.
- Example : The Violet (a secondary color) has been made by mixing red and blue (both primary colors).
Tint~
- Mixture of color with white, which increases lightness.

Shade~
- Mixture of color with black, which reduces brightness.
Monochromatic color~
- Derived from a single base hue, and extended using its shades, tones and tints.

- Appear more active in a painting.
- Seems arouse or stimulate the viewer
