Lecture 11: Colour Theory 2

Subjective colour= colour and contrast
This is the idea of something being a colour therefore it becomes problematic

ADDITIVE COLOUR= LIGHT
RGD primaries; CRT Monitors

SUBTRACTIVE COLOUR 
CMY primaries; film; prints 

SUBJECTIVE COLOUR
Johannes Itten- The Art Of Colour
Josef Albers- Interaction Of Colour- mixing of pigments and inks that were created before colour t.v 

Chromatic value= hue + tone + saturation

CONTRAST OF HUE
Greater the distance between hues on a colour wheel.
Isolated colour on white and black backgrounds give more readable and unreadable colours 

SATURATION
Juxtaposition of light and dark values and relative saturation.
The ways we define colour.

CONTRAST OF EXTENSION
Yellow+violet= different amount of colour available in any field.
Dark and bright- the brighter the colour the more noticeable

CONTRAST OF TEMPERATURE
Physiological sense that blue is a cool colour

COMPLEMENTARY CONTRAST
High contrast of black and white.
When colours go together it is known as colour harmonies

SIMULTANIOUS CONTRAST
Formed when boundaries between colour perceptions
