Color Study
What is Color ?
Color is a microconsciousness. Color help us
to understand the world around us. Color
is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories. It
is the aspect of things caused by different qualities of light. Just how we
look at a scene, our visual nerves register color in terms of the attributes of
color.
Color is an non-verbal
communication. Color can influence our
emotions, our action and how we respond to various people, things or
ideas. Color also studied will impact our daily lives. Each color have their
own meanings.
Too see color , we should have
light. Our eyes only see the colors bounce off or reflected.
Different colors have different
wavelengths. For example, the longest wavelength of light human can see is red,
the shortest is violet.
History of Color
The first person who split white
light into spectral colors with a prism was Italian priest , Francesco Maria
Grimaldi.
Isaac Newton introduced the term color
spectrum in his '' New Theory about Light and Colors''. He was the first to
understand the rainbow. He started his
experiments on his '' Phenomenon of Colors''. He discovered colors are in the
light. The light people see as white is the mixture of all colors. Isaac Newton
was the first who invented Color Wheel.
After the century of Newton, Johann Wolfgang Goethe began studying
psychological effects of colors. He noticed the feelings of colors and effects.
For example, blue gives a feeling of coolness and yellow as warming effects.
Color Theory
There are three basic color theory that are logical and
useful :The color wheel, color harmony, and the context of how colors are used. If color theory is simplified, it can be broken down into 3
parts - The color wheel, color value, and color schemes. Each part of color
theory builds on the
previous.
Color theories create a logical structure for color. For
example, if we have an assortment of fruits and vegetables, we can organize
them by color and place them on a circle that shows the colors in relation to
each other.
These are the list of Color Theory :
§ Primary color,
Secondary color, Tertiary color & Color Wheel
§ Warm color &
Cool color
§ Achromatic color
& Monochromatic color
§ Tints, Tones &
Shades
§ Color Harmony
Color Properties
Color Wheel
Color Wheel is a circle with different colored
sectors used to show the relationship between colors. Their colors are arranged
according to their chromatic relationship.
It positioned primary hues equally with each other.
Secondary colors and tertiary colors are produced along the combination of
primary color.
Primary Color
Primary Color are the three
common colors from Color Wheel. Thus Blue,
Red and Yellow. Primary Colors
are a set of colors that can be mixed or combined to produce other range of
useful colors. They mixed each other to produce Secondary Color and Tertiary
Color.
Secondary Color
We get Secondary Color by mixing two primary color
with equal proportions.
§ Red + Blue = Violet
§ Blue + Yellow = Green
§ Yellow + Red = Orange
Tertiary Color
Tertiary Color is produced when we mixed either one of
Primary Color with Secondary Color equally. And then produce a name by combine
the color
For example, we get Red Violet by combine Red
and Violet.
Color Harmonious
To express feeling of cold or
remoteness.
Represents a satisfying balance or unity of colors.
Combinations
of color that exist in harmony that are pleasing to eye.
Triad
Triad colors are three colors that equally spaced from
one another, It can be seen by creating an equilateral triangle on the color
wheel.
Tetrad
Tetrad color scheme uses four colors arranged into two
complementary pairs. It is a combinations made up of four hues equal distance
from one another, forming a square or rectangle on the color wheel.
Analogous
Analogous
colors are any three colors which are side by side on a 12 part color wheel,
such as yellow-green, yellow, and yellow-orange. Usually one of the three
colors predominates. They are next to each other on the color wheel.
Split Complementary
The split-complementary color scheme is a
variation of the complementary color scheme. This color scheme has the same
strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but has less tension.
Complementary
Complementary colors
are colors that are opposite each other on
the color wheel. The high contrast of complementary
colors creates a vibrant look.
Week 3
Packaging 1
Above is the
color scheme that I found on a V-soy Multi-Grain drink packaging. The Color
Scheme founded are Complementary, Split- Complementary and Neutral.
Packaging 2
Above is the color scheme that I found on a V-soy Multi-Grain drink packaging. The Color Scheme founded are Complementary, Split- Complementary and Neutral.
Week 4
Achromatic Color
I
divided it into 9 tones when produce Achromatic Colors. I color it start with
white color and mix with black colors by increase the percentage of black
color.
Monochromatic Color
Monochromatic color are derived from a single base hue and
extended using its shades, tones and tints.
Tints are achieved by adding white to a single
hue color
Shades

Week 5
Task 1
Based on Achromatic Color
6 tones
Task 2
Based on Monochromatic Color
6 tones
Color Temperature
Colors can
fall into one of two groups, warm or cool colors.
A warm color , red , yellow, orange is one that gives the viewer a sense
of warmth, energy, or heat, such as fire, sunset.
A cool color , blue ,green, purple is a color that gives a sense of
coolness, cold, or stillness, such as clear blue sky, forest.

Task 3
Final Project
Self-Personality painting
Rationale
In my final project, i drew a man and an eagle as
my main concept and theme which i believe can bring out my identity through
color combination. I applied primary color and neutral color on my final
project. i used Red, Blue, Yellow, mixed them in order to get other Secondary
Color to made my Final Project more attractive.
Start from the men, i drew him posing by references
because i am a person who always brainstorming and try to think. The men in the
project is always think about ideas and innovation. His hair is colored with
blue. Blue represents calm and quiet. To think for new ideas, i always need to
be concentrate and think in a quiet environment. The green color at the men
means freshness and relaxtion. I don't like to stay in a stress environment.
The red color represent danger, i applied it less because i seldom get angry.
The men t-shirt are colored with black and blue. At here blue represent
reliable and trustable. Black represent independent and strong-willed. Those
color are came from back. It means i am about to learn to be an independent and
reliable person.
For the eagle, i colored it with purple, blue and
yellow. Eagle are the symbolism of freedom and victory. I am a person who
prefer freedom and victory. At here, yellow means caution. I always be careful
and think twice when do something. The blue represent tranquillity. I mixed
yellow for cheerfulness. It became green, means relax. I mixed both color on
the wing because i am a person always enjoy in a relaxation environment.
