So a monochromatic color scheme is made up of one color and it’s shades and tints.Īnalogous colors are colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. Monochromatic literally means “one” (mono) “color” (chroma). Notice that the proper way to refer to tertiary colors is by listing the primary color first and the secondary color, second.Ĭolor schemes are ways that artists use colors together in an intelligent way – they look like they are meant to “go together.” There are six tertiary colors- red-purple, red-orange, blue-green, yellow-green, blue-purple, and yellow-orange. Tertiary colors are created by mixing equal parts of a secondary color and a primary color together. Secondary colors are created by mixing equal parts of any two primary colors. The secondary colors are orange, green, and purple. Secondly, all other colors found on the color wheel can be created by mixing primary colors together. In other words, primary colors can only be created through the use of natural pigments. First, no two colors can be mixed to create a primary color. They are called primary for a couple of reasons. The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. The color wheel is made up of three different types of colors-Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary. Some remember it by the acronym ROY-G-BIV. If you follow around the color wheel, you will find the same order of the color spectrum- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo(blue-violet), and violet. The color wheel was developed by Sir Isaac Newton by taking the color spectrum and bending it into a circle. Understanding each section of color theory fully, will help you better understand the importance of Color in the creation of art. Each part of color theory builds on the previous. If color theory is simplified, it can be broken down into 3 parts - The Color Wheel, Value, and Color Schemes (Relationships).
Over many years, artists and scientists together have created general theories about how colors work together in art.
