>Colour is effected by the condition that it's in
>Colour theory was invented for us to understand colour.
- Johannes Itten - 'The art of colour'
>Primary colours/pigments
>Complimentary - visual opposites
- If they're mixed - they cancel each other out
- neutral grey brown
- absence of colour
>Spectral colour
- The eye can't see the difference between spectral yellow and some combinations of red and green
--Must remember:
RGB - FOR DIGITAL/SCREEN
CMYK - PRINTING
>Subtractive colour mode - CMYK - when mixed - reduces colours - black - PHYSICAL
>Additive colour mode - RGB - deal with light - increase - white light - OPTICAL
