COLOUR THEORY - PART 2
SUBJECTIVE COLOUR - COLOUR AND CONTRAST
Colour is contextual
- Contrast of tone - Monochrome - light and dark values
- Contrast of hue - distance between hues in a colour wheel - contrast - further away from the colour wheel = higher contrast.
- Contrast of saturation - light and dark values and their relative saturations
- Contrast of exstension - proportional field sizes in relation to the visual weight of a colour
- Contrast of temperature - 'warm' or 'cool'
- Complimentary contrast - perceptual opposites - complimentary colours - harmony and discord
- Simultaneous contrast - All of the colours combined - colours appear to shift and change - illusions
