Colour Theory - Part 2


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
