The three Primary Colors are red, yellow and blue for
pigment mixing, and red, green and blue for light generated colors. Secondary
colors are made when two primaries are mixed, red and blue= violet. Tertiary
colors are created when a secondary and primary mix. With additive color, the
primaries create white when mixed, it works with light, while subtractive color
is involved with pigment. Color can change how we view an image, and inspire
different emotions depending on the artist’s decision of palette. Colors change
when relative to another, for example a desaturated green will look more
vibrant when in a red environment (and looks more naturally so). Greyscale
images are when an image is only using black, white and the greys in between to
render. Monotone is when black, white and a hue is used. Compliments are colors
opposite on the color wheel and often provide a stark contrast.
