Colour theory

Colour theory is a chart that visually shows  the relationships between colour's




THE COLOUR WHEEL

The colour wheel is a chart designed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666  showing  how to combine colour's.



















Primary colour's- Red, Blue and Yellow = colour's that cannot be made by mixing other colour's.

Secondary colour's- green, orange and purple= colours made by mixing primary colours together

Tertiary colour's- either mixing one primary colour with one secondary colour or mixing two secondary colour's.


Monochromatic- The monochromatic color scheme uses variations in lightness and saturation of a single colour.






















Analogous- Colours that are adjacent to eachother on the colour wheel




complimentary-Colour's opposite to each other on the colour wheel.







Achromatic- The word means without colour. In the colour scheme world this would be a chart showing the different shades of black to white.
