- can be described as the property that

gives color its name - blue, res, orange,

pink, etc. – the name or the color
identity, that is, by which it is
distinguished in the variable spectrum.
Neither white nor black nor the gradation
between them have the property of hue;
since white is the total reflection of all
potential hues, while black, in theory,
reflects none at all.
 Can be warm or cool.
 Warm colors are: red, orange, yellow-
orange, red-orange and yellow.
 -these colors are associated with
cheerfulness, aggressiveness, excitement,
and comfort

 Cool colors are retreating colors like: blue,

blue –green, green-violet and blue violet.
 -these colors are associated with
calmness, restfulness, and depression.
- is the term for describing the relative
lightness or darkness or a color. White
represents the highest value while black
has the lowest. They are also called
notan or tones. When you look at an
object, you will observe the play of
values on its surface
 The part exposed to more light is light, and that
which less exposed appears dark. Every hue may
be lightened almost to white or darkened almost to
black, that is raised or lowered in value.

 It is the value that gives solidity, distance, and

illusion of depth

 The lightest and the darkest colors are called

extremes.
 The dimension of color, which expresses
the taste, and refinement of the color
worker, is the intensity of chroma, which
is sometimes termed as the saturation

 Saturation refers to the relative purity of

hues in comparison to their appearance
in the spectrum. If the color seems to be
the reflection in its most vivid form of
spectrum hue,
 it is said to be of high saturation. If on the
other hand, the quality of hue can be
scarcely be distinguished- if the color,
that is, is said to be neutral,- it is said to
be low saturation

Intensity or chroma simply means the

brightness or dullness d a color
 Harmony- the pleading and consistent
arrangement of colors

The 2 types of harmonies of related colors:

1. Monochromatic – one color is used and

where he color is extended into its tints
value above the normal and shades
values below the normal.
2. Analogous harmony – choosing a color, some
other colors are selected in which the first color
chosen is selected.

 Complementary Harmony – combination of

two opposite colors in the color chart together
with their values and intensities

 Double complementary Harmony – three

colors, together with their values and intensities,
are involved
 Double-split Complementary
Harmony – combination of 2 sets of
split –complimentaries that lie directly
opposite each other

 Triad – three colors, together with their

valuesand intensities, are used.
 In art, the impression of three-
dimensional space, whish is
convincingly conveyed on a two-
dimensional surface such as a canvas,
is what perspective is.

 Based on an elementary laws of optics

 Linear perspective – applies t the way in whish
objects appear to grow smaller as they recede in
the distance, the two rails appearing to grow
smaller as they recede in distance.

 Aerial perspective – applies to the atmosphere’s

effect on the appearance of objet in relation to
their proximity, like the perceived color of distant
mountain.
 Itis sometimes called the Jaw of
relationships

 In the visual arts, it refers to the pleasing

relationship among the several elements
of arts.
