lets learn about color theory!! 🌈
(mostly just color schemes/combinations)
complimentary colors https://twitter.com/starsdaveed/status/1309263583440711687
monochromatic colors -
a color scheme that consists of one hue along with its tints and shades
warm colors -
colors that emit a warm feeling, such as red, orange, yellow, red-orange, yellow-orange, etc.
cool colors -
colors that emit a cool feeling, such as blue, violet/purple, green, blue-green, blue-violet, etc.
tints -
light values of a hue, usually created by adding white to a color (if paint) or pressing lightly on the paper (colored pencil)
shades -
dark values of a hue, usually created by adding black (or the complimentary color) to a color (if paint) or pressing hard on the paper (colored pencil)
analogous colors -
colors that are next to each other on the color wheel
these are: violet, red-violet, and red as well as red-orange, orange, and yellow-orange, etc.
(sorry im tired of making the demmy examples fdshfj)
split complimentary colors -
one primary color + the two analogous colors of its compliment
double split complimentary colors -
the two analogous colors of two complimentary colors (this ones hard to explain lol hsghdgj)
neutral colors -
grey, white, black, brown, beige, tan, etc.
these colors are made by mixing all three of the primary colors together OR mixing two complimentary colors
secondary colors -
colors made from mixing two primary colors
violet, orange, and green
intermediate colors -
also known as tertiary colors
colors made by mixing a primary color and a secondary color adjacent to each other on the color wheel
these are: red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, & red-violet
polychromatic color scheme -
using a bit of every color, usually at full vibrancy
cant find any good examples but its pretty self explanatory
accented neutral color scheme -
using the neutral colors + another color
