COP 1 Lecture 10 - Colour Theory Part 2

- Chromatic Value = Hue + Tone + Saturation

- 7 contrasts of problems we have when we begin to mix colours - Johannes Itten

1. Contrast of tone - monochromatic, differentiate between areas of light and dark

2. Contrast of hue - juxtaposed against another colour

3. Contrast of saturation - juxtaposition of light and dark in relation to saturation

4. Contrast of extension - assigning proportional field sizes in relation to the visual weight of colour

5. Contrast of temperature - certain warm values and cool values, optical illusion 


6. Complimentary contrast - complimentary colours on a colour wheel, red and green painful to look at
