Color Writing Assignment

Color

Color can be used in endless ways to convey ideas, create emphasis, inspire feeling and more. There are three primary colors,one set of three are used in pigment(subtractive color) and another set of three are used for light(additive color). Pigment uses Red Yellow and Blue, and light uses Red Green and Blue. You can find different color combinations using the color wheel. Complimentary colors are two colors opposite each other, like red and green. The mix of two primary colors is a secondary color, and the mix of a secondary color and a primary color that is next to it on the color wheel is a tertiary color. Color can effect our perception by Putting emphasis on certain parts of an object/image, create emotions associated with a color, and convey ideas depicted in the object/image. Colors can effect each other by putting emphasis on one another, or making each other not stand out depending on how different the colors are from each other.
