In this unit we studied and analyzed the concept of color theory. In terms of pigment generated colors, Red, Yellow, and Blue are the three primary colors. In terms of light generated colors, Red, Blue, and Green are the primary colors. Secondary colors are created when primary colors are mixed with one another: for example, mixing blue and yellow creates green. Tertiary colors are created by mixing primary colors with secondary colors: for example, red-orange or blue green. In an aditive color model, the three primary colors of light overlap to create white. In a pigment generated subtractive color model, the three primary colors overlap to create black. Color has very intriguing effects on human psychology and the way we perceive things. For example, the color blue has a tendency to take away one's appetite/hunger, while the color pink tends to convey a sense of soothing tranquility. We learned that colors can
change in appearance in relation to one another. For example, if the color red is next to white, it appears more vivid and intense than if it were
displayed next to a different color. We also learned that a
greyscale image is one that is made up of only black and white, while a
monotone image has tints and shades of one color.
