Hi, my name is Madison Janney.
In this video we will be introducing you to
color.
We will begin by discussing the different
types of colors, how colors are made, and
finish with words to describe colors.
First up is color vocabulary.
There are three different types of colors.
The first two are Primary and Secondary colors.
The Primary colors are Red, Yellow, and Blue.
They are the colors from which all other colors
are made.
Secondary colors are Green, Violet, and Orange.
Secondary colors are made by mixing two Primary
colors together.
All colors can be classified under two categories:
Warm and Cool colors.
Warm colors are the family of colors that
includes Reds, Yellows, and Oranges.
Cool colors are the family of colors that
include Greens, Blues, and Violets.
The Primary and Secondary color wheel includes
the Primary colors (Red, Blue, and yellow),
and the Secondary colors (Green, Violet, and
Orange).
The Secondary colors are made by mixing Primary
colors.
Green is made by mixing the Primary colors
Blue and Yellow equally.
Violet is made by mixing the Primary colors
Blue and Red equally.
Orange is made by mixing the Primary colors
Yellow and Red equally.
Yellow plus Blue equals Green.
Red plus Yellow equals Orange.
Red plus Blue equals Violet.
Tertiary colors are combinations of Primary
and Secondary colors.
The six Tertiary colors include: Red-Orange
(combination of Red and Orange), Yellow-Orange
(combination of Orange and Yellow), Yellow-Green
(combination of Yellow and Green), Blue-Green
(combination of Blue and Green), Blue-Violet
(combination of Blue and Violet), Red-Violet
(a combination of Red and Violet).
Next we are going to look at a few vocabulary
words that can be used to describe colors.
Value is the lightness or darkness of a color.
Tint is a color with white mixed in to make
a light value of that color.
Hue is another word for color.
Shade is a color mixed with black to create
a dark value of that color.
