In this training, you will go over color terminology and relationship to understand how colors interact with each other. This training will help you familiarize yourself with the basic relations of colors by placing them creatively in a re-invented color chart of your choice after studying the basic layout of the wheel.<\/p>\n Step One: Study the Components of the Color Wheel<\/strong><\/p>\n Above are the basic hues of a color wheel. A. hue<\/strong> is another word for color but refers to it more specifically as the pure state of the color without any tinting or shading.<\/p>\n The primary colors<\/strong> are what you typically would start out with. They are red, yellow, and blue. When primary colors are mixed together they make the secondary colors<\/strong> (orange, green, and purple). When you mix a secondary and a primary color you get tertiary colors<\/strong> (red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red-violet).<\/p>\n Now that we have looked at what the hues are we will take a look at ways the hue is manipulated. There are three main ways that you can change the hue: tint, tone, and shade.<\/p>\n A tint<\/strong> will make the color look brighter by adding more white, eventually adding 100% tint would turn your color white.\u00a0 A tone<\/b><\/span>\u00a0will mute your color or dull it, and this is done by adding gray. A shade<\/strong> will darken your hue. It is different from tone because it brings the color closer to black and does not have a mixture of white like gray does. Take a look below at how the color red changes as we add a tint, tone, and shade.<\/p>\n Make note that this is not the only type of color wheel that exists. There are different primary colors of light and pigment<\/strong>, they are additive<\/strong> and subtractive<\/strong> colors respectively. Each produces varying secondary colors of their own. Different color wheels and slightly different color theory is required for different formats of media such as lighting, print, and digital. You can see the example image below for what I am referring to. We are using the wheel above for this training because it is the most utilized for the work we do here in the office for design projects.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sites.la.utexas.edu\/kb\/files\/2020\/05\/27B97CEC-AAA5-4CEC-847C-98711236FA32-1.png\")
