The Color Wheel
PRIMARY COLORS- Red, Yellow, and Blue-These colors cannot be made by mixing any other colors. They are the three main colors used to mix all the others.

SECONDARY COLORS-Orange, Violet, and Green- These colors are made by mixing two primary colors together Red+Blue=Violet, Blue+Yellow=Green, Yellow+Red= Orange

TERTIARY COLORS- Yellow-green, Blue-green, Blue-violet, Red-violet, Red-orange, and Yellow-orange—These colors are made by mixing a primary with a secondary. Red+orange= Red-orange, etc.

NEUTRAL COLORS- Black, White, Brown, and Grey- Neutrals are not true colors. The neutral brown can be made by mixing all three primaries, or by mixing two complements together. Grey can be made by mixing black and white together.


 * Color Schemes**

Complementary-colors that are opposite one another on the color wheel, for example, red and green or yellow and purple

Warm-colors that suggest warmth, for example, yellow, orange, red, yellow-green, and red-violet suggest the hot sun, fire, sunburn, or a desert landscape

Cool-colors that suggest coolness, for example, blue, violet, blue-green, blue-violet, and most pastels suggest a cool poll or ocean, a cool blue sky, ice, or a cold winter day.

Monochromatic-many tints and shades of one color

Bright and Dull-bright color is pure color that has not been mixed with it’s compliment or a neutral. Dull color is color that has been mixed with it’s compliment or a neutral.

Triadic- any three colors that are an equal distance from one another on the color wheel, for example, orange, violet, and green

Neutral- black, grey, white, and brown

Analogous- colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, for example, re, red-violet, and blue violet.

= = =Assignment - 200 points= Create a series of 3 small bicycle design paintings with 1" taped borders. One each in the following categories:

1. Monochromatic (at least 8 similar colors all with the same hue). Go to http://colorschemedesigner.com/ and select the color scheme you wish to use. Print this out to work from (you must turn this in on top of your painting so I can see what you worked from)... Use traces of black and white paint to match the colors from your swatch. You should also consider using trace amounts of the color opposite on the color wheel to create the appropriate mixtures. Colors tend to be richer this way.

2. Complementary Color Scheme (at least 6 of each of the 2 complementary colors) Go to [|http://www.humboldt.edu/~rq1/colorwheel/wheelfla/t.swf] and select the color scheme you wish to use. Print this out to work from... (you must turn this in on top of your painting so I can see what you worked from). Use traces of black and white paint to match the colors from your swatch. You should also consider using trace amounts of the color opposite on the color wheel to create the appropriate mixtures. Colors tend to be richer this way.

3. Analogous Color Scheme (at least 6 of each of the three analogous colors) Go to [|http://www.humboldt.edu/~rq1/colorwheel/wheelfla/t.swf] and select the color scheme you wish to use. Print this out to work from..(you must turn this in on top of your painting so I can see what you worked from).Use traces of black and white paint to match the colors from your swatch. You should also consider using trace amounts of the color opposite on the color wheel to create the appropriate mixtures. Colors tend to be richer this way.
