An Overview Of The Advanced Color Theory

By Patty Goff


The color theory is an extremely important aspect to any student who is taking up an arts course like graphic design or fine arts. Mixing colors and using them is one of the things that they will be doing in both their school lives and their work which is why this has to be taught. The entire lesson is divided into two parts namely the basic and the advanced color theory.

Just to give an idea for those who do not know, the basics would deal with the Color wheel that was first coined by Sir Isaac Newton. Basically, the wheel shows the different kinds of mixes of shades that would stem out from mixing the primary colors. The primary colors are red, yellow and blue and every other color is just a mix of these three.

After one has already finished with the basics, one will now learn about the details and the measurements of colors. Basically, he will be learning about the different types of shades as well as how to measure them. Now there are actually five basic concepts that he would be learning about namely the hue, chroma, saturation, value, and the luminance.

Now on the top of the list of concepts to learn, there would be the hue. The the three primary colors that were mentioned above can be distinguished by measurement of hue. The hue is actually just the amount of light that is emitted from colors and it measures the strength of these colors.

The second concept that would be taught to the students would be the chroma which measures how colorful a pigment is. Now this is strongly related to the hue because it actually depends on how strong the hue is. Now if one would say that the hue is weak in a particular color, then it is known to be more colorful and vice versa.

The third concept to learn about would be saturation which measures the intensity of a pigment. When one would say intensity, he would be the strength of its brightness and how much it would affect the eyes. Colors that are bright like red, yellow, and other mixes with these are known to have high saturation.

After that, one will then be taught about value. Now the value actually measures brightness as a whole. If one pigment is bright, then it possesses a high value level as compared to one that is dark.

The final concept that would be taught is the concept of luminance. Now the measurement of luminance is actually connected to the value and the saturation except the luminance deals a lot with mathematical formulas with its measurements. The luminance is measured in intensity per unit and can be calculated by getting the average of a few colors.

So if one is in a science of art course, he will definitely be learning about these theories. He will first be starting from the basic theories of colors and then will go on to the more advanced ones. He will discover how useful these advanced techniques really are.
