The document discusses color theory and different color schemes. It explains that primary colors are yellow, red, and blue, and secondary colors are orange, violet, and green which are made by mixing two primary colors. Tertiary colors mix a primary and secondary color. It describes three color schemes - complementary uses opposite colors on the wheel, analogous uses adjacent colors, and monochromatic uses tints and shades of one color.

- 2. What does color theory mean? Color Theory is a basic set of rules that guide color mixing and help explain the visual impacts of colors and combinations.
- 4. Primary Colors • Yellow, Red, and Blue are known as the “Primary Colors” • All other colors on the color wheel come from mixing these three colors. “Can’t Mix for Primaries”
- 5. Secondary Colors • Orange,Violet, and Green are called the “Secondary Colors” • If you mixed TWO of the primary colors together you get a Secondary (2) color.
- 6. Tertiary Colors • These are also called “Intermediate Colors” • Tertiary colors are created when you mix ONE primary color with ONE secondary color. • When naming them, always start with the primary color followed by the secondary.
- 7. Now that we know all of the colors on our color wheel. . . Color Theory now helps us organize them into different combinations/ schemes.
- 8. Complementary Color Scheme These are colors that are directly across from each other on the color wheel. The strong contrast between the two colors makes for a successful combination. Blue & Orange Yellow & Violet Red & Green “Complementary in Every Way”
- 9. Analogous Color Scheme The analogous color scheme is a combination of three colors located right next to each other on the color wheel.
- 10. Monochromatic Color Scheme This color scheme is made up of tints and shades of the same color. “Monochromatic”
