An understanding of colour theory is basic in design work.
It is important to know which colours work well with others and how colour influences the mood of a design by appealing to emotions, evoking feelings, or stirring memories.
In this unit we review the basics of colour. To do this we investigate:
• how colour is perceived by the eye
• reflective and emitted light
• making a colour wheel in Illustrator
• primary, secondary and tertiary colours
• additive and subtractive colour and their relation to RGB and CYMK colours
• colour temperature
• tone, shade and tint
• colour combination schemes: complementary, analogous, triad, split-complementary, tetratic and square
• colour moods.
