NOTE

THE STUDY OF COLOURS

Color is the visual perception resulting from the interaction of light with the human eye, typically categorized into different hues such as red, blue, and green.

Classes of color

Classes of color include:

  1. Primary Colors: These are fundamental colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors. In traditional color theory, primary colors are red, blue, and yellow.
  2. Secondary Colors: These are created by mixing two primary colors in equal amounts. The secondary colors are orange (red + yellow), green (blue + yellow), and purple (blue + red).
  3. Tertiary Colors: These are created by mixing a primary color with a secondary color. Examples include red-orange, yellow-green, and blue-violet.

Sources of color

Sources of color include:

  1. Natural Sources: Sunlight is the primary natural source of color. Objects reflect or absorb certain wavelengths of light, which results in the perception of color. For example, a red apple reflects red wavelengths of light and absorbs others.
  2. Artificial Sources: Artificial light sources like LED bulbs, fluorescent lights, and incandescent bulbs emit specific wavelengths of light, contributing to the perception of color.
  3. Pigments: Pigments are substances that give color to materials. They can be derived from natural sources like plants, minerals, and animals, or they can be synthetic. Pigments are often used in paints, dyes, and inks to create various colors.

Uses of color

The uses of color are diverse and include:

  1. Colors are used in signage, traffic lights, and visual alerts to convey information quickly and effectively.
  2. In art, design, and fashion, color is used to create visual appeal, evoke emotions, and express creativity.
  3. Color psychology explores how different colors can affect mood, behavior, and perception. For example, warm colors like red and yellow can evoke feelings of energy and passion, while cool colors like blue and green can induce calmness and relaxation.
  4. Color coding is widely used in organization systems, such as filing systems, maps, and educational materials, to categorize and differentiate information.
