color theory proctored exam questions and correct
answers, verified solution.
achromatic gray
"without color" the term applies to black, white and grays made by combining black and
white. have no hue and no saturation: only value
Additive color
color seen as light: additive color primaries are red, green and blue. When they are
combined the result is white light
Afterimage
a common optical effect in which an additional color seems to appear at the edge of an
observed color. when a color is placed against an achromatic background, its
afterimage will be the color's complement.
analogous
analogous hues lie adjacent to each other on the spectrum
bridge tones
bridge tones provide a transition between disparate colors.
chromatic darks
these are dark chromatic grays that have discernible temperature and hue
chromatic grays
chromatic gray have relatively low saturation but still have discernible hue and
temperature
color harmony
color harmony is the character of the interrelationship in a group of colors. Color
harmonies can be concordant or discordant, depending upon the relative cohesiveness
of the color grouping
color interaction
a color's quality is dependent upon its context because colors interact with each other
where they meet
color symbolism
color symbolism is based upon automatic association attached to particular colors or
color combination that are learned and largely culturally determined .
color temperature
when the hue continuum is represented as a circle, colors can be divided into cool and
warm zones. the association of yellows, reds, oranges and yellow-greens with warmth,
and violets, blue, and blue-green with coolness is probably based on our physical
experience in a world of fire and ice. color temperature, like all aspects of color, is
relative and continues upon visual context.
color wheel
the color wheel is any circular of the hue continuum and has been used for centuries by
color theorists. in addition, the wheel is separated into four rings that indicate four levels
of saturation: prismatic color, muted color, chromatic gray and achromatic gray.
