Color theory is anything that involves color. Color is the property possessed by an object producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light. There are many different colors and types of colors. Some different colors are blue, green, and red. Primary colors are yellow, red, and blue. Secondary colors are green, violet (purple), and orange. Tertiary colors are colors that are produced by mixing equal parts primary and secondary colors. Examples of tertiary colors are yellow-green, blue-green, and red-violet. Complementary colors are colors directly across of each other on the color on the color wheel. Examples of complementary colors are yellow and violet, blue and orange, and red and green. Analogous colors are three to five colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. Examples of analogous colors are red, red-orange, orange, yellow-orange, and yellow. Monochromatic is different shades of one color. Warm colors are red, red-orange, orange, yellow-orange, yellow, and yellow-green. Cool colors are green, blue-green, blue, blue-violet, violet, and red-violet. Split-complementary colors are variation of complementary colors using the two colors adjacent to its complementary. Examples of split-complementary colors are blue, red-orange, and yellow-orange. “There are three basic categories of color theory that are logical and useful : The color wheel, color harmony, and the context of how colors are used.” says Colormatters.com. “Color theory is both the science and art of color.” says Kris Decker. “With colors you can set a mood, attract attention, or make a statement.” says Tigercolor.com.
