The Secrets Of Colour Matching
First to understand;-
Primary Colours: Red, yellow, and blue are the foundation of all other colours.
Secondary Colours: Created by mixing two primary colours (e.g., orange, green, violet).
Tertiary Colours: Created by mixing a primary and a secondary colour.
Second to understand;-
•Hue: The pure colour (e.g., red, blue, green).
•Saturation: The intensity or purity of a colour (how vibrant or muted it is).
•Value: The lightness or darkness of a colour.
Third to understand;-
Complementary Colours:
Colours opposite each other on the colour wheel (e.g., red and green, blue and orange) create vibrant contrast.
Analogous Colours:
Colours next to each other on the colour wheel (e.g., blue and green, red and orange) create a more subtle, cohesive look.
Triadic Colours:
Three colours evenly spaced on the colour wheel (forming a triangle) offer a bold, balanced scheme.
60/30/10 Rule:
Use a dominant colour (60%), a secondary colour (30%), and an accent colour (10%) to create a balanced and harmonious look.
RBY (Red, Blue, Yellow)
CMY (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow)
When these colours are combined, secondary hues like orange, green, and purple are produced.
Black, which is often reflected by the letter "K" in CMYK, is often added to printing to improve the final product's quality.
