The Language of Color Recap

The Language of Color basically told about basic color theory. The color wheel is made up of 3 primary colors red, yellow, blue. With out these colors all other colors would not exist. All other colors are made from primary colors. Primary colors are two colors mixed. Tertiary colors are when primary colors are mixed with secondary colors. Hue, Saturation and Value are three things that change color. Color is how bright of muted, how light or dark a color is. A main key was that value is most important because without value there is no hue or saturation also value establishes visual clarity. We also learned a little about RGB ( red, green, blue) which is light based for onscreen use. CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) used when printing with halftone ( 4 color process). Spot color is for single color printing something like a business card, very dependable color. (one spot mix color process).
