Coloration
Title: Dyes and Color
By: Michelle
Hey lions, this is
a
color lesson. I’ll tell you all about colors and how they’re made.
First of all you should know all the names of them (Wash, dye, stain,
paint, color, shade, hue, tone, pigment, and tint). Second, there are
many kinds of hues, but the primary colors are blue, red, and yellow.
Without those colours, you cannot mix and create more hues; they are
their own colors and cannot be mixed. Sometimes, blue, red, and yellow,
are also called cyan and magenta but yellow stays the same. With those
colors, you can mix them up and get any shade you want. Blue and red
equals violet, blue and yellow gets green, and yellow and red is
orange! The colors that gets mixed from primary colors are called
secondary colors. There are only three. Colors that get mixed
from a primary and secondary are called tertiary; it also has three
colors. If you mix one color more than
the other, the shade will be more of the color that you added. A thing
you would want to know is that if you mix complimentary colors (Hues
that are opposite on the color chart), you will make a brownish color,
like red and green, two contrasting colors. Some people may consider
green as a primary color but it’s okay if they do that because most
people do that too, so instead of the three primaries it’s the four
primaries,but if you add black and white it is called the forth or
fifth primaries. Did you know that younger people like brighter colors
such as red, orange, and yellow, but older people like gentle colours
like purple, blue, and green? Additive colors are red, blue, and green;
Subtractive colors are magenta, cyan, and yellow. The colours I used at
the top are additive. Additive colors when combined together makes
white. So red plus green plus blue equals white. But while additive
makes white, subtractive makes black. Cyan plus magenta plus yellow
equals black. Well, thats all students, thank you for clicking this
