colour contrast
is another part of the colour theory as used in the
interior design
area (probably other fields too, but I got to know them via that course. yep,
noding my homework
).
As a brief reference, the socalled colour wheel:
yellow
YO YG
orange green
OR BG
red blue
RP BP
purple
These are the 8
colour
contrast
s:
-
Achromatic
; using the colours black, greys and white. Ok, white contains all colours, but meant is, that you don't see what is generally called a colour.
-
Hue
; means the pure colours like combining red and blue.
-
Light
and
dark
; e.g. a light yellow combined with a dark purple, the divider is
chroma
(see also the
Munsell system
).
-
Temperature
; there are "warm" and "cold" colours, which has to do with the
psychology
of colours, aka what and how you
feel
in a red room will be different from the feeling in a blue-dominated room.
Imagine
a vertical line from yellow to purple: the colours on the left are considered
warm
, and the right
cold
.
-
Complemetary
; two colours diametrically
opposite
in the colour wheel.
-
Simultaneous
; the effects of combining greys with a colour.
-
Saturation
; the contrast of a pure colour with its
dilute
d form (diluted with white, grey and/or black).
-
Extension
; this is the most
vague
term and deals with the "
visual
balance
". (use your
imagination
, that was sort of the summary of my
teacher
.)
