Color Palette

Writing Assignment: The 3 primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colors are created by combining two of the primary colors. For instance, to make orange, I can combine yellow and red. Tertiary colors are created by combining secondary colors, for instance red and orange can create a red-orange color that is on the tertiary color wheel. Subtractive color is pigment generated and additive color is light generated. Color can affect our perception by using different shades; a color wheel going from light to dark can give off the appearance of a tunnel. One color can affect another because the color intensity of a color changes in relation to its surrounding color. A grey scale image can be a black and white image, and a monotone image uses tints and shades of only one hue. A image that uses complimentary colors could be a picture of a flower with a green stem and pinkish petals.
