Definitions

Hello there! Hope you enjoyed reading my previous posts. For this week's assignment, we were all asked by Ms Lisa to define some words related to colours.

So here are my definitions of the words given by Ms Lisa,

• Hue- A hue is a colour. Colours with the same hue will look different in   different light.
• Value- A value placed on something is the importance or usefulness you think it has.
• Saturation- A range from pure colours to gray.
• Secondary colours- A mixture of two primary colours.
• Tertiary colours- A mixture of a primary colour with a secondary colour, or a mixture of two secondary colours.
• Analogous colours- Groups of colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel.
• Tint- The amount of white added to an original colour.
• Shade- The amount of black added to an original colour.
• Monochromatic colours- All the colours of the same hue.

Later on we were asked to describe the following:

Warm and cool colours- Colours of the landscape light. Warm colors are associated with daylight or sunset such as red, orange, yellow and colours between them. Cool colors are associated with the colours from winter season or rainy days such as blue, violet, green, and the colours between them.
