In the second session of colour theory we were looking into subjective colour. The main aspect we were concentrating on were the seven colour contrasts how all seven do not work individually but build on one another and work as a combination.
We also looked into the physiological process with eyes and colour and how we perceive colour through light and how are eyes can be fooled through subjective colour.
The seven colour contrasts:
Contrast of Tone - Tone is like rods, Hue is like cones. Tone has light and dark values, with a range of shades and tints. Tones should have a equal contrast and we appreciate the tonal value within colour.
Contrast of Hue - There are different hues, the greater the difference between the hues on a colour wheel the greater the contrast. The hue works in combination with the tone. The closer or further a colour is on the colour wheel, the more of a distinction it has.
Contrast of Saturation - Light and dark values, how pure and how distinguished the purity of the colour is. More blue - More saturated.
Contrast on Extension - The contrast of proportion and the visual weight between colours. It thinks about balance within colour. Some colours require different balances and proportions. Contrast of extension works the same as a 'Bold' typeface, it stands out more.
Contrast of Temperature - Hues that can be considered 'warm' or 'cool' and the contrast between them. You can see the contrast of temperature on the colour wheel which are opposites i.e. blue (cold), which is opposite orange (warm).
Complimentary Contrast - Complimentary of colours on the colour wheel, contrast of hue and saturation.
Simultaneous Contrast - High contrast which effect other colours drastically. 'Buzzing making eyes hurt'. One thing warmer and the other cooler.
