Imagine a world without color. Like lines, color surrounds us. It is in the reds and purples of the sky at sunset. It is in the lush green of a well-tended lawn. Our moods even have “color.” We describe someone who is angry as “seeing red.” A happy, carefree person is said to be “in the pink.” In this lesson, you will learn about the way color is used in art. In the next lesson, you will practice using color yourself.

Have you ever tried to find a pair of matching socks on a dark winter morning? It is not easy. Without light, all colors look the same. Scientists and artists have long understood this. Both know that coloris what the eye sees when light is reflected off an object.

Some artists use color boldly. Others use it softly. To get these results, artists need to understand the three main properties of color. These are hue, value, and intensity.

Hueis a color’s name. Orange, green, and violet are all hues.Three of the hues —red, yellow, and blue—are known as the primary, or pure, hues. They are called primary because these three are mixed to create all the other hues. Mixing the two primary colors of yellow and blue gives green, a secondary color. Mixing a primary color like red with a secondary color like orange gives red-orange, an

intermediate color. Look at the painting in Figure 8–1.The artist has overlapped hues tocapture all the colors of the rainbow. Matchthe hues in the painting with those on thecolor wheel. Has the artist used any primaryhues? Which secondary hues has she used?Which intermediate hues has she used?

The art element, value,is the lightness or darkness of a hue. Value is also considered as aproperty of color. You can change a hue’svalue by mixing in white or black. Whenwhite is added to a hue, the resulting coloris said to be a tint. When black is added, theresult is called a shade. Pink is a tint of red.Maroon is a dark shade of red.

Some colors appear lively and brilliant. Others look murky or dull. The difference is called the color’s intensity.This is the brightness or dullness of a hue. A strong, bright hue is said to be “high-intensity.” Pure green is such a hue. A faint, dull hue is said to be “low-intensity.” Olive green is a hue that fits this description.

One way of lowering a hue’s intensity is by mixing it with its complementary, or opposite, hue on the color wheel.
