Architectural Interiors C O L O R S & its Theory Group 8 : Nathan Amiel F. Abadiano Dave Adrian Cuenca Carlo Labasa II

C O L O R S Color is a natural, inherent visual property of all forms, enhancing the appeal of a form. It surrounds our environmental setting. It’s effects has range, allowing the viewer to make responses based on memory, emotion and instinct, among others. Without light, there is no color and no color equals no life.

The Physics of Color

The Physics of Color In 1666, British physicist Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) observed that the spectrum of colors exiting a prism in the position of minimum deviation is oblong, even when the light ray entering the prism is circular, which is to say, the prism refracts different colors by different angles. This led him to conclude that color is a property intrinsic to light – a point which had, until then, been a matter of debate.

The Physics of Color

Color Dimensions The Color Dimensions are: Hue Value/Luminance Intensity/Chroma

Color Dimensions

Color Dimensions Hue – one of the three (3) dimensions of color, which gives its name. Primary Colors – red , yellow , blue Secondary Colors – addition of two primary colors: Green = Red + Blue Orange = Red + Yellow Violet = Red + Blue Tertiary Colors – addition of primary and secondary colors Yellow-Orange = Yellow + Orange = Y + O + Y Blue-Green = Blue + Green = B + Y + B

Color Dimensions 2. Value – the brightness and/or darkness of a color using black and white. Also called luminance.

Color Dimensions a. Tint – whiting the color Red + White = Pink b. Tone – graying the color c. Shade – blacking the color Red + Black = Maroon

Color Dimensions 3. Saturation – the intensity of the color. Also called chroma.

Color Dimensions

Color Wheel A color wheel is a circular scale of colors in a spectrum.

Color Schemes Complementary Colors Split Complementary Colors Double Complementary Colors Analogous Colors Triad Tetrad Achromatic Monochromatic Polychromatic

Color Schemes 1. Complementary Colors – two colors, the warm color and cool color; oppose and reinforce each other.

Color Schemes

Color Schemes 2. Split-Complementary Colors – a combination of one color and the pair of colors adjoining its complementary color. One cool color opposing two warm colors One warm color opposing two cool colors

Color Schemes

Color Schemes 3. Double Complementary Colors – a combination of two analogous colors and two complementary colors.

Color Schemes

Color Schemes 4. Analogous Colors – One of two to three closely related colors. They push each other towards the other’s complement.

Color Schemes

Color Schemes 5. Triad – a combination of colors forming an equilateral triangle inscribed in a color wheel.

Color Schemes 6. Tetrad – a combination of four colors forming a rectangle inscribed in a color wheel.

Color Schemes 7. Achromatic – black and white only.

Color Schemes 8. Monochromatic – saturation of a single hue.

Color Schemes

Color Schemes 9. Polychromatic – multiple colors

Munsell Color System A system of color specification arranged in three orderly scales of uniform visual steps according to hue, luminance and chroma. Developed in 1898 Named after an American visual artist Albert Henry Munsell (6 Jan 1858-28 Jun 1918).

Conclusion Without colors, life and nature would be boring, dull and depressing. Colors represent emotions and feeings. It creates character, not only in paintings, but also in interior and industrial design. Colors are everywhere.

THE END Maraming salamat po.
