    Colour Combining Colours

    Colour is produced when light reflects off a surface and is perceived by the eye. It has three main properties: hue, value, and intensity. Hues can be primary, secondary, or tertiary colours based on their composition. Complementary colours are opposite each other on the colour wheel, while analogous colours have a hue in common. Warm colours like reds and yellows tend to make objects appear larger, while cool colours like blues make objects appear smaller. Value refers to a colour's lightness or darkness when white or black is added.
