INTRODUCTION
 COLOR
 Element of design where human beings
are most sensitive with and arouses the
most universal appreciation in art.
 COLOR SOURCE
 Color in its entirely is dependent with
light, either artificial of natural. Thus, if
the light source is strong, then the color
is according to the particular intensity
of the source.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF COLOR
The presence of color is dependent on light,
on its source. Therefore, it follows that color is found
on the spectrum band and is not a physical property of
an object.
 Are defined as hues that appear to be
without color, and don’t typically
appear on the spectrum band
 Do not compete with primary and
secondary colors and instead
compliment them.
 Pure neutrals are
 WHITE, BLACK, GRAY
 In science, these so called neutrals
actually reflect all the color waves in
a given ray of light.
 Not considered as colors since they
are not within the visible spectrum
wavelengths humans can perceive
known as “visible light”.
 Usually serves as the base and
background of artwork
 Provide the viewer a break from the
intensity of highly saturated tones
(bright tones) while also
complementing and balancing them

Hue

The color property that

refers to its location to
the spectrum.
Valence
Is the quantity of
lightness and darkness
of a color in given
object.
Intensity
Is sometimes known in
the art world as
saturation or chroma
which refers to the
quality of light in a
color.
 BLACK
 Identified as the absence of
color, because it results to
absorbing all colors in the
surface reflecting
 GREY
 Considered as impure white
because it partially reflects all
color waves in the spectrum
 When a great quantity of light is
reflected, the grey is light:
correspondingly, if little quantity
of lights reflected, there will be
darker grey.
IMPORTANCE OF NEUTRALS
 The neutrals are what make the bright
colors more vibrant and more
interesting to the entire scene.

COLOR AND ITS BASIC USAGE

 Familiarity with the source of colors and its

fundamental properties is not enough, unless
its uses are fully appreciated and understood
in the production level.

 Color is utilized in creating a spatial quality

in a pictorial field.
 Color mar create mood (aesthetic, artistic,
emotional, etc.) and sense of symbolism

 Color serve as a vehicle in expressing individual

emotions and feelings.
