"Because of this physiological response, the can be fooled into seeing the full range of visible colours through the proportionate adjustment of just three colours: Red, Green and Blue."
Yesterday in Visual Language we were learning all about colour and the relationship with everyones perception. Colour itself is very hard to understand and get right and i realise that i will make a lot of mistakes with colour but i want to learn how best to utalise it best.
We learn't about the specifics of RGB and CMYK and how we mix them to give our general spectrum and how they interact with each other. We learn't a varied amount of correct terminolgy for colour mixing and what each means, for example:
Subtractive Colour Model - this relates to the physical colour side i.e paints. For example you start with a white colour and then as you add more colours to it this is actually subtracting from the chromatic value of the the white and therefore you are subtracting from the colour making it darker.
Addative Colour Model - This is based largely on light the absence of colour gives you black and then as you add more lights for example red then green and blue if you adjust them you will eventually get white.
We then went on to learn more about primary, secondary, tertiaries and complimentarys and their relevance towards CMY and RGM, for example CMY's are the secondaries of RGM and that tertiaries exist between the secondaries. We learn't this by looking at the Colour wheel.
When we had finished looking at systematic colour we were told to organise our coloured items that we had brought in, into a system to show the different levels of colour. In my group we decided to do them going from the darkest blue to the lightest. There were quite a few problems once we set out in doing this, because we found that as some items had a glossy sheen to them it made them a brighter blue and would therefore not fit well within the range of colours. We started out by taking each of our own piles then as best we could, in the dark to light system, we lay them all out and fitted each others colours into where they would look best in the range.
Below shows images of us doing this:
