Dimensions Of Colour.
With the secound lecture we were looking at Chromatic Value. Within this area we were looking at Hue. Hue is the colour of something, the blueness the yellowness etc. Each Hue has a spectrum, and by looking at the tertiary colours the Hue of a colour is losing its Chromatic value.
We also spent time looking at Lumiance (the brightness of the colour) and the 3 different aspects within this; Shade, tint and Tones. After this we looked at saturation, i found this quite hard to understand at first but then gradually began to get to grips with it. Saturation looks at the colour and its highest chromatic value, i.e the most saturated a colour can be. If you add white for example to the colour blue it will begin to lose its saturation and become desaturated and the same is for black. Both black and white have a chromatic value of '0'. By changing the shade and tonal value of the colour you ultimately change its saturation.
Once we had understood all of this we learnt about 'Pantome' which is the international and universal colour system for print. It is a system of organising colour. We were set on another task to pick out 10 objects from our line up and find out their pantome code or which was the closest.
Again this was quite tricky to do as some of the objects had a sheen to them which meant we could only estimate what the colour had been before it had been glossed because the pantome swatches didnt show it. The hardest thing to find was the button and the bucket.
