COLOUR THEORY THREE

Because of the psychological response, the eye can be 'fooled' into seeing the full range of visible colours through the proportionate adjustments of just three colours, red, green and blue.


SEVEN CONTRASTS:
-Contrast of tone
-Contrast of hue
-Contrast of saturation
-Contrast of extension
-Contrast of temperature 
-Complimentary contrasts 
-Simultaneous contrasts


CONTRAST OF TONE:
Formed by the juxtaposition of light and dark values.  This could be monochromatic

CONTRAST OF HUE:

Formed by the juxtaposing of different hues, the greater the distance between hues on a colour wheel, the greater the contrast.

CONTRAST OF SATURATION:
Formed by the juxtaposition of light and dark values and their relative situations
