Color Spectrum

COLOR SPECTRUM


Color in design is extremely subjective. What brings out one response in one individual may inspire an altogether different response in someone else. Here and there this is because of particular inclination, and different times because of social foundation. Color hypothesis is a science in itself. Considering how colors influence diverse individuals, either exclusively or as a gathering, is something some individuals assemble their professions on. What's more there's a great deal to it. Something as basic as changing the definite tone or immersion of a shade can summon a totally distinctive feeling. Social contrasts imply that something that is upbeat and inspiring in one nation might be discouraging in an alternate.



The light that we see range in the area of the electromagnetic radiation range that is noticeable to the human eye. It extends in wavelength from give or take 400 nm (4 x 10-7 m) to 700 nm (7 x 10-7 m). It is otherwise called the optical range of light.
The wavelength of the light decides the apparent color. The scopes of these distinctive colors are recorded in the table underneath. A few sources shift these extents pretty definitely, and the limits of them are to a degree rough as they mix into one another. The edges of the noticeable light range mix into the ultraviolet and infrared levels of radiation.



Most light that we communicate with is as white light, which holds numerous or these wavelength goes inside them. Sparkling white light through a crystal causes the wavelengths to twist at somewhat diverse edges because of optical refraction. The ensuing light is, accordingly, part over the noticeable shade range. This is the thing that causes a rainbow, with airborn water particles going about as the refractive medium. The request of wavelengths (as demonstrated to the right) is in place of wavelength, which could be recalled by the mneumonic "Roy G. Biv" for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo (the blue/violet outskirt), and Violet. You'll perceive that in the picture and table Cyan is additionally shows up reasonably notably, between green & blue.



COLOR WHEEL

A color wheel is a visual representation of colors organized as indicated by their chromatic relationship. Start a shade wheel by situating essential tints equidistant from each other, then make a scaffold between primaries utilizing optional and tertiary colors.




Color Terminology

  • Primary Colors


Colors at their basic essence; those colors that cannot be created by mixing others.
  • Secondary Colors


 Those colors achieved by a mixture of two primaries.
  • Tertiary Colors

Those colors achieved by a mixture of primary and secondary hues.
  • Complementary Colors



Those colors located opposite each other on a color wheel.

  • Analogous Colors



Those colors located close together on a color wheel.

Spectrum of color
Color is everywhere. You need to set a theme for this project and by using a camera; you need to capture images from the environment to create your own color spectrum. Remember color derives from the spectrum of light, the range of wavelengths humans can perceive, approximately from 390 nm to 700 nm), it is known as "visible light". After you have completed your full set of color spectrum, you need to create a design based on your theme and use the color spectrum. 



After that understanding, i chose to have fruits to be my spectrum color. I went out around school shop and captured the necessary fruits to get the colors that would be necessary to make this spectrum with atleast most of the ROY-G-BIV colors.

After collecting my fruits and editing them in photoshop, this was my final design for my spectrum.












This was my final design  for my spectrum.


COLOR HARMONY

Color Harmony is utilized to depict which colors go well together to make a beautiful space that is engaging the eye. The color wheel is utilized to match shades together. Complimentary color harmonies (colors on inverse sides of the color wheel) might be utilized for spaces where attaining a brilliant or warm feel is the objective. To use shade amicability to make a cool and quiet space, practically equivalent to colors or shades that are right beside one another on the color wheel (i.e. purple, red and orange) are best.


The high differentiation of correlative colors makes an energetic look particularly when utilized at full immersion. This shade plan must be overseen well so it is not bumping. 

Complimentary color plans are unreliable to use in extensive measurements, however work well when you need something to emerge.

Analogous 





Analogous color schemes use colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. They usually match well and create serene and comfortable designs.

Analogous color schemes are often found in nature and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

Make sure you have enough contrast when choosing an analogous color scheme.

Choose one color to dominate, a second to support. The third color is used (along with black, white or gray) as an accent.


Triad 


A triadic color scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel.

Triadic color harmonies tend to be quite vibrant, even if you use pale or unsaturated versions of your hues.

To use a triadic harmony successfully, the colors should be carefully balanced - let one color dominate and use the two others for accent.


Split-Complementary 


The split-complementary color scheme is a variation of the complementary color scheme. In addition to the base color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement.

This color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but has less tension.

The split-complimentary color scheme is often a good choice for beginners, because it is difficult to mess up.

Rectangle (tetradic)


The rectangle or tetradic color scheme uses four colors arranged into two complementary pairs.

This rich color scheme offers plenty of possibilities for variation.

The tetradic color scheme works best if you let one color be dominant.

You should also pay attention to the balance between warm and cool colors in your design.

Square 


The square color scheme is similar to the rectangle, but with all four colors spaced evenly around the color circle.

The square color scheme works best if you let one color be dominant.

You should also pay attention to the balance between warm and cool colors in your design.

After this understanding, we were told to go out on a task and find natural objects that have color and use them to make a color harmony piece of art. My findings for this task were :  
  • Red flower
  • Yellow leaves
  • Two blue strips of paper
  • Blue paper
  • Pink strip of paper
With my collection, this was my harmonized piece of natural objects below.
