A quick guide to colours and how we see them.

by Araika
1

Introduction to Colours

Colours are how we perceive light. They come from wavelengths, reflectance, and context. Our brains interpret hue, saturation, and brightness to create color experiences.

2

Primary Colours

Primary colours are the foundation: red, blue, and yellow (pigments). No mixture can reproduce them exactly, but they form all other hues.

3

Secondary Colours

Secondary colours arise by mixing two primaries: orange, green, and purple. They create a broader palette for art and design.

4

Color Wheel Basics

The color wheel organizes hues around a circle. It helps identify relationships, harmonies, and contrasts to guide composition.

5

Warm vs Cool

Warm colours (reds, oranges, yellows) feel energetic and close. Cool colours (blues, greens, purples) feel calm and distant.

6

Complementary Colours

Complementary colours sit opposite on the wheel. They create strong contrast when paired, enhancing visual impact and readability.

7

Tints, Shades, and Tones

Adding white creates a tint, black creates a shade, and grey creates a tone. These adjust brightness and mood.

8

Color Models: RGB & CMYK

RGB (red, green, blue) is for screens; CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) is for printing. They govern how colors are produced.

9

Color in Design & Accessibility

Choose high-contrast combos for readability. Consider color-blind users by avoiding sole reliance on color to convey information.

10

Practical Colour Tips

Experiment with hue, value, and saturation. Use a limited palette, test on devices, and ensure consistency across materials.
