COLOR

There are two types of colors: **Primary colors and secondary**, the first ones are colors that cannot be created the mixing of other colors, are colors in th eir own right, those are red, yellow and blue. The secondary colors are the mix of primary colors, the combinations are: blue + red = purple, blue + yellow = green, yellow + red = orange In [|color theory], a **tint** is the mixture of a [|color] with [|white] , which increases [|lightness] , and a **shade** is the mixture of a color with [|black] , which reduces lightness. Mixing a color with any [|neutral color], including black and white, reduces the chroma, or [|colorfulness] , while the [|hue] remains unchanged. A **color wheel ** or color circle is an abstract illustrative organization of [|color] [|hues] around a circle that shows relationships between [|primary colors], [|secondary colors] , [|complementary colors] , etc. 
 * Color ** is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called, red, green, blue and others. Color derives from the spectrum of light interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors.
 * Warm colors ** are based on yellows, oranges, browns, yellowish greens, orangish reds, and the like.
 * Cool colors ** are based on blues, greens, pinks, purples, blue-greens, magentas, and blue-based reds
 * Arbitrary Color **: Color that has no realistic or natural relation to the object that is depicted, as in a blue horse, or a purple cow, but which may have emotional or expressive significance.
 * Value **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"> is defined as the relative lightness or darkness of a color.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">Color mood: **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"> Color works magic by communicating with our emotions. Color inspires, energizes, soothes, and enlivens. See how switching from a warm color scheme to a cool one changes the mood of a living room.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">The Natural Color System **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"> (NCS) is a [|proprietary] [|perceptual] [|color model] published by the [|Scandinavian Color Institute] (Skandinaviska Färginstitutet AB) of [|Stockholm, Sweden] . It is based on the [|color opponency] description of color vision, first proposed by German physiologist [|Ewald Hering] . The system is usually used for matching colors (using printed reference cards), rather than mixing colors.
 * <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;">Analogous colors **<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"> are colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. Some examples are green, yellow green, and yellow or red, red violet and violet. Analogous color schemes are often found in nature and are pleasing to the eye. The combination of these colors gives a bright effect in the area, and is able to accommodate many changing moods. When using the analogous color scheme, one should make sure there is one hue as the main color.
