Foundations of Complementary Colors
The Color Wheel
- A color wheel is a circular graphic which represent colors in their relation of color. It includes primary colors, secondary shades, and tertiary tones and thus it is very crucial for artists, painters and designers. The way of arrangement of the wheels makes seeing colors with either harmony, contrast and combinations possible.
Color Theory
- Color theory is an abstract system which considers how the color combinations and other visual elements affect the perception. Colors are not haphazardly scattered. It is organized by a color wheel — which organises primary, secondary, and tertiary colour clusters such as complementary, analogous, and triadic. Secondary colors, mixing together with primary colors, chain-of-color besides each other, composing a rainbow.
Design Principles
Some key design principles include: Some key design principles include:
Balance:
- Attaining stability using these devices measured by how balanced and symmetrical are the design elements. The types of balance may be either symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial balance.
Contrast:
- Stressing the differences between the elements in the design, for example, by using colored hue, size or simple shapes, thus produce visual interest and hierarchy.
Emphasis:
- Highlighting certain elements as the focal points to max out impressions and redirect human eyes within the given design.
Unity:
- Achieving the narrative arc in storytelling involves the orchestration of various elements which often grow from conflict into resolution, ending the narrative on a note of completeness and order.
Proportion:
- Making sure all objects are in a balanced size and their scale is visually attractive, besides they are compared to each other proportionally.
