Week 6: Analyzing Colour

Primary

This image of a small bunch of flowers that are colored Red, Yellow and Blue the primary colors that can not be made with any other color. As a result the flowers contrast nicely against each other and the background. 

Secondary    

This photo contains the secondary colors Violet, Orange and Green, the secondary colors that are each made through an even combination between the primary colors. This creates a softer contrast within the image. 

Tertiary   

This photo contains Tertiary colors, which are basically a secondary color with more of one primary color added. or, what you find between a primary color and a secondary color on the color wheel. For instance, this image contains aqua (2 Blue, 1 Yellow, between Blue and Green) and light orange (2 yellow, 1 Red, Between yellow and Orange). As a result this image is very colorful and diverse in which colors are used. 

 Analogous

 Analogues is using a color scheme that progressively makes it's way around the color wheel.For instance, in this image, all the colors are close to the red - yellow parts of the color wheel. Ranging from Red to Yellow leaves the viewer with several shades of orange in between the two primary colors.  

Complementary

 Complementary colors are colors that are at opposite ends of the color wheel. For instance, Red and Green are complementary together. Complementary colors often make each other stand out more, or if one is dominant, it makes the other stand out more. For instance in this image, green is the dominant color in the image, but because Red and Green are complementary colors, the red flowers stick out better,
