Colour Basic
Colour Basic gives you the lowdown on the categories found in colours, the way colours are perceived and what they imply
The Colour Wheel forms the basic of the colour theory. Typically, the colour wheel is divided into twelve parts and has all the colours possible, arranged in a cyclic order.
Complementary Colours:
These colours can be found placed diametrically opposite to each other on the Colour Wheel. They are in maximum contrast to each other. Thus, each colour stands out very brightly against its complementary counterpart. These colours can be used to create a very vibrant and bold look!
Analogous Colours:
These colours are placed adjacent/neighbouring to each other on the Colour Wheel. And because they belong to neighbouring colour families, they give a pleasant harmonious look.
SHADES | TINTS | TONES
Shades: When the colour black is added to any colour, we get shades of that colour.
Tints: When the colour white is added to any colour, we get tints of that colour.
Tones: When the colour grey is added to any colour, we get tones of that colour.
