Primary Colors

In theory, the Primary Colors are the root of every other hue imaginable. The
primary pigments used in the manufacture of paint come from the pure source element
of that Hue. There are no other pigments blended in to alter the formula.
Think of the three Primaries as the Parents in the family of colors.
In paint pigments, pure Yellow, pure Red, and pureBlue are the only hues that cant
be created by mixing any other colors together. Printer inks and digital primaries are
referred to as Yellow, Magenta and Cyan.

Secondary Colors
When you combine any two of the Pure Primary Hues, you get three new mixtures
called Secondary Colors.
Think of the three Secondaries as the Children in the family of colors.
Yellow + Red = ORANGE
Red + Blue = VIOLET or PURPLE
Blue + Yellow = GREEN

Intermediate Colors
Intermediate colors are made up of yellow-orange, orange-red, red-violet, blue-violet,
blue-green and yellow-green. These colors are combinations of both primary and
secondary colors

Tertiary Colors
A tertiary color is a color made by mixing full saturation of one primary color with
half saturation of another primary color and none of a third primary color, in a
given color space such as RGB,[1] CMYK (more modern) or RYB[2] (traditional).
Tertiary colors have specific names, one set of names for the RGB color wheel and a
different set for the RYB color wheel. These names are shown below

Quarternary Colors
A mixture of two tertiary colors gives a quaternary. The quaternary colors are green,
purple, and orange, much neutralized. They are sometimes spoken of as olive, prune,
and buff. Quaternary green is a mixture of the tertiaries yellow and blue. Tertiary yellow
(B + Y + Y + R) added to tertiary blue (R + B + B + Y) gives this sum of colors-three
parts of yellow, three parts of blue, and two parts of red. The result of the mixture is
green, from the predominance of yellow and blue, and it is much dulled with the red.
The quaternary purple is 'a mixture of the tertiaries blue and red. R + B + B + Y and Y +
R + R + B make three parts of red and three parts of blue, giving purple, with two parts
of yellow to dull it. Quaternary orange is tertiary red (Y + R + R + B) mixed with tertiary
yellow (B + Y + Y + R). This makes three parts of yellow and three parts of red, which
give orange and the two parts of blue neutralize the orange.

Color
Color (American English) or colour (Commonwealth English) is the visual
perceptual property corresponding inhumans to the categories called red, blue, yellow,
etc. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of lightpower
versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light
receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with
objects or materials based on their physical properties such as light absorption,
reflection, or emission spectra. By defining a color space colors can be identified
numerically by their coordinates.
Because perception of color stems from the varying spectral sensitivity of different types
of cone cells in the retinato different parts of the spectrum, colors may be defined and
quantified by the degree to which they stimulate these cells. These physical
or physiological quantifications of color, however, do not fully explain
the psychophysicalperception of color appearance.
The science of color is sometimes called chromatics, colorimetry, or simply color
science. It includes the perception of color by the human eye and brain, the origin of
color in materials, color theory in art, and the physicsof electromagnetic radiation in the
visible range (that is, what we commonly refer to simply as light).

Design
Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system
or measurable human interaction (as in architectural blueprints, engineering
drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams, and sewing patterns).[1] Design has
different connotations in different fields (see design disciplines below). In some cases,
the direct construction of an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, coding,
and graphic design) is also considered to be design.
Designing often necessitates considering the aesthetic, functional, economic, and
sociopolitical dimensions of both the design object and design process. It may involve
considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re-design.
Meanwhile, diverse kinds of objects may be designed, including clothing, graphical user
interfaces, skyscrapers, corporate identities, business processes, and even methods of
designing.[2]
Thus "design" may be a substantive referring to a categorical abstraction of a created
thing or things (the design of something), or a verb for the process of creation, as is
made clear by grammatical context.

Saturation
In graphics and imaging, color saturation is used to describe the intensity of color in
the image. A saturated image has overly bright colors. Using a graphics
editing programyou can increase saturation on under-exposed images, or vise versa.

Pigment
A pigment is a material that changes the color of reflected or transmitted light as the result
of wavelength-selective absorption. This physical process differs
from fluorescence, phosphorescence, and other forms of luminescence, in which a material
emits light.
Many materials selectively absorb certain wavelengths of light. Materials that humans have
chosen and developed for use as pigments usually have special properties that make them ideal
for coloring other materials. A pigment must have a high tintingstrength relative to the
materials it colors. It must be stable in solid form at ambient temperatures.
For industrial applications, as well as in the arts, permanence and stability are desirable
properties. Pigments that are not permanent are called fugitive. Fugitive pigments fade over
time, or with exposure to light, while some eventually blacken.
