Primary Colors The three main colors that create all others when mixed organically. Red, Yellow, Blue (Remember, digitally, light uses Red Blue, and GREEN to make all colors.)
Secondary Colors Colors created by mixing primary colors together. (Green, Orange, Purple)
Tertiary Colors: The colors created by mixing those secondary colors together.
Analogous: 3 to 5 colors next to each other on the color wheel. (could also work with warm or cool colors because of placement.)
Complementary: Colors that are opposite one another on the color wheel. Colors stand out more, and creates great contrast.
Split Complementary: Takes the colors left and right of that center (originally chosen color) On both sides of the wheel, across from each other.
Triadic: Three colors that are equal distances apart on the wheel. If you draw lines to connect the three, it will form a triangle. Distinct contrast, but go well.
Quadratic: Like Triadic, but with 4 equidistant colors.
Grayscale: The values ranging from black to white, devoid of any hue. The total absence and presence of color, and the subtle values in-between. (I.E. black, white, and a bazillion grays and greys.)
Monochromatic: (Mono = one. Chroma = Color) Uses one color, with a ton of variations in value. Shades, tints, etc. Usually some combination of Monochromatic and greyscale designs accompany rough drafts of work when doing value studies.
