The Element of Color

-When creating a composition, color interaction is very important to address, colors are never seen in isolation.
-Hue: name of a color, determined by its wavelength.

-Tint: the amount of white added to a hue
vs
-Tone: the amount of gray added to a hue
vs
-Shade: the amount of black added to a hue

-Color can shift visual balance, create a focal point, influence our emotions, and expand communication.
-Proportional distribution is another way to harmonize seemingly incompatible colors.


overall informative and good overview of techniques that might otherwise be overlooked.
