Summary: Color is created by light and is described by three main properties: Hue – the name of the color (red, blue, yellow). Value – how light or dark a color is. Saturation (Intensity) – how bright or dull a color appears. Artists use the color wheel to understand relationships between colors: Primary colors: red, blue, yellow Secondary colors: orange, green, violet Complementary colors: opposite on the wheel; create strong contrast Analogous colors: next to each other; create harmony Warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) feel energetic and advance visually, while cool colors (blues, greens, purples) feel calm and recede. Understanding color helps artists create mood, depth, balance, and emphasis in drawings and paintings.
