Definitions Of Colour








Colour Definitions:

Colour: the property possessed by an object as a result of the way it reflects/emits light.

Saturation: the intensity of a colour, expressed as the degree it differs from white.

Muted Colour: primary or secondary colours mixed with a grey to essentially ‘tone’ them down. 


Analogous Colours: groups of three colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel, with one being the dominant colour, which is usually a primary or secondary colour, and one on either side of the colour.




Complementary Colour: a colour that combined with a given colour makes black and white




Colours can also be used to portray emotions. Colours are used in photographs to convey a particular emotion towards the image or by the photographer at the time.

 My own definition of colour: how bright something is, it could have a dark colour, or a light colour- but everything obtains some type of colour.
