Colour Theory Notes:

• Primary Colours = RED, YELLOW, BLUE.
• Complimentary Colours = OPPOSITES.
  
• Semiotics of warm and cold colours.
• Tints, Shades and Tones - Tint = Add White. Shades = Add Black. Tones = Add Grey.
• Use photographs or visual images as colour reference.
  
• Look up blog on colour theory/ combinations - David Airey.
• 'KULER' - http://kuler.adobe.com/#themes/rating?time=30 - allows you to mix colours, shows complimentary colours.

PRIMARY COLOURS - Red, Yellow and Blue. Two primary colours mixed together make a secondary colour. These are the most vivid colours and are useful in design that wants to promote urgency and speed.

SECONDARY COLOURS - Orange, Green and Purple. They are located in between the primary colours on the colour wheel, which indicates what colours were mixed to create them.

TERTIARY COLOURS - Tertiary colours are made by mixing one primary and one secondary colour together, creating an 'in-between' colour. E.g. Yellow/ Green.

COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS - Red and Green, Blue and Orange, Purple and Yellow. These are the colours that are directly opposite each other on the colour wheel. When used together they become very vibrant and heavy in contrast.

ANALOGOUS COLOURS - Colours next to each other on the colour wheel for example; Red and Orange. They match well but create hardly any contrast.
