Color Palette Summary

Color Palette Summary

The 3 primary colors are blue, yellow and red. Secondary colors are made by mixing primary colors. For example: Blue and yellow together will make green. Tertiary colors are typically made by combining the names of the adjacent primary and secondary. Additive colors are colors which are "pure", i.e. colors add up to form white light, while subtractive colors are "impure". When your taste buds come in contact with food, they send signals to your brain to interpret flavor. If the color of a food product does not match our expectations, we may perceive its taste and flavor differently. Colors affect each other by creating contrast with one another. A grayscale image is something that contains  white, gray and black shades. Monochrome describes paintings, drawings, design, or photographs in one color or values of one color. Complementary colors are pairs of colors which, when combined, cancel each other out. This means that when combined, they produce a grayscale color like white or black.
