Accent color: Colors that are used for emphasis in a color scheme
Achromatic color: is a one that lacks hues such as white, grey and black Additive color: is a method to create color by mixing a number of different light colors, with shades of red, green, and blue being the most common primary colors used in additive color system. Analogous color: are groups of three colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, sharing a common color, with one being the dominant color, which tends to be a primary or secondary color, and a tertiary. Bezold effect: is an optical illusion, a color may appear different depending on its relation to adjacent colors. It happens when small areas of color are interspersed. Chroma: efers to the quality of the purity, saturation, or intensity of a color Color harmony: is the theory of combining colors in a fashion that is harmonious to the eye. In other words, what colors work well together Color interaction: Two colors, side by side, interact with one another and change our perception accordingly. Color key: it is a technique for superimposing one video image onto another. Color overtone: a secondary effect, quality, or meaning : suggestion, connotation. Color theory: is a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual effects of a specific color combination. Complementary Color: one of a pair of primary or secondary colors opposed to the other member of the pair on a schematic chart or scale (color wheel) Composition: is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or 'ingredients' in a work of art, as distinct from the subject Hue: a color or a shade that's true Intensity: be considered as the brightness or dullness of a color. Monochromatic: color schemes are derived from a single base hue and extended using its shades, tones and tints.

Secondary color: produced by mixing two primary colors. Shade: A tone is produced either by the mixture of a color with grey, or by both tinting and shading. Simultaneous contrast: refers to the way in which two different colors affect each other Split complementary Color: is a variation of the complementary color scheme, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement Subtractive color: the mixing of a limited set of dyes, inks, paint pigments or natural colorants to create a wider range of colors, each the result of partially or completely subtracting (that is, absorbing) some wavelengths of light and not others Temperature: Low color temperature is the warmer, more yellow to red light while high color temperature is the colder, more blue light. Tertiary colors: is a color made by mixing full saturation of one primary color with half saturation of another primary color and none of a third primary color Tint: the mixture of a color with white, which increases lightness, while a shade with black, which reduces lightness Tone: the light and dark values used to render a realistic object, or to create an abstract composition Value: the lightness or darkness of tones or colors |
