Colour Theory


colours affect us in numerous ways, both mentally and phsyically. Colours must be used consciously in my work to obtain the effect i want to achieve.

Primary colours are red, blue and yellow: you can create secondary colours by mixing two primaries, making, purple, green and orange.

WARM colours are vivid and energenic (red, orange and yellow)
COLD colours give an impression of calm (blue/green)

colours that are opposite on the colour wheel are considered to be complementary colours (for example: red and green)
