The Impact Of Advanced Color Theory

By Alta Alexander


There are many paints that are available in the markets. In order to achieve favorable paints that are required to perform painting to give certain results, mixing of different paints is carried out. Mixing of the concoctions is carefully done where certain criterion are adhered to ensure the correct outcome is realized. This process of mixing paints to form new colors is referred to as advanced color theory.

The study of this theory is very detailed since it requires the person conducting the study to have a rich background on different forms of pigmentation present. There are two major categories of Chroma which are the primary and secondary pigments. Primary pigments include red, green and blue and are commonly denoted as RGB in chromatography. These components are very useful since they form the background of formation of other paints.

The second group of paints was the secondary group which can also be divided to form tertiary elements. Most dyes that are present in the world today fall in this broad category. One unique thing about all elements in this group is that they can be created from the primary elements. Some members of this group include yellow, magenta, and cyan, among many others.

Some assumptions have been made by theorists who developed this mode. One of these assumptions is that all inks are possible to mix. Failure of these inks to mix uniformly has been attributed to some conditions such as impurities in the inks and imperfection of colorants. In the real sense only primary inks can mix uniformly to give rise to new pigmentation.

The vision formed when we look at different objects was found to be influenced by the light reflected to our eyes from the objects. This leads to formation of visions that gives the brain the perception on the general appearance of certain objects. Theorists found that light from the inside of an object tend to display green characteristic while that reflected from the upper side has magenta traits. This is what influences how we interpret visions.

In order for painters to perform quality work in painting, they should have prior knowledge on different colors. This enables them to come up with paints of desired pigmentation that will produce good results. This plays an advantageous role where more paints can be made from the present ones without necessarily going for new ones.

Different characteristics have been attributed to some Chroma. An example is luminance. This is the ability to reflect light that is directed to a colored object. To increase the reflective ability, white is added to a hue making it appear brighter. Black on the other hand can be added to light pigments thus lowering the purity level of that hue making the object give off less light when subjected to a beam of rays. This is an important principle that is widely used by many chromatographers and scientists in evaluating different appearances of objects.

Another trait given to dyes is saturation. This is a measure that is conducted to evaluate how far a certain dye is from being gray. This is done by exposing the particular dye to a specific light intensity. Those near middle grey are said to be unsaturated unlike the more vibrant ones which are termed as saturated.
