Primary and Secondary Analogous Colours Complementary Colours

Colour Theory: Primary and Secondary The primary colors are yellow, red, and blue. Secondary colors are created when equal amounts of any two primary colors are mixed together. The secondary colors orange, violet, and green are located on the sides of the color triangle. Analogous Colours The term analogous means ““like”” or ““similar.”” Analogous color can be used to create subtle differences in an image or design. These subtle differences create a peaceful and more harmonious feeling from an image. Complementary Colours Find a primary color on the color triangle. Draw a line directly opposite the color and you have discovered the complementary color. As opposites on the color triangle, the colors react off one another visually when placed alongside each another. This effect has been described as creating energy, or a visual vibration, that can be used if those results are desired. Split Complementary Colour Schemes A Split complement color scheme is created by combining a color on one side of the color wheel with two colors on either side of its direct complement. An example would be blue with yellow-orange and red-orange. These colors contrast less than the direct complement. This adds interest and variety. Pros: This scheme has more variety than a simple complementary color scheme. Cons: It is less vibrant and eye-catching. It is difficult to harmonize the colors. Tints and Shades When white is added to a color, the color is diluted and produces a tint (also referred to as pastels). A shade is created when a color is mixed with black. Brilliance and luminosity are terms used to describe the amount of black mixed with the color to create the shade. Zero brilliance or zero luminosity is black. Whenever a color is diluted by mixing white or black into it, the color loses saturation. The color pink is created by mixing red with white. Technically the color pink can be described as a tint of red or low-saturation red. .

Chapter 9 LIGHT AND COLOR What Is Color? Color is a human phenomenon. To the physicist, the only difference be- tween light with a wavelength of 400 nanometers and that of 700 nm is Different wavelengths wavelength and amount of energy. However a normal human eye will see cause the eye to see another very significant difference: The shorter wavelength light will different colors. cause the eye to see blue-violet and the longer, deep red. Thus color is the response of the normal eye to certain wavelengths of light. It is nec- essary to include the qualifier “normal” because some eyes have abnor- malities which makes it impossible for them to distinguish between certain colors, red and green, for example. Note that “color” is something that happens in the human seeing ap- Only light itself paratus—when the eye perceives certain wavelengths of light. There is causes sensations of no mention of paint, pigment, ink, colored cloth or anything except light color. itself. Clear understanding of this point is vital to the forthcoming discus- sion. Colorants by themselves cannot produce sensations of color. If the proper light waves are not present, colorants are helpless to produce a sensation of color. Thus color resides in the eye, actually in the retina- optic-nerve-brain combination which teams up to provide our color sen- Color vision is sations. How this system works has been a matter of study for many years complex and not and recent investigations, many of them based on the availability of new completely brain scanning machines, have made important discoveries.

Computational RYB Color Model and Its Applications
IIEEJ Transactions on Image Electronics and Visual Computing Vol.5 No.2 （2017） -- Special Issue on Application-Based Image Processing Technologies -- Computational RYB Color Model and its Applications Junichi SUGITA† (Member), Tokiichiro TAKAHASHI†† (Member) †Tokyo Healthcare University, ††Tokyo Denki University/UEI Research <Summary> The red-yellow-blue (RYB) color model is a subtractive model based on pigment color mixing and is widely used in art education. In the RYB color model, red, yellow, and blue are defined as the primary colors. In this study, we apply this model to computers by formulating a conversion between the red-green-blue (RGB) and RYB color spaces. In addition, we present a class of compositing methods in the RYB color space. Moreover, we prescribe the appropriate uses of these compo- siting methods in different situations. By using RYB color compositing, paint-like compositing can be easily achieved. We also verified the effectiveness of our proposed method by using several experiments and demonstrated its application on the basis of RYB color compositing.

Given the resolution of CCD sensor arrays, the image pixels. The interpolation decision is made on a hypothesis on quality of digital cameras using Bayer sampling mosaic largely the local gradient direction.

To overcome this drawback we introduce a interpolations in different primary color components, which is new notion of soft-decision color demosaic.

To cure the instead of forcing a decision on the gradient with insufficient problem we propose a primary-consistent color demosaic information to guide the interpolation, we make multiple algorithm. The performance of this algorithm is further hypotheses and interpolate missing color components for each enhanced by a soft-decision sample interpolation scheme. of the hypotheses.

A Correlated Color Temperature for Illuminants
. (R P 365) A CORRELATED COLOR TEMPERATURE FOR ILLUMINANTS By Raymond Davis ABSTRACT As has long been known, most of the artificial and natural illuminants do not match exactly any one of the Planckian colors. Therefore, strictly speaking, they can not be assigned a color temperature. A color of this type may, however, be correlated with a representative Planckian color. The method of determining correlated color temperature described in this paper consists in comparing the relative luminosities of each of the three primary red, green, and blue components of the source with similar values for the Planckian series. With such a comparison three component temperatures are obtained; that is, the red component of the source corresponds with that of the Planckian radiator at one temperature, its green component with that of the Planckian radiator at a second temperature, and its blue component with that of the Planckian radiator at a third temperature. The average of these three component temperatures is designated as the correlated color temperature of the source. The mean devia- tion of the component temperatures from the average temperature is used as a basis for specifying the color (chromaticity) departure of the source from that of the Planckian radiator at the correlated color temperature. The conjunctive wave length indicates the kind of color departure. CONTENTS Page I. Introduction 659 II. The proposed method 662 III. Procedure 665 1.
