Introduction


Hello everyone, I'm Alex!

Welcome to another chapter of my blog. Today we will learn the correct use and a little history about color theory.


The first person to explain the nature and origin of colors was the scientist Isaac Newton. 

You may wonder who Isaac Newton was? 

Well readers ... He was a great English scientific physicist of the 17th century who really marked a milestone in history by explaining the laws that govern both the movement of bodies in the Universe, as well as that of objects on Earth, through the Law of Universal Gravitation and the three Laws of Classical Mechanics.

However, somewhat less popular, but no less important, was his work on light and colors. He observed that white light was what gave rise to colors, it was decomposed into them thanks to the properties of refraction. Through an experiment with a refracting prism, he observed how light decomposed into different colors. Furthermore, he noticed that opaque objects absorbed some colors and reflected others, those reflected being the ones that reach the eyes.

Isaac Newton established color theory when he invented the color wheel in 1666. Newton understood colors as human perceptions, not absolute qualities, of wavelengths of light. He systematically categorized the colors, and defined them into three groups:

- Primaries (red, blue, yellow).

- Secondary (mixtures of primary colors: green, orange and purple).

- Tertiary (mixtures of primary and secondary colors: bluish-green or violet-red).

  Hello again dear readers! Welcome to the latest post on my blog, I hope have you learned a little history about color theory and how they behave in different fields. Today, I will make a brief summary of everything we have learned. In additional, we will remember the importance of colors in different fields. I the last characters we learned about color theory and how to apply it in a way. We also understood about the importance of colors theory, this being a fundamental tool in the different fields. Design and Art: Helps artists and designers create visually appealing compositions by using complementary, analogous, and triadic color schemes.

  Hey readers,   Welcome to a new chapter of my blog about the colors. Today, we continue to learning about how the colors behave in interior design.  As we had already seen in the previous post, the colors are important for the interior design of the space, I will continue o teach you the best way so that you can apply the color correctly. Use different shades and textures for add depth . You can use different shades and textures for add depth and dimension to the space. For example: The lighter shade can make the space appear larger, while darker shades can make it feel more intimate. Used colors to highlight key elements. Colors can also be to use to highlight key elements in a space, for example; an accent wall or a specific piece of furniture. In these cases, contrasting colors can be use to highlight the elements in question and make it pop in the space. Use 60-30-10 rule This rule is a helpful guideline used in interior design to create a balance colors palette in ...

  Hello dear reader, Welcome to my third blog, today I will continue  teaching you about my knowledge of color theory, we see the types of configurations that exist to combine a color.   Type of Color of Theory When mixing and configuring colors, there are two color theories:    A dditive synthesis and subtractive synthesis.    A dditive Synthesis   Additive colors are used for digital displays.  This is known as RGB colors or on screen colors.     Subtractive Synthesis On the other hand,  subtractive colors are pigment colors.  That is, they are tangible, such as paint, dyes, and ink. Therefore, within the field of design, it is also very important to know  this model, which is the one used for documents and printed material.      Colors are able to make us feel in different ways, express emotions or moods, alert us to dangers, transmit information about certain objects and even make us make decisions ...
