=Colors=

Is the effect produces on the eye and its associated nerves by light waves of different wavelength or frecuency. light transmitted from an object to the eye stimulates the different color cones of the retina, thus making possible perception of various colors in the object.

Color can be classified in: == Primary ==  colors are the defining colors of the wheel. In the color wheels below, they appear in the center as well as equally spaced around the circle. On the traditional artist's color wheel red, blue, and yellow are primary colors.

Secondary
 colors are the three colors that are equal distant from the primary colors. On the traditional artist's color wheel violet, green, and orange are secondary colors.

Tertiary
 colors are the colors between each primary and secondary color. On the traditional artist's color wheel red-violet, blue-violet, blue-green, yellow-green, yellow-orange, and red-orange are tertiary colors.

Color Wheel
A color wheel shows how colors are related. On a color wheel, each secondary color is between the primary colors that are used to make it. Orange is between red and yellow because orange is made by mixing red with yellow. What goes between secondary colors and primary colors? Intermediate, or tertiary, colors are made by mixing a primary color with a secondary color that is next to it. Red-orange, yellow-orange and yellow-green are some intermediate colors.

 * The artist's color wheel. This color wheel uses red, yellow, and blue as primary colors. This is used for mixing paints.
 * The subtractive color wheel. This color wheel uses the printing inks cyan, magenta, and yellow as primary colors. **Note: **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Because cyan, magenta, and yellow inks do not combine to make black, the printing process adds black as a fourth ink.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Additive Color. This color wheel displays the additive colors used for projected light. When mixed together the additive primaries form white. The primaries are red, green and blue. These colors are extremely bright because light that is projected can be far more intense than printed colors

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #404040; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. Colors mixed with white are called tints. Pink is a tint of red. Colors mixed with black are called shades. Burgundy is a shade of red. Paintings that use only one color and the tints and shades of that color are called monochromatic (one=mono; color=chromatic).

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #404040; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">Saturation or intensity refers to the "purity" of color. A pure color is at its highest saturation, its most intense and brightest form. If white, black or another color is added to a pure color, its saturation decreases and its intensity drops. On this palette you can see many colors in their pure and most intense form as well as colors that have lost some intensity after the artist mixed them.
