Colour Theory Lecture Part 1

 In this colour theory lecture we talked about what colour actually is and how it is created. For example what colour is the apple? But before anyone answered the colour red, we got told that the answer is not actually red but It's just a different shade of red or that we see the apple as red because it's the reddest thing on the screen.

We also talked about what the primary, secondary, and tertiary colours are and where they were on the colour wheel which Johannes Itten does a diagram on in his book "The Art of Colour" Colour works by our brains perceiving colour by light bouncing off any object and entering our eyes, as it penetrates the eye a rainbow of colour is formed.

We then talked about colour in the digital form like in RGB, which means the colours Red, Green, and Blue. Also CMYB/K this means the colours Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black/Key.

Thats why if you create something in photoshop and then print it out the colour will be different because the photoshop image will be in the colours of RGB, but the colours of the printer will be CMYK.
