Color Names

The definition "Light-", "Dark-" or "Gray-" is for colors in the middle of two colors. For example

"Light-Red" (L-R (Light Red) ) is exactly in the middle of Red and White. We can name this color also

"White-Red" (W-R (White Red) ). Because base colors are already different light and dark. Colors near by

White are general named as "Light" and near by Black as "Dark". Therefore the color "Light-Black" or

"Dark-White" is the same as Gray. Light-Gray (L-N (Light Neutral Gray) ) is the color between White (W

(White) ) and Gray (N (Neutral Gray) ). Dark-Gray (D-N (Dark Neutral Gray) ) is the color between Gray

(N (Neutral Gray) ) and Black (K (Key/Black) )

4.2 Base Colors

Base colors are: Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White and Black. The distance from one base

color to an other is in the double cone, color circle, hexagon double pyramid and color cube (colorful base

colors) 100%.

In the color cube model are the achromatic base colors white and black further apart. But that implies not

more (achromatic) colors in the color cube. The color grid (#color_grid) is the same in each color model on the

colorful and achromatic line.

The six colorful base colors Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are on the colorful line, arranged

with a distance of 60°. The two achromatic base colors White and Black are on the achromatic line and

arranged with the same distance of two colorful base colors. See for example Documentation image 1.1

(images/documentation/documentation_1_1.png) .

In the RGB model are Red, Green and Blue primary colors and Cyan, Magenta and Yellow secondary

colors.


82 von 157 21.05.2010 23:19

The intermixture of two base colors result a tertiary color. This mixture is a color grid of 50% or 30°. See

for example Documentation image 1.2 (images/documentation/documentation_1_2.png) . This and other

intermixture of base colors at the colorful or achromatic line implies the color palettes: base colors (Base

Colors). Mixture of colorful base colors with the achromatic base colors are in the color palettes: Spectrum

(#spectrum) .

4.5 Color Cube Slices

The mixture of colors Cyan, Magenta and Yellow result Light Gray (L (CMY Light Gray) ) #AAAAAA.

The horizontal slice through the center line at the colors Light Gray, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow, in the

color cube, view from top, result the color palettes: Triangle CMY (Cyan Magenta Yellow) .

The mixture of colors Red, Green and Blue result Dark Gray (D (RGB Dark Gray) ) #555555. The

horizontal slice through the center line at the colors Dark Gray, Red, Green and Blue, in the color cube,

view from top, result the color palettes: Triangle RGB (Red Green Blue) .

The mixture of colorful colors result the Neutral Gray (N (Neutral Gray) ) #808080. The horizontal slice

through the center line at the Neutral Gray, in the color cube, view from top, result the color palettes:

Hexagon Gray. See for it also Documentation image 1.14 (images/documentation/documentation_1_13_de.png)

In the arrangement of colors to a circle, the color grid is no longer symmetric and the line in the triangle and

hexagon do not run any more parallel to the outer edge, but in the circle and to the middle.

Warning! The three mix colors Light Gray (L (CMY Light Gray) ), Dark Gray (D (RGB Dark

Gray) ) and Neutral Gray (N (Neutral Gray) ) exists not in any color grid. See for it the table

color grid (#color_grid) . For example all these three mix colors together exists in color atlas 10°,

5° and 2°. See for it also Documentation image 1.11 (images/documentation

/documentation_1_10_de.png) , it shows the vertical slice along the center line at Yellow-Green and

Blue-Magenta in the color cube 10°.

4.6 Color Harmony

The advantage compared to color harmony software is, you can search targeted on this color palettes for

color harmonies and then, if it is necessary, edit the color harmonies to the achromatic axis (White to

Black).
