Document Summary
We organise colours in systems, for example maxwell"s colour triangle, newton"s colour wheel, and the modern pantone system. These organisation systems allow us to establish colour relationships, for example: impact of colour. Geometrically allows us to see complimentary colours: legibility. Colour standardisation has impacts on manufacturing, allowing designers to obtain consistent quality and accurate colour matches from screen to product. Produced a linear sequence from black to white. Symbolism was important: light would be pure and holy, dark would be base colours, evil. Hues were assigned on a linear scale according to value: newton. 1704 published optiks theory of light and colour. Wrapped the spectrum to produce the colour wheel. Established consistent colour order in the wheel. Additive mixes obtained by connecting line between two colours. Structured colour wheel with traditional painters" primaries. Shades were rendered towards the centre of the circle: geothe. Created a colour wheel and then a colour triangle in 1810.
