CTVA 300 Final Exam UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
The first misconception about color is believing what? that sunlight is normal white light.
The way we see sunlight is as pure light, but our eyes the color temperature of light
adapt to?
The sun is actually a very blue light if one were to color temperature of sunlight.
measure the?
The Kelvin Scale Measures the temperature of light and provides a numerical value for each color.
Shorter wavelengths have a lower temperature
Longer wavelengths have a higher temperature
What are additive colors? red, green, blue
what are subtractive colors? cyan, magenta, yellow
Additive color - mixing light red + green + blue = white
RED + BLUE= magenta
GREEN+BLUE = CYAN
RED+GREEN= yellow
When additive primary colors are mixed together equally WHITE light.
they produce
______________ colors are cyan & red, green & magenta and COMPLEMENTARY
blue & yellow.
PRIMARY COLORS (of the subtractive System) MAGENTA, YELLOW and CYAN
MAGENTA +YELLOW = RED
YELLOW+CYAN= green
CYAN+MAGENTA= blue
Mixing cyan, magenta and yellow pigments together black
equally would produce
, A color correction filter for Tungsten balanced film 85B (amber) filter is used.
(3200K) to shoot outdoors in daylight (5600k) an ___ is
used.
To color correct daylight (5600k) for Tungsten (3200k) a blue filter (80) is used.
____ is used.
This is using the _________ __________ to color correct. the subtractive system
THE BASIC COMPONENTS OF COLOR hue, brightness, saturation
HUE is the position of a color on the color wheel or a particular shade of a given color
There are only 8 HUES: RED, ORANGE,YELLOW, GREEN, CYAN, BLUE VIOLET and MAGENTA
BRIGHTNESS is the position of a color in relation to the gray scale.
The lightness or darkness of reflected light, determined in large part by the light's
intensity.
SATURATION the purity of a HUE (color). Fully saturated means the hue is very vivid.
A saturated red is a red that has not been tainted by any other hue, it is 100% RED.
Intensity of color
DESATURATION involves a saturated hue and its complimentary color. Complementary colors are
opposite each other on the color wheel.
Warm hues are: red-magenta, red, orange and yellow
Cool hues are: blue-magenta or purple, blue, green, cyan and yellow-green
Warm/Cool They are on opposite sides of each other on the color wheel.
Interaction of Color Making a color change its appearance requires two ingredients.
The susceptible color this is the color that will appear to change.
The neighbor color this is the color or tone that will activate the change in the susceptible color.
Split Complementary hues - One of the complementary colors is split off into a pair of neighboring hues.
- Three colors can be assigned to any aspect of the production, allows for more
complex color schemes.
