Penn Foster Color Theory Exam
Questions and Answers 100% Solved
achromatic grays - ✔✔"without color". the term applies to black, white, and
grays made by combining black and white. like black and white, have no
hue and no satiation; only value.
additive color - ✔✔color seen as light: additive color primaries are red,
green, and blue. when they are combined the result is white light
afterimage - ✔✔a common optical effect in which an additional color seems
to appear at the edge of an observed color.
analogous - ✔✔hues that lie adjacent to each other on the spectrum
bridge tones - ✔✔provide a transition between disparate colors.
chromatic darks - ✔✔these are dark chromatic grays that have discernible
temperature and hue.
chromatic grays - ✔✔have a relatively low saturation but still have
discernible hue and temperature.
, color harmony - ✔✔the character of the interrelationships in a group of
colors.
color interaction - ✔✔a colors quality is dependent upon its context
because colors interact with each other where they meet.
color symbolism - ✔✔based upon automatic associations attached to
particular colors or color combinations that are learned and largely
culturally determined.
color temperature - ✔✔when the hue continuum is represented as a circle,
colors can be divided into cool and warm zones.
color wheel - ✔✔any circular depiction of the hue continuum and has been
used for centuries by color theorists.
CMYK - ✔✔refers to the colors used in four-color printing: cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black.
complementary hues - ✔✔any two hues that lie directly opposite each other
on a color wheel.
co-primaries - ✔✔expand the primary triad of red, yellow, and blue into
three pairs that include warm and cool versions of each primary color.
dark transparency - ✔✔an illusionistic transparency wherein the color at the
"overlap" is darker in value than both of the intersecting colors.
