AAMI COLOR AND COSMETICS FINAL QUESTIONS
In 1666, Sir Isaac Newton discovered that sunlight is composed of: - Answer -Seven
pure colors which are:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
Years later, when converting this theory of color into the Color Wheel, scientists
eliminated: - Answer -Indigo because of the closeness to blue. Now we use purple to
cover BOTH violet and indigo
Color is measured in terms of _______, with ____ being the longest and ___ being at
the short end - Answer -wavelength
red
deep violet
Reflection: - Answer -Is the return of light from a surface.
Chromatic Colors - Answer -Are the colors of the spectrum plus those colors produced
by their mixture.
They are said to be PURE COLORS.
Pure colors come directly from the Spectrum.
They are not adulterated (or changed) by black, white or gray.
Hue: - Answer -Refers to the name of the color and tells whether it is warm or cool.
Is the property of a color that distinguishes it from another color.
It is the word used to describe the color.
Achromatic Colors - Answer -Without color'.
Black, white and gray are considered achromatic colors.
They DO NOT appear in the spectrum and therefore will not be called HUES.
They are considered neutral.
Pigment: - Answer -Is a coloring matter which can be applied to an object.
COLOR has Three Dimensions, they are: - Answer -1. HUE
2. VALUE
3. INTENSITY
What are the Primary Colors? - Answer -Red
Yellow
Blue
, Intermediate hues/colors - Answer -Are the mixture in EQUAL parts of a Primary Hue
and a Secondary Hue. The hues MUST be next to each other on the color wheel. The
primary hue always comes first
How many intermediate hues are there? - Answer -6
Primary red + Secondary orange = - Answer -Intermediate red-orange
Primary yellow + Secondary orange = - Answer -Intermediate yellow-orange
Primary yellow + Secondary green = - Answer -Intermediate yellow-green
Primary blue + Secondary green = - Answer -Intermediate blue-green
Primary blue + Secondary purple = - Answer -Intermediate blue-purple
Primary red + Secondary purple = - Answer -Intermediate red-purple
3 Primary hues + 3 Secondary hues = - Answer -6 Intermediate Hues
Prang System of Color - Answer -Is the Color Wheel with all 12 colors
Warm Colors - Answer -Colors which are at the red end of the spectrum; they have the
longest wavelengths. Make an object appear closer and larger and reflect warmth.
Red, Orange, Yellow
Cool Colors - Answer -Colors at the opposite end of the spectrum; they have the
shortest wavelengths. They create an impression of coldness and make an object
appear to recede
Green, Blue, and Purple
What color is considered to be the warmest color? - Answer -Orange
What color is considered to be the coolest? - Answer -Blue
Tertiary Colors - Answer -They are Slates (Grays) and Browns. They are NOT found on
the Color Wheel. They are NOT in the Spectrum. They are the result of the mixture of
Complements in UNEQUAL amounts
If orange is > than blue, _____ would be the resulting color - Answer -Brown
If blue is > than orange, ____ would be the resulting color - Answer -Gray (slate)
VALUE is: - Answer -The second dimension of color. It deals with
lightness or darkness of the color. Value explains colors according to lightness or
darkness
