When we mix colours using paint, or through the printing process, we are using the subtractive colour method.

Subtractive colour mixing means that one begins with white and ends with black; as one adds colour, the result gets darker and tends to black.

If we are working on a computer, the colours we see on the screen are created with light using the additive colour method.

Additive colour mixing begins with black and ends with white; as more colours are added, the result is lighter and tends to white.

Colours are generally associated with warmth and others with coldness.

It is said that reds, oranges and yellows are warm while blue, green and violet are cold; being the greatest degree of warmth in red and of coldness in blue.

In the colour wheel all the colours are arranged according to their temperature and there is some uncertainty surrounding areas in the tertiary red violet and yellow green.

Hue is which distinguishes one colour from another

Value synonymous: luminance, brightness

How light or dark a colour is, the tone can lighten if white is added to a tint.
