Introduction
As we prepare for the upcoming fall semester we are reminded of warm color palettes and rich textures.
COLOR TERMINOLOGY
Color terminology sourced from: https://www.dunnedwards.com/colors/specs/posts/color-terminology-hues-tints-shades-and-tones
What are hues?
Hues: Hues describe a pure color that is found on the color wheel and has had nothing added to it to change its properties.
Tint Definition in Art
Tints: What is a tint in art? Tints are created when white is added to any hue on the color wheel. This process lightens and desaturates the hue.
Color Tone Terminology
Tones: Tones are created when grey is added to a color. The final tone depends on the amount of black and white used, and tones may be lighter or darker than the original hue.
Shade Color Definition
Shades: Shades are created when black is added to any hue found on the color wheel. This process darkens the hue and creates a more intense color.
Texture
Rich textured accessories tend to add to the warmth of a space. Items like blankets, throws, and baskets in warm colors can bring out the fall feel in a space. Also, bring the outside in with fall foliage, floral, and gourds. They can be used separately or combined for added interest. Enjoy mixing it up a little this fall season!
