colours, terms and variations

Hue: The attribute of colour which enables an observer to classify it as red, blue, yellow etc. Each colour has a different wavelength and frequency. Infra red has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. Ultra violet light has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency. In between are all the colours of the rainbow.

At quantum level, light exhibits paradoxically both a wave function and a particle form [photons] depending on the experimental conditions set by an observer. Because of this we can theorise about ‘packets of energy’ being intrinsic to photons.

The energy of a particular colour is directly proportional to its frequency. Low frequency infra red is low energy light and high frequency ultra violet is high energy light. High energy ultra violet [UV ray] is well known by sun bathers as potentially dangerous light. On the other hand birds of prey use it for stalking their quarry – the victims urine leaves a trail which is visible courtesy of the bird eye UV receptors. The term eagle eyes is well founded!

Tint: A Hue with white added

Shade: A Hue with black added

Tone: A Hue with grey added

Complementary colours: Colours opposite each other on the colour wheel [a way of representing the entire colour spectrum in circular format – which if spun rapidly appears white. [‘White’ contains all colour potentialities. Black is the absence of colour.]

Using complementary colours in your environment gives a balance of the three primary pigments – red, blue and yellow.

Red complements green [yellow + blue]
Yellow complements violet [red + blue]
Blue complements orange [red + yellow]
