• What is color ……………….?• COLOR is a visual effect

resulting from the eye's ability to distinguish the different wavelengths or frequencies of light. The apparent color of an object depends on the wavelength of the light that it reflects. In white, or normal, light, an opaque object that reflects all wavelengths appears white and one that absorbs all wavelengths appears black. Any three primary, or spectral, colors can be combined in various proportions to produce any other color sensation.

• COLOR ME KNOWLEDGEABLE

Honey, does this red shirt and orange tie look OK together?”We don’t need a degree in color engineering, but a lot hinges on this!  Everyday you put together many elements of your attire.  Your choice of the colors you mix and match can make a significant impression on how you look to others.Colors are like kids and employees.  Some work together, and get along just fine; others always fight.Why pink for little girls and blue for little boys?  An old European fairly tale had baby girls springing forth from pink roses!  Blue is the color of the heavens and parents thought it would protect infant sons from the Devil!

• Color is energy, if you’re wearing the colors that are right for you, you’ll look dynamic.  Color coordination not only makes you look good, but also gives you an organized and professional image.

• Men have it easier than women in the color world since most business is conducted in navy, or gray suits, white or blue shirts, and only in our ties and pocket squares are we “allowed” the freedom to get colorful

three basic properties have been designated to identify the dimensions, or qualities, of color: such as

• 1) hue, the name of a color;

2) value, the degree of lightness or darkness in a color, can be expressed by shades, tints, and tones;

3) and intensity (saturation or chroma), the degree of purity or strength of a color (hue) or how bright or muted the colors .

• A visual presentation of some color terms:

•  HUE • The pure color (for example

RED) TONE Hue + small amount of gray or opposite color (will mute or tone down the color TINT Hue + White (will lighten the color) COMPLEMENT TINT  Tint + small amount of gray or opposite color (will mute or tone down the color) SHADE Hue + Black (will darken the color)

• Warm and CoolFamilies of analogous colors include warm colors (red, orange, yellow) and cool colors (green, blue, violet). Designers often build color schemes around two or three related colors.

• Select two warm colors with one cool or two cool with one warm to create dynamic harmony.  Examples:  navy suit, light blue shirt and red tie, or a yellow shirt, rust jacket and blue jeans

• Monochromatic:  all one color, but different shades, tones or tints.

• Neutral: dress in shades of white, black, gray or beige.  Khaki pants, white shirt and a gray sweater are all neutrals.  It may not be a dynamic look, but it is sophisticated. 

• Seasonal Colors: Some colors are more appropriate at certain times of year than others. Pastels are usually associated with spring/summer, while autumn colors are rust, brown, green, and burgundy. Wearing rust in the summer, or light yellow in the fall looks out of place

• Think contrast.  Try one light element with two dark, or one dark with two lights, such as a charcoal suit, white shirt and red tie, or tan suit with yellow shirt and green tie. Or Khaki pants and a dark blue shirt.

• Color Value: Dark colors recede thus making you look thinner, and light colors project, which tends to bulk you up.  Dark colors are more formal than light.

• Color Wheel: An arrangement of colors sequentially in a circular pattern so that each secondary color lies between the two primary colors of which it is an equal mixture, and opposite the primary color to which it is the complement.  Each tertiary color is positioned between the primary and secondary colors of which it is an equal mixture.  

This image is an example of a secondary color wheel. A secondary color wheel contains the three primary colors - red, yellow and blue - as well as the three secondary colors - orange, green and violet

The tertiary color wheel contains the six colors of the secondary color wheel, plus the 6 tertiary colors - red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red-violet.

What about white, black, brown and gray? Well, it is commonly said that white and black are not colors. When dealing with light, white is the presence of all colors and black is the absence of all colors
