Color issues in 1st assignment...
Overall assessment: everyone needs to know more on color theory. I'll add more info on this over time. Familiarize yourself with these terms:
Every color has three properties: Hue, Value and Intensity.
Hue: This is the quality we identify by a color name such as "red" or "purple." It corresponds to the distinctive wavelength of a color. In order to change the hue of a color we must mix another color with it. If a little green is mixed with blue, the resulting change from blue to greenish-blue is a change in hue.
Value: This is how light or dark a color appears, referring to the relation of a color to white or black, which we indicate when we say a light blue or a dark blue. This means a blue that is higher or lower in value than the normal spectrum of blue. In order to change the value of a color we need to mix it with something lighter or darker than itself. By mixing black or white with a color we change its value without changing its hue.
Intensity: Refers to how bright or dull a color appears; also called saturation and/or chromaticity. Basically, how much of the hue is identifiable. Grays are achromatic, meaning they have no hue or color and are therefore low in intensity. A primary red, on the other hand, would be completely saturated and therefore extremely intense and high in chromaticity. Hues reach their full intensity at different values; for example, yellow would reach its full intensity higher on a scale of grays than red or blue.
