7-2 COLOR POSSIBILITIES
All the values, hues and saturations are taken
directly from the painting. This will have the effect of unifying the whole
package. The gold on the frame already echoes the yellow of the painting.
What color will you ultimately choose? What will be its value, hue and
saturation? Try and think of these as a combined choice (ie medium value,
green hue, highly satureated)
1.VALUE
Light is absorbed at the back of the eye by cells (cones) sensitive
to red, blue and green wavelenghts and seem to be responsible for color
vision in daylight. In dim light the 'rods' take over, which are more sensitive
to blue-green light, and distinguish clearly between values of light and
shade. This is why squinting helps you determine the value of
a color.
