A pure flat gray is considered the lowest chromatic intensity. Tube paints like cadmium red, cadmium yellow or ultramarine blue (the primaries) are considered the highest chromatic (also called Chroma) intensity or alternatively, the maximum color saturation. CHROMATIC INTENSITY: The intensity of the color or hue.A low key painting uses only the lower values. A high key painting uses only the higher values. Key is also another term used by artists in relation to a completed painting. Artists often divide the scale into 10 gradations from white to black. The lowest or darkest value is pure black. The highest or lightest value is pure white. I do that with Photoshop by taking a color picture with my camera and then turning it to gray scale mode. In fact, you can compare values in a painting by taking a black and white (gray scale) photo of your painting.
It’s the blackness or whiteness as if seen in a gray scale reproduction. It’s how light or dark the color is with the color removed. VALUE: The lightness or darkness of a color.The color or hue of a gray can be as intensely bent toward any of the primary or secondary colors as you wish, it is still classified as a gray because it contains all three primaries. Grays can also be very colorful like blue gray, red gray, green gray, etc. A flat neutral gray is made from using all three primaries in order to get a pure, neutral flat gray. Another term for a tertiary color is called a GRAY. Tertiary colors are made from all three primaries. Notice I said “any two primaries” not any of the three primaries mixed together. Secondary colors are made from any two primaries. Secondary hues are mixed from the primaries. They are called primaries because every other color (hue) can be made from them. The primary hues are red, yellow and blue. Color and hue in painting mean the same thing to most artists. HUE: In painting color theory, a hue refers to a pure color – one without white or black pigment added to it.Here is the definition for hue, value and chromatic intensity. It’s a good idea to start thinking in these terms because it’s fundamental to making an entire painting read right with depth recession. Instead, I think in terms of the Properties of color: hue, value and chromatic intensity.
People often ask me what colors (or hues) did you use to get that? It’s not that simple. The term “Color” generally has a broad meaning. We’ve all heard about hue, value and chromatic intensity but one thing most instructors don’t talk about is how these color properties relate in a well executed painting.
