Colour Theory

  • Two types of colour - colours you can touch and color you can't touch.
  • Touched colours are called subtractive; additive is colour you can't touch.
  • Subtractive is measured in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow)
  • Additive is measured by RGB (red, green, blue)
  • Humans process color via HSL - hue, saturation, lightness
