The Role Of Advanced Color Theory

By Alta Alexander


There are many paints that are available in the markets. In order to achieve favorable paints that are required to perform painting to give certain results, mixing of different paints is carried out. Mixing of the concoctions is carefully done where certain criterion are adhered to ensure the correct outcome is realized. This process of mixing paints to form new colors is referred to as advanced color theory.

Many theories have been developed over time. Despite having some similar components, this theory is very useful and should be studied. It deals with classification of dyes where by it gives two major groups in which any available dye can fall in. These groups are the primary and secondary pigments. Research found out that the primary category comprised of three commonly used Chroma which are red, green and blue. This grouped forms the backbone of studying chromatography.

Secondary and tertiary pigments are derived from the primary ones. To produce these paints, primary dyes are mixed in well-defined ratios to give the expected outcomes. These paints cannot be used to develop other paints since they are cannot mix easily. Cyan, yellow, magenta (CYMK) is the notation used to give the secondary dyes.

When developing this model of study, the scientists made some assumptions that aimed at improving credibility of their models. They argued out that all dyes present can mix perfectly forming one solution whose pigmentation is very uniform. They attributed any instances of paints refusing to form a uniform solution to effects brought about by impurities and differences in densities of paints. However, this is not true since from the present day experiments they have proved that not all dyes are miscible.

When painting is done, it is mostly to the outside of structures. However individual perception and inner world plays an important role. The advanced theory suggests that exterior light is more aligned to green while inner light has more of magenta. This variation is brought about by the intensity of light illuminated on the objects in place.

The study of this subject is very important in our lives since it influences how things appear in the world. Painters and scientists rely mainly on this knowledge to mix different paints leading to generation of more paints. It has also enabled classification of all available colors making their use and selection rather easier by other users who are not well informed in this field.

The study brought about some specific traits that were used to differentiate all paints. One of this finding was on ability to give of light when laminated with some beams of light. Different paints have different luminance. White has the highest ability to reflect and can be added to other dull paints thus improving their reflective ability. Black reflects little light and effort to increase its ability is through introduction of lighter dyes.

Another trait given to dyes is saturation. This is a measure that is conducted to evaluate how far a certain dye is from being gray. This is done by exposing the particular dye to a specific light intensity. Those near middle grey are said to be unsaturated unlike the more vibrant ones which are termed as saturated.
