As a photographer, we learn quickly that light has colour and that this colour can be easily modified. The source of light (a candle, bulb, sun or moon) dictates the light’s colour, however, light colour can change when it bounces off, reflects from or passes through an object. Basically light picks up colour during its travels.
So that we can all see the difference between complementary colours, monochromatic colours, and analogous colours, here are some quick definitions and colour wheels.
Complementary colours – those that are on opposite sides of the colour wheel
Monochromatic colours – colours from a single hue or from one area of the colour wheel
Analagous colours – colours that exist side by side on the colour wheel
Enough with the art lesson! Post pretty pictures!
