| transparency | visual quality where a distant image/element can be seen through a nearer one |
| chromatic | pertaining to the presence of color |
| additive color | color created by superimposing light rays |
| achromatic value | relating to differences of light and dark; the absence of color |
| analogous colors | colors that are closely related in hues; adjacent on the color wheel |
| chroma | purity of color or its freedom from white, black, or gray;intensity of hue |
| color tetrad | four colors equally spaced on color wheel containing a primary,its complement and complementary pair of intermediates |
| chromatic value | value demonstrated by a given color |
| neutralized color | color that has been grayed or reduced in intensity by being mixed with any of the neutrals or with a complementary color |
| primary color | preliminary color that can't be separated into other colors |
| pigments | color substances giving their color property to another material by mixing with or covering it |
| neutrals | color altered by addition of its complement so that the original sensation of hue is lost or grayed |
| secondary color | color produced mixture of two primary colors |
| subtractive color | sensation of color produced when wavelengths of light reflect after all others are taken away/absorbed |
| spectrum | band of colors resulting when a beam of white light breaks into component wavelengths,identifiable as hues |
| tertiary color | color resulting from mixing two secondary colors having the neutralized of intensity and hue |
| split complement | a color and the two colors on either side of its complement |
| monochromatic | one color; range of value of one color from white to black |
| color triad | equilateral triangle on color wheel;three colors that are equally spaced.There's a primary one, a secondary, and two intermediates. |
| intensity | saturation,strength,or purity of a color |
| low-key color | color with a value level of middle grey or darker |
| hue | determined by a specific wavelength of the color in a ray of light.It indicates its position in the spectrum/color wheel |
| intermediate color | mixture of a primary and a secondary color |
| complementary color | two colors opposite of each other on the color wheel.An example,what a primary is to a secondary. |
| high-key color | color with a value level of middle grey or lighter |
| color perception | psychophysiological reality of color |
| Delacroix | founder of artists' tendency to construct works upon logical,objective color principles. |
