Colour Harmony

Harmony can be defined as a pleasing arrangement of parts, whether it be music, objects, color, or even elements. The beauty of the world lies on how one sees things, and you can only see things through a reflection of their colors.

We have three sets of colors. Primary, secondary and tertiary colors which when mixed correctly, compliment each other thus creating an inner sense of order and balance in any visual experience.

The colour wheel.

Today, the Course two’s were learning on color theory and they worked with the color wheel after which they will learn how colour can be associated with one's personality. They were taught how they can mix different colors in their sites to create visual interest of their viewers. They practically made their own color wheels and at the end of the day, they appreciated the power of colors.

Amazingly, the starting point for understanding the relativity of color is by observing the effects colors have on each other.

Just to illustrate this, let’s carry out a small test. Do you think the red squares below are of the same size? And do they harmonize with their backgrounds?


Have a colourful day !!!
