Colour Theory Part 3.......
Today's post is about colour schemes, which normally includes four types of colours but I will only be posting one and the other three colours will be posted on a different post to break it down for you.The colour schemes you will be learning about today is monochromatic colours, how they are formed and how to use them in fashion, beauty or even home decorating.
Monochromatic colours schemes
Monochromatic colour schemes consist of a single hue (base colour) and that hues variations of Value and Intensity of that colour. A monochromatic colour scheme can be created by taking a hue from the colour wheel and creating different shades of it with a certain amount of black, white or grey (white and black) added to it. Adding white to a hue (base colour) is called a tint, adding grey to it is called a tone and adding black to it is called a shade.
Example:
The base colour or hue taken from the colour wheel in this example is RED, when added with a white color you get a tint of red and when added with a grey colour you get a tone of red and finally when added with black you get a shade of red.
