The Impact 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.

The study of this theory is very detailed since it requires the person conducting the study to have a rich background on different forms of pigmentation present. There are two major categories of Chroma which are the primary and secondary pigments. Primary pigments include red, green and blue and are commonly denoted as RGB in chromatography. These components are very useful since they form the background of formation of other paints.

The other category composed of several dyes that are initially made from the primary ones. They include magenta, cyan, and yellow among others. It is important to note that the dyes included in this category do not originally exist. They are formed from the primary dyes through mixing of different paints in some set ratios.

During the performance of experiments and writing down of the theory, some assumption were made to make their models more relevant. One of the major assumption that was used is that most paints used in the study are miscible and form solutions that have even distribution of pigments. Unlike the case, this is not true in reality since paints have different densities which make them not to mix easily. To defend their route they said that paints cannot mix only in presence of an impurity which affects its molecular structure.

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.

Some traits were found to be unique for different paints. One of this trait is ability to give off light. Light colored paints have high reflective ability thus they appear brighter. Dull colored paints absorb more light and reflect less. To increase the amount reflected they are combined with white which is very reflective.

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.
