Quiz Part Two: Color And Technical Aspects Of Photoshop 1/4/13
Color theories create a logical structure for organizing color. Color theory encompasses a multitude of definitions, concepts and design applications. Color is an important aspect of design. Artists in all professions including Media, Advertising, Video and Film, Drawing, Painting, Fine Art and Graphic Design require an in depth knowledge of color and how color works.
A color circle, based on red, yellow and blue, is traditional in the field of art. Sir Isaac Newton developed the first circular diagram of colors in 1666. Since then, scientists and artists have studied and designed numerous variations of this concept.

Questions and Answers
- 1.
There are a number of systems for organizing color. Joseph Albers used this method to organize his theory of color, the same system we have used in class.
- A.
The color tire
- B.
Monochromatic color
- C.
Secondary color
- D.
The color wheel
Correct Answer
D. The color wheelExplanation
Joseph Albers used the color wheel to organize his theory of color, which is the same system that has been taught in class. The color wheel is a circular diagram that represents the relationships between colors. It is divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, and shows how these colors can be combined to create different harmonies and contrasts. Albers likely used the color wheel as a visual tool to explain his theory and demonstrate the principles of color interaction.Rate this question:

Primary colors are considered "primary" because:
- A.
They are the first colors
- B.
They can not be made by mixing other colors
- C.
They can be mixed by using a variety of other colors
- D.
They are the best colors
Correct Answer
B. They can not be made by mixing other colorsExplanation
Primary colors are considered "primary" because they cannot be made by mixing other colors. These colors, such as red, blue, and yellow, are the basic building blocks of color theory. They are pure and cannot be created by combining other colors together. Other colors can be created by mixing primary colors, but primary colors themselves cannot be formed by any combination of other colors.Rate this question:
-
- 3.
Secondary colors can be created by mixing:
- A.
All colors
- B.
2 primary colors
- C.
Terciary colors
- D.
One primary and one secondary color
Correct Answer
B. 2 primary colorsExplanation
Secondary colors can be created by mixing two primary colors. When two primary colors are combined, they create a secondary color. For example, mixing red and blue creates the secondary color purple. Similarly, mixing blue and yellow creates the secondary color green, and mixing red and yellow creates the secondary color orange. Therefore, the correct answer is that secondary colors can be created by mixing two primary colors.Rate this question:

In traditional color theory (used in paint and pigments), primary colors are the 3 pigment colors that can not be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In traditional color theory, primary colors are considered to be the three pigment colors that cannot be created by mixing any other colors together. These primary colors, which are typically red, blue, and yellow, are fundamental and are used as the basis for creating all other colors. Mixing primary colors together can result in secondary colors, such as orange, green, and purple, but primary colors themselves cannot be formed by combining any other colors. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct in this context.Rate this question:

Tertiary Colors are created are created by mixing:
- A.
Primary colors
- B.
A primary and one secondary
- C.
All colors
- D.
Blue, red , yellow
Correct Answer
B. A primary and one secondaryExplanation
Tertiary colors are created by mixing a primary color with one secondary color. This means that when you combine a primary color (red, blue, or yellow) with a secondary color (orange, green, or purple), you create a tertiary color. For example, mixing red (primary) with orange (secondary) creates a tertiary color called red-orange. Similarly, mixing blue (primary) with green (secondary) creates a tertiary color called blue-green. This process allows for a wider range of colors to be created by combining different shades and hues.Rate this question:
