Principles of Color Interaction
*Light/Dark Value Contrast
**A color will appear darker on a lighter ground,and will appear lighter on dark ground
*Complementary Reaction or Effect
**Causes simultaneous contrast.Because our eye seeks complements of any given color,for example a red will appear more saturated on green
*Subtraction
**Color subtraction is like a color equation, for instance if a yellow
orange is on an orange ground, the orange will subtract itself:YO-O=Y, causing the yellow orange to appear more yellow
