Munsell color diagram imagining color to be displayed as a perfect cylinder with many layers Before the age of computers, this system was developed by Professor Albert H. Munsell. Starting in 1905, he continued to work on this until his death in 1918 and was used later in the 1930s by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as the official color system for soil research. However, soil or dirt is one of the basic forms of pigments used in ink, and so because Munsell’s…

Color Harmony Definitions – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics-3
•\ Square: When dealing with four or more colors, there are a few harmony variety themes that can be created. The most common is the tetradic or double complement (square). Each color is set at 90 degrees to the other and then complements the opposite color. Note that another variation on this tetradic theme is the double split complementary, which is more rectangle-like than you looked at earlier, but this time, using the custom from the color harmony list with one of the swatches together with the other, you could create the custom setting. Swatches for the square can be moved inward and outward and spun around while keeping the…

The Science of Color – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics-3
RGB can capture more colors than the CMYK model, but the area doesn’t equally overlap in all cases, and that is why your monitor (additive) cannot accurately tell you how a printed (subtractive) item will look. These ranges can vary from media to media depending on what is trying to reproduce the color range. Over time, some designers have tried to find ways to compensate. For example, to capture yellow better on a TV screen, they have attempted to add a yellow light to the RGB known as Quattron (QuadPixel technology) to get a higher range of colors in the yellow. However, this technology only apparently lets through more red…
