Colour Theory

Split - Complementary

This photo shows an example of split complementary. Split complementary is achieved by using two colours that are opposite either side to the complementary colour you want to use.

Analogous

This photo of analogous mixing shows blue, purple, and pink. This is achieved by mixing three colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel.

Complementary

This photo shows an example of a complementary colour scheme. These are two colours that are on the opposite side of the colour wheel to each other.

Monochromatic

This photo shows an example of a monochromatic. This is one singular colour that can have different shades of the same colour.

Additive Mixing

Additive mixing is mixing lots of colours to make one specific colour. An example of additive mixing is using the encoder wheels to change the colour of the light using CYM.

Subtractive Mixing

Subtractive mixing is taking colours away. An example of subtractive mixing is putting gels in conventional fixtures to change the colour of the beam.
