Rather then using white paint, the artist lets the raw color of the watercolor paper represent the color white. To lighten a color, dilute the pigment with more water. White pigment may be applied opaquely for highlighting. COLOR: Described by three characteristics – hue, value and intensity. HUE: The name of a particular color. Example: Blue, orange, green, yellow, etc. VALUE: The relative lightness or darkness of a color (refer to Value Scale). INTENSITY (Chroma, Saturation): The purity of a color which determines its relative brightness or dullness. NEUTRAL GRAY: A balanced combination of white and black. PRIMARY COLORS: Red, yellow and blue are the basic colors and cannot be made from mixing other colors. SECONDARY COLORS: Orange, green and violet – each made by mixing two primary colors. TERTIARY COLORS: Six colors, made by mixing one primary color with an adjacent secondary color. WARM (Advancing) COLORS: Reds, oranges and yellows. COOL (Receding) COLORS: Greens, blues and violets.
