Research and written lesson task (3 hours)

• Having watched the video with Nigel French – describe, in your own words, what each of these colour systems means: RGB and CMYK.
• Make use of Adobe Colour and develop four different colour schemes. Please hand in screenshots of your schemes:
  • Monochromatic
  • Complementary
  • Triadic
  • Analogous

RGB stands for red, green, blue and it’s an additive color model that is used for sensing, representation, and display of images on screens. The colors in this model is created with light, this means that the mixing begins with black and ends with white, the more color you add the lighter it gets. So if you are making something that is gonna be used on a screen you use the RGB model, if you are printing something you are using the CMYK model.

CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, key(black) and it’s an subtractive color model that is used for printing. And this color model is the opposite of the RGB witch mean that it begins with white and ends with black.
