Distinctions emerge from the hued primary colors, which are arranged in a triangular or quadruple configuration in the color circle. Physically, the three primary colors are Rotorange, Green, and Blueviolett (RGB, additive Mischung von Lichtfarben). Psychologically, the primary colors are red, yellow, green, and blue. A Krperfarbenmischung with specified pigments may be created using the three primary colors Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow (cmy, subtractive mixture of Krperfarben). [7] A common criterion of order is the arrangement of complementary colors inside a diametral circle. Two complementary colors combine to create Wei, Grau, or Black. However, depending on the method of mixing (additive, subtractive, or optical) and the color selection (Lichtfarbe, Kristallfarbe, virtuelle Farbe), distinct color pairs and other color distributions emerge in the color circle. To be precise, some color theorists assign complementary color pairs only on the basis of their (individual) perception.
Johannes Itten's Color Circle The Swiss painter Johannes Itten created a color circle using the three primary colors (gelb, rot, and blau) and depicted the mixtures of the primary colors. Twenty-five were created by combining the primary colors orange (from yellow and red), green (from yellow and blue), and violett (from blue and red); he then created further mixtures and reintroduced them into the color wheel.
Johannes Itten's 1961 color circle is only one of several. Despite this, he continues to be popular as color circles associated with well-known personalities such as Newton or Goethe. This fact suggests that Johannes Itten was successful in demonstrating the relationships between colors using few colors in a simple geometrische representation. He recently used 12 colors in his model. The three primary colors of blue, green, and red serve as the foundation. The term "Farben erster Ordnung" is used here. When two primary colors are mixed, a so-called Sekundrfarbe ("Farbe zweiter Ordnung") results. Gr14n is formed when blue and green are combined, violet is formed when blue and red are combined, and orange is formed when blue and red are combined. The three secondary colors expand Itten's color palette to a total of six hues. Six more accent colors round out the cheerful presentation. These intermediate colors are comparable to middle values in mathematics and should not be confused with Tertir colors, which result from the mixing of Sekundr colors. Tertirfarben sind überall im braunen und olivgrünen Farbbereich zu finden and are therefore unattractive for this model. As one would expect from the name, it has two distinct secondary colors in addition to the three primary colors, which means that color is mixed with complementr color.
Itten, Johannes (1888-1969)
Johannes Itten (1888-1969), Zeichenlehrer am Bauhaus, was a pioneer in the field of color typography via his teaching ability and collaborative work with students. Itten conducted research on the effect of colors in addition to his teaching duties as a painter at the Bauhaus Weimar. As a painter, he was particularly interested in the interaction of form and color. Both the assignment of colors to shapes and the inverse behavior provided him with invaluable knowledge during his collaboration with his students, which he included into his theory.
