Color Exercise #3

Simultaneous Contrast (approx. 30 min)

Create the following pairs of color swatches. I used reds and greens for my hues, but you may choose any two complementary or contrasting hues (blue/yellow, green/magenta, etc.).

1. Pure shade of a hue vs. toned (grayed) tint of the same hue (simultaneous contrast of value, and chroma)

2. Pure tint of hue #1 vs. pure shade of hue #2 (simultaneous contrast of hue and value)

3. Pure-chroma swatch of hue #1 vs. middle tone of hue #2 (simultaneous contrast of hue and chroma)

4. Pure tint of hue #1 vs. toned shade of hue #2  (simultaneous contrast of hue, value, and chroma)
