Notions on the Photo Group's second Zoom session on a singular color.

Most of this topic is for the benefit of artists, especially painters, who can use these terms to define their objectives and creations. But also clothing manufacturers and any organization or institution that seeks specificity in the creation or analysis of colors. 

The lightness or darkness of a color is called its value.

Tints are light values that are made by mixing a color or hue with white. For example, pink is a tint of red, and light blue is a tint of blue.
Shades are dark values that are made by mixing a color or hue with black. Maroon is a shade of red, and navy is a shade of blue.
Tones are light values made by mixing shades of grey or mixing both grey and black separately. In Color Theory, a tone is any pure hue with Neutral Gray added. The color remains the same only less vibrant. The Values can range from very light to very dark.

    Hue – the name of a color
    Value – the degree of lightness or darkness in a color. It’s expressed by tones, tints and shades
    Intensity – the degree of purity or strength of a color (hue) or how bright or muted the colors are.

Green has the most shades.
Green, the mixture of blue and yellow, can be seen everywhere and in countless shades. In fact, the human eye sees green better than any color in the spectrum. This, along with many other facts about this earthly color, makes it an essential part of our everyday lives.

Understanding the Color Wheel
•   Three Primary Colors: Red, Yellow, Blue.
•   Three Secondary Colors: Orange, Green, Violet.
•   Six Tertiary Colors: Red-Orange, Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green, Blue-Green, Blue-Violet, Red-Violet, which are formed by mixing a primary with a secondary color.

The more one reads about the theories of color in art the more complex it becomes. For example, on defining shadows:
Shadows are Blue.  Meaning that blue is the general color for most shadows. Most of us think of shadows as being black, however, the shade black is a neutral color. The hue of shadow is in fact blue. And on it goes. 

Hi Alan,

At our Zoom session meeting on 11/1/2020, Sunday, you asked about how many persons were using a trackball mouse. I didn't comment due to the amount of talking but I thought you might like to know that I use a Kensington Orbit Trackball Mouse with Scroll Ring (K72337US) on my HP Omen desktop computer. 

I am very much impressed with it. My hand remains stationary and the cursor control, clicks and scrolling are all by fingertip motion. I can use it all day without my hand getting tired.

It goes for around $32.00 on Amazon.com. Who knows how much elsewhere?

Monochromatic colors are all the colors (tones, tints and shades) of a single hue.


A few observations on the color scheme:

Hue is the term for the pure spectrum colors commonly referred to by the "color names" - red, orange, yellow, blue, green violet - which appear in the hue circle or rainbow. ...

The primary colors consist of three hues (yellow, red and blue) from which we can theoretically mix all other hues.

COLOR is the general term we use to describe every hue, tint, tone or shade we see.

White, Black and Gray are often referred to as a color. A HUE refers to the dominant Color Family of the specific color we're looking at. White, Black and Grey are never referred to as a Hue.

Although mono does mean “one,” this approach to color isn't just using the same single shade in multiple places in your design. Instead, you can create a monochromatic color palette by choosing one base color (traditionally one of the 12 on the color wheel) plus any number of variations of that base.

Monochromatic color schemes are easy to create because they use only one color.

Monochromatic schemes use different tones from the same angle on the color wheel (the same hue).

Black is the absence of light. ... Some consider white to be a color, because white light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. And many do consider black to be a color, because you combine other pigments to create it on paper. But in a technical sense, black and white are not colors, they're shades.

Ransomware: Your biggest security headache refuses to go away.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/ransomware-why-the-internets-biggest-headache-refuses-to-go-away

Just yesterday, my HP Omen Windows 10 2004 received its latest update. It went along OK and wasn't all that long to install. Upon completion of the installation, the screen offered a look at a few of the now current features. Photo viewing and the Magnifier were highlighted, so, I went along for the ride and checked it out. I am not certain as to what the magnifier and viewing offered before yesterday, but I am very much impressed with the newly installed capabilities.

I have been posting a lot of scanned color slides on Facebook that were taken as far back as the late thirties, when Kodak's color film had an ASA setting of 10, and which produced very sharp images. Later, Kodachrome 25 was the basic standard, which also produced very sharp color images. This was especially useful for scenery shots and panoramic stitches. 

Once the photos and dialog are posted on Facebook, they can be both viewed and downloaded, if desired. Downloads can be viewed on one's own viewer(s) and scrutinized for close-in details. However, with today's Windows 10 2004 capabilities, it isn't necessary to download the photographs to extensively view them in large screen and very close-in detail.

In Facebook,  Left mouse-click the image and you will get a partial enlargement. Then, right mouse-click, and select "view image". If desired, left mouse-click for the enlargement of the entire photo. This size of the photo file will determine how large this display will be. Now, the screen reveals only part of the image, but the bars along the side and bottom of the window can move right and left, up and down, to display the various sections of the large photo.  Both a "+" and "-" sign will change the display from full screen to enlarged. You can change back and forth, as needed. 

Then, to scrutinize the details at an even higher resolution, depress the Windows 10 Logo Key and the "+" key, and one of the three magnifier options will appear on your screen. In the case of the Lens option, a window will appear that can be moved around the image by mouse to view its image enlarged by 2 to 5 times. You can preset the dimensions of the lens window in Magnifier Settings. You can choose between lens, docked and full screen in Settings.  To exit the magnifier, depress the Windows 10 Logo key and the Escape key, and it disappears. Nifty. 

These capabilities make it possible to fully view large, high resolution photographs without having to download them.
