The relative atributes that define all colors are:

The first circular diagram was developed in 1666 by Isaac Newton.

The circular diagram contains : primary colors, secondary colors and tertiary colors.

The primary colors are Red, Blu and Green.

A mix between 2 primary colors form a secondary color.

Analogues colors- are groups of colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel,with one being dominant color which tends to be primary or secondary color and two on other side complementing.

An analogue color scheme creates a rich,monochromatic look.

Complementary colors- any of two colors which are directly opposite each other on the wheel.

Achromatic colors- white, black, all shadows of grey and all neutral colors

Chromatic colors- highly colored

Monochromatic color- all colors of a single hue

Color context- how colors behave in relations to other colors and shapes

Color harmony- can be defined as a pleasing arangement of shapes or colours. Something that is pleasing for eyes.
