Colors are created through the change of lights. We see colors everywhere in the world, ranging from a value of light to darker colors. Even one specific color, such as blue, has a variety of blue that goes from light to dark. Although there are many different colors around the world, there are only three primary colors of red, blue, and yellow. By mixing any of these colors together, new colors known as secondary colors are produced. Colors can be mixed together to produce the numerous forms of colors that we see today in many of the designs.
The image above, for example, shows different colored scarves. We see around three forms of blue in the picture. To get the sky bluish color, we can tint the original form of blue by mixing it with white. If we wanted a darker color, we could shade the original blue by mixing it with black. Mixing the amount of white or black will determine how dark or how light the color of something will be. Colors are very diverse because using the three primary colors,mixing can produce a lot of the different colors we are able to see.
From the image above, we also see two scarves of which are white and black. White and black are useful when we want to have a change in values of color. White contains all colors, and creates the different colors we see as it reflects all of them. Black, on the other hand, absorbs all the rays of color. We use both these colors to create what we know as dark or light. Any color added with white will lighten the color, while anything added with black will darken it. Without white, colors would probably not exist because colors are reflected off white.
When we see designs, there are usually a variety of colors that constitute them. It creates variety, such as the variety of color scarves, even though it all originates from one idea. In many designs of society, we often see many that have colors combined together to give us various designs, whether using just one color, or many colors. Designs have diversity because color adds a different feel, whether to the person buying the item/design or to the item/design itself.
