ROP Computer Graphics - True Colors Assignment

Instructor: Fidel Mejia-Gutierrez - Room 125


This assignment is a modification of the work of Andy Warhol. In this assignment we took a picture and replaced the colors in the original image with one of the following color schemes: Monochromatic, Warm, Cool, Analogous, and Complementary.

Do you know which color scheme is being used in the picture at the left? Can you recognize some of your friends?

Analogous Colors - Any set of three or five adjacent or neighboring colors of the color wheel. An example of such a set would include blue, blue-green, green, yellow-green, yellow. Because each set of colors shares similar colors, there is a harmony to analogous colors.

Complementary Colors - Colors which appear opposite one another on a color wheel. When placed next to one another, complementary colors are intensified and often appear to vibrate. When mixed, brown or gray is created.

Cool Colors - On one half of the color wheel are the cool colors, from yellow-green to violet. Psychologically, cool colors are calming.

Monochromatic Colors - Different shades and tints of a single color.

Warm Colors -- The adjacent colors in the color wheel visually emitting a warm temperature. These colors would be yellow-green, yellow, yellow-orange, orange, red-orange, red, red-violet.
