Having finished this book, I have decided to rewrite the review. Here is what I like about this writer and this novel: A triadic colour scheme is one that uses three colours with one dominant shade and two equally spaced out accents – think of a triangle placed on the colour wheel – common colours are red, yellow and blue, purple, green and orange, and blue-purple, red-orange and yellow-green. Not for the faint-hearted – if you love bold colours this colour range are for you. Under well-lit viewing conditions (photopic vision), cones ...are highly active and rods are inactive."

The numbers refer to the percentages used for each colour. Allow 60% of coverage for your dominant colour, 30% secondary and 10% for your accent. This makes it even easier to ensure a beautifully balanced scheme overall. In pursuit of their dreams, and later of each other, they pit themselves against some of the island's most hostile terrain. These are the sequences in the novel that will stay with you. Buildings collapse without warning in the heat, or are entirely scoured away by drought and wind. Terrible snows and floods arrive suddenly, with disastrous consequences.

Harmonious colours (also known as analogous colours) sit next to each other on the colour wheel. They are the most widely used in interior design, and it’s easy to see why. The name 'harmonious' says it all. Choosing adjacent colours is a simple way of creating a harmonious scheme that’s easy to live with.

Color reproduction is the science of creating colors for the human eye that faithfully represent the desired color. It focuses on how to construct a spectrum of wavelengths that will best evoke a certain color in an observer. Most colors are not spectral colors, meaning they are mixtures of various wavelengths of light. However, these non-spectral colors are often described by their dominant wavelength, which identifies the single wavelength of light that produces a sensation most similar to the non-spectral color. Dominant wavelength is roughly akin to hue. A colour wheel is a tool used in art and design to show colours and their relationship to each other. This is one aspect of colour theory. A mismatched couple marry, and then travel from their native England to New Zealand to seek a new life, and escape their pasts, but when the husband finds a tiny amount of gold in a stream near the plot of land from which they are trying to scratch a living, it sets off an inescapable chain of events.In the RYB colour model, the primary colours are red, blue and yellow. These three colours can mix together to create any colour found on the colour wheel. No colours can be mixed together to create these three colours. Colors are an important part of visual arts, fashion, interior design, and many other fields and disciplines. Colors have perceived properties such as hue, colorfulness (saturation) and luminance. Colors can also be additively mixed (commonly used for actual light) or subtractively mixed (commonly used for materials). If the colors are mixed in the right proportions, because of metamerism, they may look the same as a single-wavelength light. For convenience, colors can be organized in a color space, which when being abstracted as a mathematical color model can assign each region of color with a corresponding set of numbers. As such, color spaces are an essential tool for color reproduction in print, photography, computer monitors and television. The most well-known color models are RGB, CMYK, YUV, HSL and HSV.

In 1931, an international group of experts known as the Commission internationale de l'éclairage ( CIE) developed a mathematical color model, which mapped out the space of observable colors and assigned a set of three numbers to each. Paletton colour wheel. Paletton‘s interface is a little more complex than the previous options, but you get precise control over your choice of colours and various ways of previewing your palette. Hue: Hue is essentially any colour that can be chosen from the colour wheel. You can adjust the saturation and luminance of a hue. Individual colors have a variety of cultural associations such as national colors (in general described in individual color articles and color symbolism). The field of color psychology attempts to identify the effects of color on human emotion and activity. Chromotherapy is a form of alternative medicine attributed to various Eastern traditions. Colors have different associations in different countries and cultures. [19]Colors, their meanings and associations can play a major role in works of art, including literature. [18] Associations
