This week’s lesson task is about colours and how we can express feelings through our work!
- Having watched the video with Nigel French – describe, in your own words, what each of these colour systems means: RGB and CMYK.
- RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is for web and screen, it’s the primary colours in the colour wheel. when mixing RGB you get the secondary colours CMYK.
- CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key) Is for printing. When printing on paper you have the white paper as a backround colour and mixing CMY to get the colour you want and adding Key to make it darker.
