Colour definitions

Colour- what you get back from an object when the light the struck it reflects back into your eyes.
Colour is one of the most important aspects of photography. The colours in a photograph will change the way we see it and the message it gives.
 For example, images theta are dark/dull in colour can give an effect of sadness, however, bright, saturated colours will make the picture seem happy and cheerful.

There are many different types of colour and ways to describe colour.
Firstly, the level of saturation in the colour is how intense and bright it is. The higher the saturation level, the brighter and more vivid the colour is.

Some colours can be described as muted colours, meaning they have den mixed with grey to create a grey, muted tone.

There are also Analogous colours. These are colours that are parallel to each other on the colour wheel, meaning they go well together in the same photography or piece of art.
