colors

= =

= = =I really like all colors, and agreed the use depending on my mood. In particular, I identify a lot with the warm colors and strong and I love the black and white. The color you use most of all is blue, perhaps because it makes me feel fresh and I find a color that is easy to combine, their complementary color is orange and another color that I like very much. The blue color like the sky and sea and transmits tranquility.=

= c ol o r, effect produced on the eye and its associated nerves by light waves of different wavelength or frequency. Light transmitted from an object to the eye stimulates the different color cones of the retina, thus making possible perception of various colors in the object.=

=This __color wheel__ shows the **__primary colors__, __secondary colors__**__,__ and the __**tertiary colors**__. It also shows the relationships between __complementary colors__ across from each other on the color wheel, such as ** blue ** and orange ; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other on the color wheel such as **yellow **, green and blue. __**Black** and **white**__ may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. __**White**__ **light** is the presence of all color - __**black**__ is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.=
