Color is something that people in the field of both arts and science would have to learn about because it is a thing of everyday life. Now when learning about pigments and shades, one will first be learning the basics which deals more on the basic colors and mixing them. Of course when that is done, one will then be going on to the advanced color theory.

Just to give an idea for those who do not know, the basics would deal with the Color wheel that was first coined by Sir Isaac Newton. Basically, the wheel shows the different kinds of mixes of shades that would stem out from mixing the primary colors. The primary colors are red, yellow and blue and every other color is just a mix of these three.

Now after learning the basics, one will be moving on to the advanced lessons where he will encounter a little bit more computations. Now basically he will be learning about shades, brightness, and other things. However, the most basic things that he will at least learn would be the hue, chromaticity or chroma, saturation level, the value, and luminance.

Now the very first concept that one will learn about would be the hue. Now in a nutshell, the hue is the measurement on how much one primary color differs from the other two. This would actually be measured on how much light the primary colors give off and how strong they are.

The second concept that would be taught to the students would be the chroma which measures how colorful a pigment is. Now this is strongly related to the hue because it actually depends on how strong the hue is. Now if one would say that the hue is weak in a particular color, then it is known to be more colorful and vice versa.

The next thing that will be taught would be the saturation or in simple terms, the intensity. Now intensity simply means the amount of brightness that a certain shade produces and how strong it is to the eyes. Some colors that would have high saturation would be red, yellow, and other secondary colors that would contain these primary ones.

The second to the last concept is known as value. Now value is the actual measurement of the brightness. When one would say that a certain shade has a high value, he would mean that the shade has a high level of brightness.

The final concept that would be taught is the concept of luminance. Now the measurement of luminance is actually connected to the value and the saturation except the luminance deals a lot with mathematical formulas with its measurements. The luminance is measured in intensity per unit and can be calculated by getting the average of a few colors.

So for those who are learning about the basics of color, this is what they will learn when going to a higher level. The first step would be learning about primary colors and mixing them. The advanced lessons will concentrate on the details of colors and the math.
