2 The three elements of color; the three elements specifically refer to the hue, purity, and lightness of the color. They have different properties.
Hue refers to the appearance characteristics of colors and their differences. Because of the different wavelengths of light waves acting on the human retina, people have different colors. Hue specifically refers to red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Their wavelengths are different, with red, orange, and yellow light waves that have a strong impact on human vision. The blue, green and violet light waves are short and the impact force is weak. Hue mainly reflects the inherent color and warmth of things.
Purity refers to the degree of pigment saturation. The purity of color reflects the sense of quantity of things, and their purity is different. That is, high-purity color and low-purity color show different senses of things. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple are the highest purity. In each color, such as red, vermillion, pink, and blush, the purity is lower than that of red, and the purity between them is also different.
Brightness refers to the extent to which the color is dark and light. All colors have a difference between light and dark levels. This level is "black", "white" and "gray". Among the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, the brightest of the brightest colors is yellow, orange, and green, red and green are again, and the darkest are blue and purple.

Cold and warm colors. The green, blue, and purple phases can give people a feeling of quietness and coolness that are similar to cold, while red, orange, and yellow phases can give people a feeling of warmth, warmth, and excitement that are close to warm.
