the same color. So, imagine using light blue, dark blue, and medium

11. What are Triads?


Answer - A triad is when you pick three colors that are 120 degrees
apart from each other on this "color clock." For example, if red is at 12
o'clock, yellow might be at 4 o'clock, and blue could be at 8 o'clock.
They're evenly spaced around the circle, making a triangle shape
when you connect them.

12. What are Complimentary Colors?


Answer - Complementary colors are like best friends who are
complete opposites. They make each other look even more special

pair when you use them in art or design.

13. What is the Rectangle Pattern?


Answer - Imagine drawing a rectangle on a circle that shows different

yellow, green, and blue. These colors are evenly spaced around the

or paintings.

14. What is Tint, Tone and Shade?


Answer -
Tint: A tint is created by adding white to a color. It makes the color
lighter and softer. For example, pink is a tint of red because it has
white mixed in.

Tone: A tone is made by mixing gray with a color, which dulls its
brightness. It makes the color less intense. For instance, olive green is
a toned-down version of green with gray mixed in.

Shade: A shade is produced by adding black to a color, which makes


it darker. Shades can give colors a deeper and more dramatic look.
For example, navy blue is a shade of blue because it has black added
to darken it.
