Analogous Harmony

Nature is the teacher and the first factor that controls the tastes and inclinations of individuals when they judge the extent of color harmony, so we see that their judgments have been derived

Its foundations are from the succession of colors and their arrangement in nature, for the rainbow (which we all see after the sky rains) consists of a group of adjacent colors in a fixed order, and it never happened that an individual described them as discordant colors, rather they are colors

Harmonious, and this is what makes this natural arrangement an aesthetic experience that settles in the souls of people, which they take as a criterion when they judge the extent of the harmony of the colors in which the human age overlaps in their arrangement or placement. 2 - blue, green and yellow - yellow, orange and red. Harmony is also available if two of the D groups are in contact

Therefore, the interconnected series of colors are considered harmonious colors (1) (Fig. 28, p. 103), and as you can see in the following groups:

The previous ones (such as joining the second and third groups) are as follows. Blue, green, yellow, orange, red (this is the same arrangement as the colors of the spectrum in nature). x

Harmony is present even if the previous colors are completely pure. However, it is not desirable at all to combine two closely related colors that are highly saturated and occupy two equal areas (such as blue with cyan) or (crimson with red). And each of them works to attract the attention of the seer towards him. Such a group is considered dissonant (2) even though they are interconnected colors.

Contrary to the foregoing, the interconnected colors would be harmonious, if they did not occupy equal areas and decrease their saturation by being tinted with white (so they became of the Pastel colours family). Such a group is suitable for pictures of light and fun subjects, such as pictures of children, for example. This condition is known as High key analogous harmony

Likewise, harmony remains if the saturation of the origins of all these colors is decreased by mixing them with a neutral black or existing gray color. However, such a group is more suitable for pictures of sad, serious, solemn subjects, and you know

This case is called Low key analogous harmony, and assuming that the degrees of saturation of the origins of some of these interconnected colors differ within narrow limits, such as the use of the origins of two colors (for example), harmony remains available as well, provided that the spaces occupied by each color differ, such as: (1) Green mixed with gray Shaded gray , then pure green , then .

(b) Tinted yellow or dark brown, then dark red and a little light red and white (the majority of oil paintings by Dutch artist Rembrandt fall under

this species).
