The theory and practice of color . ness of that Color with astep in the Neutral Value Scale. We can say Red at High Light, if wemean a pale tone of red, or Red at High Dark, if we mean a tone of redthat is a little darker than the normal. In this way we can locate thelightness or darkness of any Color tone. In the Value Scale shown facing page 9, two colors, blue-green andred-orange, are arranged in graded tones on either side of the NeutralScale. Observe that both of these colors show their full intensities atMiddle Value. There are other colors, however, whose full intensitieswould be locate

Observe that both of these colors show their full intensities atMiddle Value. There are other colors, however, whose full intensitieswould be located at different degrees of the Value Scale, for all colors atfull intensity (as seen in the Chromatic Circle) are not of the same example, yellow at full intensity is much lighter in value than blueor red in full intensity. Of all colors, yellow is the lightest in value andviolet is the darkest. Yellow at full intensity is at High Light in valueand violet at full intensity is at Low Dark. Lighter tints of yellow 20 YELLOW. GREEN
