Colour harmonies, dischords, contrasts and complimentries. Sacred or divine geometry and colour.
Hi, I was indecisive on which place to pop this thread in, so here it is in general.
I recently started a few projects I have been meaning to get around to and decided to use a drawing of some of it as an avatar pic. It is exciting to be using this formula of colour again, and I think it is quite a magical thing to experience and understand.
When talking about colour and line and tone there's a correlation in language terms, to music. You can find yourself saying things like; harmony, tone, dischord, volume, transparency, rhythm, in tune, melody.
I will find some more photo's or links at some point but for now there it this drawing which is a close up of the second image.
So the first is this image, 18 colours around a 'one'. It might be white, but this is talking more about transparency and mediums of transparency, like water in paint. ...Which is a good analogy as you can also apply acknowledgement of solid liquid gas also if you chose to. But it also could be light.
Anyway, I don't want to make much of a big complicated review of this, for some it will open up a bit of a world of description, and it would be nice to hear a few responses if there be any wishing to be shared.
So to describe the layout. The 3 primary colours and the 3 secondary colours, (all in a form of being 50/50 'diluted'), surround the center.
Around this, the 3 primary, the 3 secondary, and the 6 tertiary colours sit in their respective places, mixed to the value relative to their positions with each other. They can be 100% colour.
In the hexagon wheel that is created, if you chose any colour at any point anywhere on the wheel, the colour which is opposite it on the wheel, same distance and all, will be the colour's complimentary colour. When you get these two colours to be the exact right hues, and the same tones, they interact together and cause an optical buzz. (This relates make to moire patterns as well. Black and white are complimentary colours, optical art is often made in black and white. See. Bridget Reilly.)
The way that striped prints of fabric on TV can make the camera record it 'buzzing'?
So when you choose a discord or complimentary set of colours, you can weave them together in a pattern or tessellation of just the 2, say Blue and Orange. The uniformity of the pattern and the playoff of buzzing made by the edges of divisions between the colours can create a field, a void. Especially if you put on 3D glasses..
Anyway, this is the rule book drawing of how the colours are balanced in harmony with their opposites and when in the form of 18 around 1 all work to allow that balance to vibrate as it does. It is set on conceptualizing multiple dimensions.
The hexagon wheel could be rotated 180 degrees, and it would merge into the background and all be one. (But the background would follow the hexagon wouldn't it? )
Oh that is the other thing. When a real object casts a shadow, the shadow will usually be made up of the colour of that object's complimentary. This is easier to see in conditions where the object has strong enough colour and the shadow is on a nice neutral surface ...(because yes the properties of other things and their colours start trading in the sequence too.
Ok, I am probably making it sound too confusing, by jumping about with brief notes. Here's the second image, where a dodecahedron that is transparent, is made visible by seeing its method of construction/extention, in the points, which are coloured relative to their position radiating out from the background field.
In this extension from the plane of the original, white has been used in the field to symbolise how such an extension off of the original plane would work.

Hi Nothing, I am not an artist but had to teach the theory of colour to my students doing advanced or 3rd level Textiles and Design. This I won't go into but what is so immense, is the gentian link, to all you have done so far here.Your Soul is in many rows of extreme impulses which correlate to the eighteen colours of the brain as well. This world cannot use more than these - fear stops us, from knowing more than the first ones in the field know. The lack of linear sight, tangles light to only see if everyone else sees things.
Think plane surface and you will link only to plane surface, think shimmering in Lights and more colours will emerge, think opalescent, pearlescent, diamond, emeralds, saphires - these gems, give you more solid beautiful links to gifted sight, for I am in jeopardy of having no one see these colours other than a few. I can't stop lights coming on into you, but I can give you the experience of seeing in multi level lights in colours, then you will see if gentian needs to be included in your colour wheel. Like every one else I find my own rightful colours, and I get help from a pendulum - try it one day and see if it works on your soul, for some lights resonate in a particular frequency which gives you, your something in joy.
