3. COLOUR
The study of colours may be approached from any of the five
angles: that of physiologists, chemists, physicists,
psychologists, or people who work with pigments. Of the
many theories of colour (in pigment form), two are in
common use. These are generally known as the Prang system
and the munsell system. Of the two, the Prang colour system
is more frequently followed in the interior decoration.

4. Dimensions of Colour
There are three properties or qualities that may be called the
dimensions of colour. These are just as distinct as the length,
breadth , and thickness of an object.
1. Hue – This term indicates the name of the colour such as
red, blue, green, etc. Although colour and hue are used
interchangeably, colour is a general term and hue is a
specific term referring to definite identifiable colours.
2. Value – This describes the lightness or darkness of a colour.
There are a total of nine values, ranging all the way from
white to black.
3. Intensity/chroma – This refers to the brightness or dullness
of a colour. A vey bright colour is said to be of full intensity.
