This document discusses color theory and the properties of color. It explains that color is the reflection of light and defines primary colors (red, yellow, blue), secondary colors (orange, green, purple) which are mixes of primaries, and how color has three properties - hue (name), value (brightness), and chroma (saturation). It associates warm colors like red and yellow with heat and cold colors like blue and green with cooler feelings. It provides an example of Andy Warhol's pop art using bright colors and images of popular brands and celebrities.
