Citron is a dark lemon color similar to that of the fruit citron. As a tertiary color on the RYB color wheel, it is an equal mix of orange and green pigments.John Lemos, 1920, "Color Charts for the School Room", in ''School Arts'', vol. 19, pp 580–584 References See also *Citrine (color) *List of colors These are the lists of colors; * List of colors: A–F * List of colors: G–M * List of colors: N–Z * List of colors (compact) * List of colors by shade * List of color palettes * List of Crayola crayon colors * List of RAL colors * List ...

Citron
The citron (''Citrus medica''), historically cedrate, is a large fragrant citrus fruit with a thick rind. It is said to resemble a 'huge, rough lemon'. It is one of the original citrus fruits from which all other citrus types developed through natural hybrid speciation or artificial hybridization. Though citron cultivars take on a wide variety of physical forms, they are all closely related genetically. It is used in Asian cuisine, traditional medicines, perfume, and religious rituals and offerings. Hybrids of citrons with other citrus are commercially more prominent, notably lemons and many limes. Etymology The fruit's English name "citron" derives ultimately from Latin, ''citrus'', which is also the origin of the genus name. Other languages A source of confusion is that ''citron'' in French and English are false friends, as the French word refers to the lemon, while the English word is translated ''cédrat''. Indeed, into the 16th century, the English name ''citron'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lemon (color)
Lemon or lemon-color is a vivid yellow color characteristic of the lemon fruit. Shades of "lemon" may vary significantly from the fruit's actual color, including fluorescent tones and creamy hues reflective of lemon pies and confections. The first recorded use of ''lemon'' as a color name in English dates to 1598. In the academic regalia of the United States, the color denotes library and information science. Variations of lemon Lemon chiffon Lemon chiffon is the X11 color and web color ''lemonchiffon''. It was formulated in 1987 when it was first introduced as a named color in the X Window System. After the invention of the World Wide Web in 1991, these colors became known as the X11 web colors. Lemon meringue Displayed at right is the color lemon meringue.

Tertiary Color
A tertiary color or intermediate color is a color made by mixing full saturation of one primary color with half saturation of another primary color and none of a third primary color, in a given color space such as RGB color model, RGB, CMYK color model, CMYK (more modern) or RYB color model, RYB (traditional). Tertiary colors have general names, one set of names for the RGB color wheel and a different set for the RYB color wheel. These names are shown below. Another definition of tertiary color is provided by color theorists such as Moses Harris and Josef Albers, who suggest that tertiary colors are created by intermixing pairs of secondary colors: orange-green, green-purple, purple-orange; or by intermixing complementary colors. This approach to tertiary color relates specifically to color in the form of paints, pigments, and dyes.

RYB Color Model
RYB (an abbreviation of red–yellow–blue) is a subtractive color model used in art and applied design in which red, yellow, and blue pigments are considered primary colors. Under traditional color theory, (which some artists see as the “correct theory” whilst others use modern color theory yminstead) this set of primary colors was advocated by Moses Harris, Michel Eugène Chevreul, Johannes Itten and Josef Albers, and applied by countless artists and designers. The RYB color model underpinned the color curriculum of the Bauhaus, Ulm School of Design and numerous art and design schools that were influenced by the Bauhaus, including the IIT Institute of Design (founded as the New Bauhaus), Black Mountain College, Design Department Yale University, the Shillito Design School, Sydney, and Parsons School of Design, New York. In this context, the term ''primary color'' refers to three exemplar colors (red, yellow, and blue) as opposed to specific pigments. As illustrated, i ...

Citrine (color)
Citrine is a colour, the most common reference for which is certain coloured varieties of quartz which are a medium deep shade of golden yellow. Citrine has been summarized at various times as yellow, greenish-yellow, brownish yellow or orange. The original reference point for the citrine colour was the citron fruit. The first recorded use of ''citrine'' as a colour in English was in 1386. It was borrowed from a medieval Latin and classical Latin word with the same meaning. In late medieval and early modern English the citrine colour-name was applied in a wider variety of contexts than it is today and could be "reddish or brownish yellow; or orange; or amber (distinguished from yellow)"."Citrine" in th''Middle English Dictionary''(late medieval English). In today's English citrine as a colour is mostly confined to the contexts of (1) gemstones, including quartz, and (2) some animal and plant names. E.g., the citrine wagtail (''Motacilla citreola''), an Asian bird specie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shades Of Yellow
Varieties of the color yellow may differ in hue, chroma (also called saturation, intensity, or colorfulness) or lightness (or value, tone, or brightness), or in two or three of these qualities. Variations in value are also called tints and shades, a tint being a yellow or other hue mixed with white, a shade being mixed with black. A large selection of these various colors is shown below. Computer web color yellow Yellow (RGB) (X11 yellow) (color wheel yellow) The color box at right shows the most intense yellow representable in 8-bit RGB color model; yellow is a ''secondary'' color in an additive RGB space. This color is also called color wheel yellow. It is at precisely 60 degrees on the HSV color wheel, also known as the RGB color wheel ( Image of RGB color wheel:). Its complementary color is blue.

Varieties of the color green may differ in hue, chroma (also called saturation or intensity) or lightness (or value, tone, or brightness), or in two or three of these qualities. Variations in value are also called tints and shades, a tint being a green or other hue mixed with white, a shade being mixed with black. A large selection of these various colors is shown below. Computer web color greens Green The color defined as ''green'' in the RGB color model is the brightest green that can be reproduced on a computer screen, and is the color named ''green'' in X11. It is one of the three primary colors used in the RGB color space along with red and blue. The three additive primaries in the RGB color system are the three colors of light chosen such as to provide the maximum range of colors that are capable of being represented on a computer or television set. This color is also called ''regular green''. It is at precisely 120 degrees on the HSV color wheel, also known a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Shades Of Brown
Shades of brown can be produced by combining red, yellow, and black pigments, or by a combination of orange and black—illustrated in the color box. The RGB color model, that generates all colors on computer and television screens, makes brown by combining red and green light at different intensities. Brown color names are often imprecise, and some shades, such as beige, can refer to lighter rather than darker shades of yellow and red. Such colors are less saturated than colors perceived to be orange. Browns are usually described as light or dark, reddish, yellowish, or gray-brown. There are no standardized names for shades of brown; the same shade may have different names on different color lists, and sometimes one name (such as beige or puce) can refer to several very different colors. The X11 color list of web colors has seventeen different shades of brown, but the complete list of browns is much longer. Brown colors are typically desaturated shades of reds, oranges, and yell ...
