    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand-colouring_of_photographs

    Hand-colouring is also known as hand painting or overpainting. Typically, watercolours, oils, crayons or pastels, and other paints or dyes are applied to the image surface using brushes, fingers, cotton swabs or airbrushes. Hand-coloured photographs were most popular in the mid- to late-19th century before the invention of colour photography ...

  3. Shades of black - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_black

    In color theory, a shade is a pure color mixed with black. It decreases its lightness while nearly conserving its chromaticity. Strictly speaking, a "shade of black" is always a pure black itself and a "tint of black" would be a neutral gray. In practice, many off-black colors possess a hue and a colorfulness (also called saturation).

  4. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing

    There are three types of color mixing models, depending on the relative brightness of the resultant mixture: additive, subtractive, and average. [ 1] In these models, mixing black and white will yield white, black and gray, respectively. Physical mixing processes, e.g. mixing light beams or oil paints, will follow one or a hybrid of these 3 ...

  5. Glass bead making - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_bead_making

    When the base bead has been formed, other colors of glass can be added to the surface to create many designs. After this initial stage of the bead making process, the bead can be further fired in a kiln to make it more durable. Modern bead makers use single or dual fuel torches, hence the more modern term flameworked.

  6. Color theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

    Color theory, or more specifically traditional color theory, is the historical body of knowledge describing the behavior of colors, namely in color mixing, color contrast effects, color harmony, color schemes and color symbolism. [ 1] Modern color theory is generally referred to as Color science. While there is no clear distinction in scope ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vantablack

    Vantablack [ 1][ 2] Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). Vantablack is a class of super-black coatings with total hemispherical reflectances (THR) below 1% [ 4] in the visible spectrum. The name is a portmanteau of the acronym VANTA ( vertically aligned nanotube arrays ...

  8. Black - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black

    Black is the color produced by the absorption of all wavelengths of visible light, or an exhaustive combination of multiple colors of pigment. Vantablack was the blackest substance known until 2019. 42 10. In physics, a black body is a perfect absorber of light, but, by a thermodynamic rule, it is also the best emitter.
