COLOUR DEFINITIONS
Whether black white and grey, bright or dull; all photos included the biggest and main element of the 7. Colour! The tone can be saturated, muted or analogous colours. There's also psychology behind the colour in photos...
Saturated colours: This is how colourful/bright/vibrant a colour with in a photo is.
As you can see from this image on the left, the side that is more saturated, the colour stands out much more compared to the side which is desaturated.
For example, from this photo of the flower, the colour is much brighter that the end of the scale in the picture above. Many photographers use saturated photos because it clearly conveys the colour of the image. Therefore the viewers and get a clear sense of the photo- as if it was really in front of them.
Muted colours: These colours are much less intense as have
been toned down or have been toned down with a darker tone, black or grey.

As it's seen in this photo, muted colours are much duller and darker than the colours which are saturated above.

Analogous colour: These are three or more colours which are next to each other on the colour wheel. One of them are most likely to be a primary colour, for example, Red, red-yellow, red-purple.
The is clear from this colour chart on the left how analogous colours are normally colours which go very well together.

Complimentary Colours: A colour combined with a given colour and makes white/black.


Psychology of colour: The psychology of colour is the theory of how human behavior can be affected by a certain colour and how colour can influence us in ways such as the taste of food.
