What this test measures
Correct and incorrect answers indicate knowledge of the concepts in this practice. They do not establish a trait profile, diagnosis or job fit.
- Hue is the colour family, value is how light or dark it appears, and saturation is its intensity. Changing one is different from changing the others.
- In a traditional red-yellow-blue artist's colour wheel, complementary colours sit opposite each other. Other colour models use different primaries, so name the model.
- Colour harmony is contextual. A palette's purpose, contrast, lighting and personal preference matter; a quiz cannot prescribe one correct personal style.
| Category | Questions in bank | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Colour reasoning | 10 | Complementary and analogous pairs, value, saturation, and contrast. Mostly colour chips. |
| Proportion and shape | 8 | Odd-one-out silhouettes, taper versus flare, and visual weight. |
| Pattern logic | 6 | Sequences and matrices using print, scale, and fill the way abstract IQ items use shapes. |
| Visual harmony | 6 | Which third colour keeps a palette consistent, and where a statement piece should sit. |
A worked example
Two blue fabrics have the same hue but one is much lighter. What changed?
- Both are still in the blue colour family, so the hue can be the same.
- The lightness difference is a difference in value.
- Their saturation may also differ, but the statement alone does not establish that. Describe the property you can actually identify.
