• Red, green, and blue

• Orange, purple, and green

• Yellow, blue, and green

Which of the following best describes analogous colors?

• Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel

• They create energy and advance

• They create warmth and excitement

• They create calm and recede

Which Gestalt principle describes how our brain completes incomplete shapes?

• Proximity

• Similarity

• Closure

• Figure-Ground

Warm colors include:

• Blue, green, and purple

• Red, orange, and yellow

• Purple, orange, and green

• Blue, red, and green

The principle of Figure-Ground in Gestalt theory refers to:

• The relationship between shapes and patterns

• The distinction between foreground and background elements

• The grouping of similar colors

• The completion of incomplete forms

Secondary colors are created by:

• Mixing three primary colors

• Using single primary colors

• Mixing two primary colors

• Adding black or white to primary colors

In design, the concept of hierarchy can be established through:

• Using only primary colors

• Applying multiple textures

• Using varying color values and contrast

• Using only complementary colors

Complementary colors are:

• Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel

• Colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel

• Colors that create a monochromatic scheme

• Colors that are all warm or all cool

The Gestalt principle of Proximity suggests that:

• Similar objects tend to be grouped together

• Objects close to each other appear related

• The mind completes incomplete shapes

• Figures are perceived against a background
