Johannes Itten

Johannes Itten was born in 11 November 1888 and died in 25 March 1967 was a Swiss expressionistpainter, designer, teacher, writer and theorist associated with the Bauhaus(Staatliches Bauhaus) school. Together with German-American painter Lyonel Feininger and German sculptor Gerhard Marcks, under the direction of German architect Walter Gropius, Itten was part of the core of the Weimar Bauhaus.Johannes Itten was one of the first people to define and identify strategies for successful color combinations. Through his research he devised seven methodologies for coordinating colors utilizing the hue’s contrasting properties. These contrasts add other variations with respect to the intensity of the respective hues; i.e. contrasts may be obtained due to light, moderate, or dark value.

 Albert Munsell

Albert Munsell was an artist and professor. At Massachusetts Normal Art School, he taught students about color composition. In 1905, he published A Color Notation, which outlined his color theory. He went on to publish Atlas of the Color Solid and The Munsell Book of Color, both of which elaborated on his system of color. Albert Munsell’s color theory is a system of color comprised of three main components: hue, value, and chroma. The system can be drawn like a cylinder that has circles that ripple outward at various degree measurements.
