Play matching vocabulary game (match words to their translations to make cards disappear)  and save the planet from asteroids by typing in correct translation of the words.
  

III Watch the video and fill in the gaps with the words from the list. There are some words you don’t need to use.


Analogous; palette; hue; desaturated; spot; derange; interesting; starting; square; inspirational; blue; formula; oranges; guaranteed; simplistic; suit; formula; skating; triadic; green; inspire; colour wheel; rectangle; combinations; family; harmony; combinations; scheme; colour wheel; tried-and-true; opposite; whole; completed; complement; complementary; striking; monochromatic; variations; create; saturation; contrast; accent; interpretation; afraid; schemes


So how do we put this all together to 1)______ professional-looking colour 2)______? There are actually 3)______ formulas based on something called colour 4)______ that can help.
Colour harmony uses the 5)____   _____ to illustrate time-tested colour 6)______. We’ll explore some of the most common types of harmony below.
The easiest 7)______ for harmony is 8)______ because it only uses one colour or 9)______. To create a monochromatic colour scheme, pick a 10)______ on the colour wheel, then use your knowledge of 11)______ and value to create 12)______. The best thing about monochromatic colour schemes is that they’re 13)______ to match. The colours 14)______ each other perfectly because they’re all from the same 15)______.
An 16)______ colour scheme uses colours that are next to each other on the wheel, like reds and 17)______ or blues and greens. Don’t be 18)______ to play with the 19)______ and create your own unique 20)______. That’s what colour harmony is all about; the formulas are merely 21)______ points to help guide and 22)______ you.
23)______ colours are 24)______ each other on the wheel; for instance, 25)______ and orange or the classic red and 26)______. To avoid complementary colour schemes that are too 27)______add some variety by introducing lighter, darker, or 28)______ tones.
split-complementary colour 29)______ uses the colours on either side of the 39)______. This gives you the same level of 31)______ as a complementary colour scheme but more colours to work with (and potentially more 32)______ results).
33)______ colour scheme uses three colours that are evenly spaced, forming a perfect triangle on the wheel. These 34)______ tend to be pretty 35)______ - especially when they include primary or secondary colours - so be mindful when using them in your work.
Tetradic colour schemes form a 36)______ on the wheel, using not one but two complementary colour pairs. This 37)______ works best if you let one colour dominate while the others serve as an 38)______.
And a 39)______ colour scheme is made up of four complementary colours evenly spaced around the 40)_____   ______
