Plate 3 A & B are reflecting the colors in gray cell. Color 3-4 strips in term of color appears recognizable however when check through color value, both the strips appears almost same. Therefore, understanding color value of each hue compare to other hues is nececssary for making correct decision in the color pallette of a product.

The blue has greater color value compare to red and yellow. Thus in term of color value the layers of color appears (foreground) from blue, black, red, yellow and white. In above paintings, Piet Mondrian (plate4 A) exhibits the use of color value that helps to understand the dimension of colors in comparison to other colors with the help of ‘pure color’. On the otherhand the Ajanta murals (plate5 B) are unique examples of creating color dimension in relatively flat color scheme as early as 3rd- 4th C AD to create depth of field. The foreground brown color appears nearer because of the dark color strip. The dark color strip pushes the figures back. The four vertical columns on the dark horizontal strip holds the foreground in front of the figures.
