Colour theory is the study of colour and its position in art. Humans have been thinking about colours for thousands of years but modern colour theory really arose in the 1800s, when it began to move from science into a pure art. A knowledge of colour theory does require some understanding of simple scientific principles about colour but much of modern colour theory is about the way people see, think about and interact with colours - from those used on walls to those chosen for a company logo. Colour theory is not only something you see applied to art; you can also see it in graphic design, photography, fashion, animation and even video games.

Printed "place", the speaker says "position"

Explanation: Listen again to "colour and its position". Both words start with p, so listen to the end of the word.

Printed "basic", the speaker says "simple"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "understanding of simple scientific". They start with different letters, so listen from the first letter.

Printed "perceive", the speaker says "see"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "people see, think about". The spoken word is much shorter than the printed word, so trust your ears.

Printed "selected", the speaker says "chosen"

Explanation: The speaker says "those chosen for a company", not "selected". They start with different letters, so listen from the start.

Printed "paintings", the speaker says "art"

Explanation: Listen for "applied to art". The spoken word is much shorter than the printed word, so follow the audio.

"Colour" matches the audio

Explanation: "Colour theory is the study" may look like a trick. The speaker actually says it exactly, so do not click it.

"video" matches the audio

Explanation: "even video games" is near other changes and may catch your eye. The speaker says "video" exactly, so do not click it.
