The colourPrimary, secondary and tertiary colours

Primary coloursThe primary colours are the colours that can’t be created by

mixing of other colours. Their mixing is to make useful colours,

and to know what colours create their mixing we use the colour

wheel. Now a days we can use different primary colours: the first

ones are red, blue and green and the second one are magenta,

cyan and yellow, but the most normal ones are yellow, red, blue.

First type ~RGB~ second type ~CMYK~ third type ~RYB~

Secondary colours

The secondary colours are made by mixing two or more Primary colours.

Depending on what group of the last primary colours you choose, you can obtain

different secondary colours. If you choose ~RyB~(the most common ones) you

obtain orange, magenta and green,...

The mixture of yellow, MagentA AND CYAN,that are the secondary colours,

produce the primary colours= Blue, green and red.

Tertiary colours

The tertiary colours are made by mixing one primary

colour and one secondary colour in equal parts. It are

also called intermediate colours, because they are

between these two ones.

Orange, Yellow-Green,

Blue-Green, Blue-magenta, and

Red-magenta.
