Basic Colour Theory:
In the visual arts, colour theory is a body of practical guidance
to colour mixing and the visual effects of a specific colour combination.
Primary Colours: Red, yellow and blue
In traditional colour theory (used in paint and pigments),
primary colours are the 3 pigment colours that cannot be mixed or formed by any
combination of other colours. All other colours are from these 3 hues.
Secondary Colours: Green, orange and purple
These are the colours formed by mixing the primary colours.
Tertiary Colours: Yellow-orange, red-orange,
red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green & yellow-green
These are the colours formed by mixing a primary and a
secondary colour. Why the hue is a two word name, such as blue-green,
red-violet, and yellow-orange.
