ColourWheel


Primary colours: These are pigment colours that cannot be made by mixing other colours. The colours are Red, Yellow and Blue.
Secondary colours: Made by mixing 2 of the 3 primary colours together. These colours are Green, Purple and Orange.
Tertiary colours: These colours are a combination of both primary and secondary colours being mixed together, the names for them would be (E.G) Yellow Green, the mixing of primary colour Yellow and secondary colour Green. There are 6 tertiary colours.
Tints and Shades are also part of a mixing palette only slightly different, you could take anyone of these colours and mix black with it (to make it darker) and it would be a shade, by mixing white (making it lighter) you would get a tint.
