What are the primary and other colors?

Colors are classified as primary, secondary and tertiary colors. Primary colors are those that cannot be generated by mixing of any other color. There are three primary colors: red, blue and yellow. These primary colors can be mixed to generate secondary colors. There are three secondary colors: purple, orange and green. The secondary colors are a result of mixing any two primary colors - red and yellow yield orange, and yellow and blue generate green. Tertiary colors are a result of mixing primary and secondary colors. Some examples of tertiary colors are yellow-orange, blue-purple, blue-green, etc. The tertiary colors are named by writing the primary color first and then secondary color, separated by a hash (for example, red + purple = red-purple).



Hope this helps.
