Intermediate colours are created by mixing a PRIMARY with a SECONDARY. For example, If you mix blue and green, you would get Blue Green. Red, with orange, makes red orange. Since there are three primary and three secondary colours, you would have 6 intermediate colours (also called Tertiary). Sometimes the colours have fancy names like raspberry, (which is red-violet) goldenrod (which is yellow-orange) etc. We will just call them by their primary name first and their secondary name second.
Secondary colours are made by mixing two primary colours together. They are located on the secondary triad. (It would look like an upside down triangle). The secondary colour goes between the two primary colours that make it. For example, you would not see Green, in between blue and red. Why? Because blue and red make violet (purple).
Primary colours are the colours that make all the other colours. You can not make a primary colour by mixing any of the other colours together.
The primary colour triad consists of BLUE, RED and YELLOW. |
