  1. Colour Theory Revision and Complementary Colours

  2. What is a primary colour?

  3. The Primary Colours In colour mixing for painting, the fundamental rule is that there are three colors that cannot be made by mixing other colors together. These three, red, blue, and yellow, are known as the primary colours.

  4. What is a secondary colour?

  5. Secondary Colours What happens when you mix primary colours? If you mix two primary colours together, you create what is called a secondary colour. Mixing blue and red creates purple; red and yellow make orange; yellow and blue make green.

  6. What is a tertiary colour?

  7. Tertiary Colours The tertiary colours are: Yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, red-violet, red-orange and yellow-orange. They are made by combining a primary and a secondary hue. Note: They are named by the Primary colour first.

  8. What is a tint? And What is a shade?

  9. A tint is when you add white to a hue (colour). A shade is when you add black to a hue (colour).
