Colors are an inevitable part of our world. Everything that we touch, see or feel has color. Also, we have learned to add colors to images during high school using varied types of colors. So, we must know what are primary colors? These are colors that cannot be created on mixing other colors. They are colors in their own right.

The three primary colors are RED, YELLOW AND BLUE. Also, primary colors are mixed together to formulate ‘Secondary Colors’.

Let us look at the mixture patterns to be followed in order to create secondary colors:

  1. YELLOW+BLUE=GREEN
  2. 2. BLUE+RED=PURPLE

3. RED+YELLOW=ORANGE

The three primary colors can be combined with black and white to create lighter tones also known as ‘Tints’ and darker hues also known as ‘shades’ of these colors. Most of the primary colors are considered warm but ‘Blue’ is one colour which is responsible for majorirs.
