Primary Colors The primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. Primary colors cannot be made from other colors.

When you mix the Primary Colors together, you get the Secondary Colors. What colors do these make? Red + Yellow = Orange Red + Blue = Purple Blue + Yellow = Green

Tertiary Colors Mixing primary and secondary colors creates tertiary colors. Tertiary colors include: Yellow-orange Red-orange Red-violet Blue-violet Blue-green Yellow-green On the color wheel, the tertiary colors are located between the primary and secondary colors they are made from.

The lightness or darkness of a color is called its value. Tints are light values that are made by mixing a color with white. For example, pink is a tint of red and gray is a tint of black. Shades are dark values that are made by mixing a color with black. Maroon is a shade of red, and navy is a shade of blue.
