Let’s Get to Know the Color Wheel

Primary Colors

Primary colors are unique because they cannot be mixed from any other colors. They are red, yellow, and blue.

Secondary Colors

Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors.

Tertiary Colors

Tertiary colors are made by mixing the primary and secondary colors nearest each other.

Complementary Colors

Colors that are directly across each other from each other are called complementary. As opposites, one will be in the cool family and one will be in the warm family.
