Below is a color wheel consisting of twelve colors which will give you an idea
to make successful choice of color.
There are also definitions (or categories) of colors based on the color wheel.
We begin with a 3-part color wheel.
Primary Colors:
Red, yellow and blue. In traditional color theory (used in paint and pigments),
primary colors are the 3 pigment colors that cannot be mixed or formed by
any combination of other colors. All other colors are derived from these 3
hues.
Secondary Colors:
Green, orange and purple. These are the colors formed by mixing the
primary colors.
Tertiary Colors: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-
green & yellow-green. These are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a
secondary color. That's why the hue is a two word name, such as blue-green,
red-violet, and yellow-orange.
