Primaries 
The three primary colours 
are yellow, blue and red.
Secondaries 
When two primaries are mixed 
together, they produce 
secondary colours. 
Blue + Yellow = Green 
Yellow + Red = Orange 
Red + Blue = Violet
Secondaries 
So, mixing primaries creates 
secondary colours.
Complements are the colours that 
take opposite positions in the

Colours are warm when they
