Primary Colours: The 3 primary colours are red, yellow and
 blue. They are three colours that can't be made by mixing
any other colours, but are used to make secondary colours.




    Each secondary colour is made by mixing two primary
 colours (in equal amounts) closest to it on the colour wheel.
The three secondary colours are: green, purple, and orange.




   Tertiary colours are created by mixing a primary and a
    secondary colour. There are six tertiary colours, and
  their names all start with a primary colour. Red-orange,
   Yellow-orange, Yellow-green, Blue-green, Blue-violet,
                       and Red-violet.
Compound and Saturated colours are
 not placed on the colour wheel, but
         sits on the outside.
   Compound colours are made by
   mixing all three primary colours
  together. Examples of compound
    colours are brown and khaki.

intensity and do not contain any black
              or white.

 value, black to create different shades and white
       can be added to create different tints.
