THEORY OF COLOURS
Colors are the most appealing icons to anyone. Babies get attracted to colors only even when they have no concept of shapes. Just imagine what would be world without colors and God has created so much harmony and contrast in nature that they so many colors never look bad together.
Let’s classify the colors in the following categories:
- Primary Colors
- Secondary Colors
- Tertiary Colors
PRIMARY COLORS
There are three primary colors,
- Red,
- Yellow
- Blue
All colors are made out of these three colors.
SECONDARY COLORS
The mixture of yellow and blue makes GREEN,
The mixture of yellow and red makes ORANGE,
The mixture of red and blue makes PURPLE.
Green, Orange and Purple are secondary colors resulting from the mixture of primary colors.
Tertiary Colors
Tertiary colors are intermediate colors made out of secondary and primary colors. A tertiary color is a color made by mixing one primary color with one secondary color, in a given color space such as RGB or RYB.
Unlike primary and secondary colors, these are not represented by one firmly established name each. Brown and grey are sometimes known as Tertiary colors.
