PRIMARY COLOURS
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.
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
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.
Involves the use of one hue. The hue can vary in
value, black to create different shades and white
can be added to create different tints.
Analogous colour schemes are created by using
colours that sit beside each other on the colour
wheel, with colours slightly different from one
another. (i.e. Yellow-orange, Orange, Red-Orange)
They are colours that are opposite from
each other from the colour wheel.
The CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow,
black) colour model is used for print,
they are pigment based (ink/toner),
and all the colours combined together
creates black.
The RGB (red, green, blue) colour
model is used for screens such as
computer and television, therefore
its light based. RGB combined
creates white.
