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.

together. Examples of compound colours are brown and khaki.
