Colors are visual perceptions that humans categorize as hues like red, green, and blue. Color derives from the visible light spectrum and is described using a color wheel model. There are two types of color mixing: additive mixing of colored lights, with primary colors of red, green, and blue, and subtractive mixing of pigments/dyes, with primary colors of red, yellow, and blue. The visible light spectrum is commonly represented as ROYGBIV, and hues are arranged around a color wheel with primary, secondary, and tertiary colors defined by their mixing relationships.

PRIMARY COLORS
Red, Yellow and Blue are the primary colors. These are the three basic colors that are used to mix all hues.

SECONDARY COLORS
Orange, Green and Purple are the secondary colors. They are achieved by mixing two primary colors together.

TERTIARY COLORS

Tertiary colors are more subtle hues which are achieved by mixing a primary and a secondary color that are adjacent on the color wheel.

4/15/12

Opposite colors are diagonally opposite one another on the color wheel. Opposite colors create the maximum contrast with one another. You can work out the opposite color to any primary color by taking the other two primaries and mixing them together. The result will be its opposite or complementary color.
