The Colour Theory

What is the Colour Theory?
In the color theory, there are the 3 basic pigment colors that can not be mixed or formed by any combination of other colours. All other colors are derived from these 3 hues

These colours are Yellow, Red and Blue. They are also known as Primary colours.( As shown in the diagarm)

Secondary Colours are created when two Primary colours mix together. These colours are green, purple and orange.



Yellow + Blue = Green
Red + Yellow = Orange
red + Blue = Purple

TERTIARY COLORS
Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green and yellow-green.
These are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color.
