How Colours are made?

The main colours that thanks to them we can have all the other colours are called the Primary Colours. These colours are; Red, Blue and Yellow. When we mix one of these colours with another we will have other colours. These colours are called the Secondary Colours and from this, the Green, Purple, and Orange start to appear. When you mix a primary colour with a secondary colour you will add up with a tertiary colour. This can be understood better on a Colour Wheel.

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Colours

The colours on a colour wheel are divided into two categories, the warm colours and the cool colours.

Warm and Cool Colours

Apart from that, colours has Tints and Shades. Tints are those colours that are mixed with white, therefore the colour become lighter. While the Shades are those colours that are mixed with black, therefore the colour become darker.
