Colour Wheel

Primary, secondary and tertiary colours

“Different colours”We all live in a world where at some point, colour will be a part of us , and affect us

in our everyday lives. Colour in everyday life is very diverse, from knowing that a fruit

is ripe to eat, to understanding how colour can affect our moods. We divided colours

into three different groups:

Primary colours: These are colours that cannot be created through the mixing of other colours. They are

colours in their own right. The three primary colours can be seen below RED - YELLOW - BLUE.

Secondary colours: Are the result of the mixture of the primary colours.

Tertiary colours: Is a color made by mixing either one primary color with one secondary color.

“The colour wheel”The colour wheel can be seen below and this can be used to help remember primary

and secondary colours. The secondary colours are in between the primary colours -

for example - between red and blue is purple. Quite simply, mixing the primary colours

of red and blue paint together will produce the secondary colour purple.An important

rule of the colour wheel is that colours opposite to each other on the colour wheel

usually work well together as a colour scheme. Is an abstract illustration organization

between colours. These are known as COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS.

“The colours in the colour wheel”The typical colours in the colour wheel are the primary

colours (Red, blue and yellow). Most wheels are

compounded of three primary colours, three secondary

colours (Green, orange and purple) And six tertiary

colours (yellow-green, red-purple, red-orange)

Analogous Colours

The analogous colours are groups of colours

that are adjacent to each other in the colour

wheel.Analogous color schemes use

colors that are next to each other on

the color wheel. They usually match

well and create serene and

comfortable designs. Analogous color

schemes are often found in nature and

are harmonious and pleasing to the

eye.

How to make analogous colours?

This colours tend to be primary or secondary colours and two

or either side complementing, which tend to be tertiary.

Choose a primary colour and a secondary colour. For example, you might choose blue and green. They are analogous. With just these two colours, you can create even more analogous colours—blue-green, green-blue, and others in-between. All of these will have a colour in common.
