A secondary color is created by mixing two primary colors in equal amounts.
Essentially, secondary colors sit between primary colors on a color wheel and are combinations of those primaries. Traditionally, the secondary colors are orange (red + yellow), purple (red + blue), and green (blue + yellow).
Here's a breakdown:
- Primary Colors: Red, Yellow, Blue (These colors cannot be created by mixing other colors.)
- Secondary Colors: Created by mixing two primary colors.
| Primary Color 1 | Primary Color 2 | Secondary Color |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Yellow | Orange |
| Red | Blue | Purple |
| Blue | Yellow | Green |
Therefore, orange, purple, and green are the fundamental secondary colors.
