The Colour Therapy Professionals & Colour information resource Secondary colours
If two of the primary colors are mixed together, a secondary colour is created. As more colors are mixed, the selection of colors grows.
Additive secondary Colours
When two additive primary colours are mixed, a secondary colour is produced. In this case it is either Cyan, Magenta or Yellow.
Secondary additive colours are produced by mixing two other additive primary colours together.
The additive primary colours are Red, Green and Blue.
When these additive colours are mixed, they produce three other secondary colours. These are:
- Cyan
- Magenta
- Yellow
If then these secondary colours are mixed, they produce what are called 'Tertiary Colours'
Subtractive secondary Colours
When two subtractive primary colours are mixed, a secondary colour is produced. In this case it is either Violet/purple, Orange or Green.
Secondary subtractive colours are produced by mixing two other subtractive primary colours together.
The additive primary colours are Red, Green and Blue.
When these subtractive colours are mixed, they produce three other secondary colours. These are:
- Violet/purple
- Orange
- green
If then these secondary colours are mixed, they produce what are called 'Tertiary Colours'
