Colour wheel


Primary Secondary Tertiary Colors

Primary Colours: Red, yellow and blue
In traditional colour theory (used in paint and pigments), primary colours are the 3 pigment colours that can not be mixed or formed by any combination of other colours. All other colours are derived from these 3 colours. secondary colours are primary colours that are mixed. All other colours originate from primary colours. 
Secondary Colours: Green, orange and purple
These are the colours formed by mixing the primary colours. More than one primary colour is mixed.

Tertiary Colours: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green & yellow-green
These are the colours formed by mixing a primary and a secondary colour. That's why the colour is a two word name, such as blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-orange.
