Color - a hue on the visual spectrum (NOT black and white) Black = Dark White = Light Hue = Techniqual name for a color Primary colors - Red, yellow, blue Can not be produced by mixing other colors. Secondary - Green, Orange and Purple Colors created from mixing 2 primaries:
Yellow+ Red = Orange
Yellow + Blue = Green Red = Blue = Purple | Tertiary - Colors created from mixing a primary and a secondary colors. "ish" Example: Bluish Green Bluish-purple Complemetary - Opposites, found opposite eachother on the color wheel. 1. Side by side - strong visual contrast 2. When small amounts are added into original color, it will lose intensity and brightness (dulled-down) 3. When the two are equal amounts (50/50), you can prodice black subtractively.
