Color Wheel

Primary Colors are blue, red and yellow. Other colors are created through blending them.

Secondary Colors are located halfway between each of the primary colors on the color wheel; Orange, green and violet.

Tertiary colors are created when primary colors are mixed with adjacent secondary colors.
