Tertiary colors are created by mixing a primary color with a secondary color. Here’s how to fill in the circles to represent this:

  1. First Circle: Red (Primary Color)

  2. Second Circle: Orange (Secondary Color, made by mixing red and yellow)

  3. Third Circle: Red-Orange (Tertiary Color, made by mixing red and orange)

  4. Fourth Circle: Yellow (Primary Color)

  5. Fifth Circle: Green (Secondary Color, made by mixing blue and yellow)

  6. Sixth Circle: Yellow-Green (Tertiary Color, made by mixing yellow and green)

  7. Seventh Circle: Blue (Primary Color)

  8. Eighth Circle: Purple (Secondary Color, made by mixing blue and red)

  9. Ninth Circle: Blue-Purple (Tertiary Color, made by mixing blue and purple)

This results in:

  • Red + Orange = Red-Orange
  • Yellow + Green = Yellow-Green
  • Blue + Purple = Blue-Purple
