Secondary Colors: These colors are made by mixing two primary colors. The secondary colors are:

  • Orange (red + yellow)
  • Green (blue + yellow)
  • Purple (red + blue)

Tertiary Colors: These colors are made by mixing a primary color with a secondary color. Some examples of tertiary colors are:

  • Yellow-orange (yellow + orange)
  • Yellow-green (yellow + green)
  • Blue-green (blue + green)
  • Blue-purple (blue + purple)
