Wheel is a visual aid in helping us understand the principles of color and the color theory. The color wheel is divided into three categories: Primary, Secondary (or Intermediate), and Tertiary.
- Primary: the three primary colors are: red, yellow and blue. These colors are considered to be foundation colors because they are used to create all other colors.
- Secondary (or Intermediate): by combining two of the primary colors, three secondary colors are formed. For example, when you mix red with yellow, you will get an orange color. The Secondary colors are: orange, green and violet.
- Tertiary: the six tertiary colors are made by combining a primary and an adjacent secondary color. These colors are: yellow – orange, orange – red, red – violet, violet – blue, blue – green, and green – yellow.
