PRIMARY- Red, Blue, Yellow
SECONDARY – Mix 2 primary colors of equal parts
Orange = Red+Yellow
Green= Blue+Yellow
Violet= Blue+Red
TERTIARY - Mixing 1 primary and 1 secondary colors together
ex: yellow-orange (always name the primary first)
NEUTRAL - created by mixing 2 complementary colors together
ex: Red+Green=Neutral
EARTH TONES = Color + Neutral
