In traditional color theory (used in paint and pigments), primary colors are the 3 pigment colors that can not be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. All other colors are derived from these 3 hues.
Secondary Colours: Green, orange and purpleThese are the colors formed by mixing the primary colors.
Tertiary Colours: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green & yellow-greenThese are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color. That's why the hue is a two word name, such as blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-orange.
These were the basic three wheels I knew until Gary threw six more colour harmonies wheels into the mix. Thanks.
