The Colour wheel


A colour wheel is made of different colours with in the middle the colours red, yellow and blue.
Those colours are primary colours.
With those colours you can make al the colours that you want.
If you put red and yellow together you make orange.
If you put red and blue together you make purple.
If you put yellow and blue together you make green.
The colours orange, purple and green are secondery colours.
You make them with mixing primary colours together.
If you mix together one primary colour with one secondary colour you wil get tertiary colours.
This are al tertiary colours
orange red
red purple
blue purple
blue green
yellow green
yellow orange
From those I haven't got an colour in me computer.
This colour theory is made by Johannes Itten more about him in my other message.
If you put in those colours black or white than you call it shades or tints so you can make F.E. dark red or light blue.
This was my message about the colour circle thanks for reading.
