No. Green is a secondary colour because you can create it by mixing other parts of the spectrum. The primary colours are Red, Yellow, and Blue.

You can mix yellow and blue to make green.

What makes color brown?

The colour brown can be made by mixing colours from opposite sides of the colour wheel, or equivalently, by mixing all three primary (additive) colours: red, blue and yellow. For example a mix of red and green (which are opposite on the colour wheel, and include all three primary colours, as green is a mix of blue and yellow), will produce brown.


What color is red and blue paint?

Purple! Have a close look at the colour wheel. Let me explain what the colour wheel is. The colour wheel is all about the Primary Colours (colours you cannot make with other colours). The Primary Colours are Blue, Yellow and Red. Blue + Red = Purple Red + Yellow = Orange Yellow + Blue = Green Purple, Orange and Green are known as Secondary Colours. There are also colours that compliment each other in the colour wheel. If you have a look at a colour wheel and choose a colour, then see what colour is OPPOSITE the colour you chose, you find it's Complimentary Colour!


What color combinations are possible using the primary colors of red green and blue?

brown and purple As there is a fundamental error in your question, let me start by explaining that although red and blue are primary colours green is not. Yellow is the third primary colour of a standard colour pallet. Green is a secondary colour achieved by mixing yellow and blue. The primary, secondary and tertiary colours as found on a standard colour wheel are as follows: Yellow - primary 1 part red + 3 parts yellow = yellow-orange (tertiary) 2 parts red + 2 parts yellow = orange (secondary) 3 parts red + 1 part yellow = red-orange (tertiary) Red - Primary 3 parts red + 1 part blue = red-purple (tertiary) 2 parts red + 2 parts blue = purple (secondary) 1 part red + 3 parts blue = blue-purple (tertiary) Blue - primary 3 parts blue + 1 part yellow = blue-green (tertiary) 2 parts blue+ 2 parts yellow = green (secondary) 1 parts blue + 3 parts yellow = yellow-green (tertiary) The mixture of all three primary colours (or a primary and its complimentary secondary colour) usually result in some form of brown. However, when artists are mixing colour for shaded areas of a painting it is common for them to mix the opposite colour into the shaded area to get dark grey or blackish colour that gives the painting more "life" than the use of true black. An example of this is when adding deep shade to the leaves of a tree, a very dark shade of the leaf colour is mixed with a small amount of very dark red, to get an almost black shadow.
