There are a limited amount of colors in art. Three primary colors are Red, Yellow and Blue. Three secondary colors can be made by mixing two primary. For example, Red and Blue (primary) make Purple (secondary). The other two secondary colors are Green and Orange.

The human eye can see a multitude of colors, all of which can be reproduced with mixtures of the six colors listed above. Artists' paint is sold in pigment colors like 'Sienna' or 'Cadmium Red' but is still limited to the color wheel of primary and secondary colors.

In a printed color image a basic four colors are used, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. These simple colors can simulate the multitude of color seen by the human eye.
