Tertiary Colors

The intermediate colors are the "two-name colors" yellow orange, red orange, yellow green, blue green, red violet, and blue violet. They are created by mixing the primaries in specific proportions according to their proximity to a primary color of red, yellow, and blue on the color wheel. For example, if an orange is closest to yellow on the color wheel it means that it has more yellow in it and therefore looks like a yellowish orange. The orange that is next to the red on the color wheel has more red in it and therefore appears to look reddish.

Sometimes the intermediates are referred to as tertiary colors. The tertiary colors are not the same as intermediates as they are created by mixing the secondary colors. For example, orange and purple make russet, orange and green make citron, and purple and green make olive.

So really the intermediate colors are yellow orange, red orange, yellow green, blue green, red violet, and blue violet.

How many intermediate colors are there on the color wheel?

"Intermediate colors" are the hue divisions on an "artists'" color wheel in addition to the historical primaries (red, yellow, blue) and secondaries (orange, green and violet or purple). So there are six intermediate colors on a 12-hue wheel and correspondingly more on an 18-, 24-, 48- or 72-hue wheel. Such colors are sometimes called tertiary colors instead, though this term can also refer to those colors considered to "contain" all three historical primaries. Twelve-hue wheels with six intermediates are the most common in "traditional" color theory both historically and today.
