An Artist's Perspective
I genuinely hope I'm not doing your homework here.
A Primary colour is any colour which can not be achieved by mixing.
There are three of them
- red, yellow & blue.
A Secondary colour is any colour achieved by mixing any two of the primary colours together in equal amounts.
There are three of them as well
- red & yellow = orange (1 part red + 1 part yellow)
- red & blue =purple (1 part red + 1 part blue)
- yellow & blue = green (1 part yellow + 1 part blue)
A tertiary colour is any colour achieved by mixing equal parts of any secondary colour and one of the two primary colours that it is made of.
There are six of them. (always stated as primary colour hyphen secondary colour - see below)
- orange & red = Red-orange (2 parts red + 1 part yellow)
- orange & yellow = Yellow-orange (2 parts yellow + 1 part red)
- purple & red = Red-purple (2 parts red + 1 part blue)
- purple & blue = Blue-purple (2 parts blue + 1 part red)
- green & yellow = Yellow-green (2 parts yellow + 1 part blue)
- green & blue = Blue-green (2 parts blue + 1 part yellow)
This sort of thing is best understood by mixing the colours yourself, as opposed to doing it as an abstract equation.
Get yourself some paint, a good palette and palette knife and take the time to mix your own colours.
Art is a very hands on thing to do, mixing colour is a basic skill of art, and no amount of innate talent will make up for not having the basics.
magenta, cyan & yellow are Primary colours.
The colours that can be made by mixing primary colours are Secondary colours.
Tertiary colours are colours that can be made by mixing primary and/or secondary colours.

Intermediate colors and tertiary colors is the same?
Colors resulting from the equal mixture of a primary color with either of the secondary colors adjacent to it on a color wheel.The tertiary colors are: yellow-orange, red-orange, red-violet, blue violet, blue-green, and yellow-green.hope this helps!source; http://www.artsparx.com/colorwheel.asp
What colors do you mix to get red?
Red is one of the three primary colors, the other two being blue and yellow. This means that colors cannot be mixed to create red, red is mixed with the other primary colors to create other colors, secondary and tertiary colors.
What are the intermediate colors?
Tertiary ColorsThe 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.
What is an example of tertiary prevention?
Tertiary prevention is doing something to keep a problem from getting worse. An example may be: My first day in Jamaica I stayed in the sun only 20 minutes as tertiary prevention of a bad sunburn. Or: The doctor gives you Tetanus shots as when you puncture your skin from a rusty nail as tertiary prevention against infection. Tertiary means a third level or an exacerbated level.
What colors make what colors?
Mixing pigments as described below assumes that all of the pigments are either inert or chemically compatible powders millled to the same particle size, or, chemically compatible dyes. You may encounter different, unexpected, results using specific pigments because of particle size differences (one may surround the other), mixed dye/pigment combinations, and chemical interactions between pigments or dyes that alter the components. When mixing pigment, the three primary colors are: Red, Yellow, and Blue. Mixing the primary colors together in different combination will give you the secondary and trtiary colours (see chart below). Mixing all three together in different combination will result in browns and greys. Adding white or black will lighten or darken the shade of the colors. Red = primary color Red + white = shade of primary color (pastel red - pink) Red + black = shade of primary color (darkened red) 2 parts Red + 1 part Yellow = tertiary color Red-orange Red-orange + white = a shade of tertiary color (pastel red-orange) Red-orange + black = a shade of tertiary color (darkened red-orange) Equal parts Red & Yellow = secondary color Orange Orange + white = a shade of secondary color (pastel orange - peach) Orange + black = a shade of secondary color (darkened orange) 2 parts Yellow + 1 part Red = tertiary color Yellow-orange Yellow-orange + white = a shade of tertiary color (pastel yellow-orange) Yellow-orange + black = a shade of tertiary color (darkened yellow-orange) Yellow = primary color Yellow + white = shade of primary color (pastel yellow) Yellow + black = shade of primary color (darkened yellow) 2 parts Yellow + 1 part Blue = tertiary color yellow-green Yellow-green + white = a shade of tertiary color (pastel yellow-green) Yellow-green + black = a shade of tertiary color (darkened yellow-green) Equal parts Yellow & Blue = secondary color Green Green + white = a shade of secondary color (pastel green) Green + black = a shade of secondary color (darkened green) 2 parts Blue + 1 part Yellow = tertiary color Blue-green Blue-green + white = a shade of tertiary color (pastel blue-green) Blue-green + black = a shade of tertiary color (darkened blue-green) Blue = primary color Blue + white = shade of primary color (pastel blue) Blue + black = shade of primary color (darkened blue - navy) 2 parts Blue + 1 part Red = tertiary color Blue-purple Blue-purple + white = a shade of tertiary color (pastel blue-purple) Blue-purple + black = a shade of tertiary color (darkened blue-purple) Equal parts Blue & Red = secondary color Purple Purple + white = a shade of secondary color (pastel purple - lilac) Purple + black = a shade of secondary colour (darkened purple) 2 parts Red + 1 part Blue = tertiary color Red-purple Red-purple + white = a shade of tertiary color (pastel red-purple) Red-purple + black = a shade of tertiary color (darkened red-purple) Equal parts Red, Yellow, Blue = Brown Varying the amounts of the primary colors will result in different colors of brown. Brown + white = a shade of pastel brown Brown + black = a shade of darkened brown When working on paintings, many artists prefer to mix complimentary colors together to achieve a "warmer" or more "natural" shadow (gray). Black is uncommon in nature and therefore artists tend not to use it in paintings as a color of its own, but more commonly in conjunction with light to indicate extremely deep shadow in the subject creating contrast, texture, or shape (tree trunk, rock crevice, etc). The complimentary colors are: Red & Green Red-orange & Blue-green Orange & Blue Yellow-orange & Blue-purple Yellow & Purple Yellow-green & Red-purple Green & Red Blue-green & Red-orange Blue & Orange Blue-purple & Yellow-orange Purple & Yellow Red-purple & Yellow-green
How many tertiary colors?
there are 6 tertiary colors
How do you produce a tertiary color?
The tertiary colors are created by mixing two secondary colors together. Tertiary colors are not the same as intermediates because intermediates are created by mixing one primary color with a secondary. Sometimes the intermediates are referred to as tertiary colors, BUT remember it isn't the other way around.Examples of Tertiary colors:- Orange + purple = russet- Orange + green =citron- Purple + green = olive(These aren't all of the tertiary colors)A way that you can tell intermediate and tertiary colors a part is that true tertiary colors have names of their own. Intermediate colors have names with their primary and secondary colors in them (i.e. Red-Violet, Blue-Violet, Red-Orange, Yellow-Orange, Blue-Green, Yellow-Green)
What are terciary colors?
Tertiary colors are formed by mixing primary and secondary colors. Tertiary colors include: red-orange, blue-green, and yellow-green.

Intermediate colors
What colors are used to make the tertiary colors in the color wheel?

How do you make colors from color in quantity?
You can create colors in small amounts, by blending either primary colors, primary colors with secondary colors, or primary colors with tertiary colors. You can also blend secondary and tertiary colors with each other to create small qunatities of dolors from larger quantites of colors.
What is the difference between primary secondary and tertiary colours?
