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.
What else can I help you with?
What does tertiary mean in the art sense?
In the art sense, "tertiary" refers to colors that are created by mixing a primary color with a secondary color. For example, mixing yellow (a primary color) with green (a secondary color) produces yellow-green, which is a tertiary color. Tertiary colors often provide a broader palette for artists, allowing for more nuanced and complex color schemes in their work. They play a crucial role in color theory and can enhance depth and interest in visual compositions.
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?
