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)
