What are the color on the color wheel?

To make all colors in pigment the 3 primaries must be transparent. Transparent yellow is ASTM number PY150 made from the nickel element. Transparent magenta is PR122, C20H12N2O2. Transparent yellow and transparent magenta mix into the secondary pigment color red. The 3rd transparent primary pigment color is cyan, made from the copper element, PB15. Transparent yellow and transparent cyan make the secondary color green. Transparent cyan mixed with the the transparent magenta color make the secondary color ultramarine blue. Yellow, magenta and cyan are the primary pigment colors, red, green and blue are the secondary pigment colors. Light uses the opposite colors, the secondary pigment colors become the primary light colors. Red, yellow and blue are not the primary colors in pigment or in light. Those colors came from Newton in 1600 and they are just the most obvious colors in the prism and rainbow. RCW

What colour mixed get green?

There are 3 primary colors, those being red, yellow, and blue. By mixing different combinations of those primary colors you will then get secondary colors. You must mix yellow and blue to get the secondary color of green.

No. You must begin with fluorescent pigment.


What colors mixed together makes white?

In the concept of light, the presence of all rainbow colors produces white light. In additive mixing of colors, if the three primary colors, blue, red and yellow are showing, the result is white.

What are the secondry colors?

The secondary colors are colors that can be made from the 3 primary colors- red, yellow, blue. The 3 secondary colors are- Green (yellow and blue), Purple (red and Blue), and orange (red and yellow). Those colors and primary colors make intermediate colors like yellow orange and blue green. In intermediate colors you must always state the primary color first.

What colors do you mix to make the color blood red?

Technically you can't make red. It is a primary color in the process of color creation by passing light through the result. You can't make primary colors by mixing 2 other colors. Though you can mix hot pink and orange to get something close to red If you are using the process used in printers, layering materials and reflecting light, red and blue are not primary colors. Magenta, yellow, and cyan are the primaries. Mix equal parts of magenta and yellow to get red. Red and blue are no longer primary colors. They were believed to be primary colors, because the true primaries, magenta and cyan were not available in a form to be used by artists. Yellow is the third primary. Science has since shown why magenta, yellow, and cyan are the primary colors. The eye has three overlapping bands of color it is sensitive to: red, green, and blue. These are the primary colors of light (to humans). Magenta pigment absorbs green light. Yellow pigment absorbs blue light. And cyan pigment absorbs red light. If your teacher is still telling you that red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors, that teacher is teaching material that is over 50 years out of date. 50 years ago, as a 6th grader, I showed our art teacher the new primaries, which I found in a library book. Two weeks later, we got new watercolor paint boxes with magenta, yellow,. and cyan replacing the old boxes with red, yellow, and blue that had failed to make good color mixes. Unfortunately, art supply dealers are still mired in the past.
