Elements of design colour

2. .
Primary Colours: The 3 primary colours are red, yellow and
blue. They are three colours that can't be made by mixing
any other colours, but are used to make secondary colours.
Each secondary colour is made by mixing two primary
colours (in equal amounts) closest to it on the colour wheel.
The three secondary colours are: green, purple, and orange.
Tertiary colours are created by mixing a primary and a
secondary colour. There are six tertiary colours, and
their names all start with a primary colour. Red-orange,
Yellow-orange, Yellow-green, Blue-green, Blue-violet,
and Red-violet.

sits on the outside.
Compound colours are made by
mixing all three primary colours
together. Examples of compound
colours are brown and khaki.
Saturated colours are at it’s full
intensity and do not contain any black
or white.

4. Involves the use of one hue. The hue can vary in
value, black to create different shades and white
can be added to create different tints.
Analogous colour schemes are created by using
colours that sit beside each other on the colour
wheel, with colours slightly different from one
another. (i.e. Yellow-orange, Orange, Red-Orange)
They are colours that are opposite from each
other from the colour wheel.
