![]() ![]() The traditional model is the oldest and widely used in mixing paints and in school or art education. There are also other models where the main colors differ, such as CMY (Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow) or RGB (Red, Green, and Blue). There are no established names for the quaternary colors.Īn important clarification: this note is based on the traditional Coloration Model, also called RYB (Red, Yellow, Blue), since it uses Red, Yellow, and Blue as primary colors. The color is imprecise and depends greatly on the intensity, tone, and quantity of the colors that form it. In this way, dirty, grayish, or earthy colors are obtained. Tertiary Colors The intermediate colors are the 'two-name colors' yellow orange, red orange, yellow green, blue green, red violet, and blue violet. The quaternary is formed from the union of two tertiaries. Greenish yellow (Lime) = yellow + green.Orange Yellow (Amber) = Yellow + Orange.The intermediate tertiaries are 6 and are formed as follows: Citron, or dirty yellow (on the right) = green + orangeĪs I said before, the intermediates are tertiary colors that start from the union of a primary and a secondary that is, they are a step between the two.Slate Grey, or Steel Blue (on the left) = Purple + Green.In the image, the Secondariesare indicated with the letter S and the tertiaries with the T: And the other is the union of two secondary colors, with which three slightly saturated or dirty tones are achieved. There are two ways to obtain tertiaries: one is the mixture of equal parts of a primary and a secondary, which we will call intermediate color. The secondaries are orange, green, and purple and are formed as follows: In the same way as the previous ones, the secondary ones are at the same distance on the chromatic circle forming a triangle. The secondary shade obtained depends on the precise shade or pigment used as the primary. They are obtained by mixing two primary colors in equal parts. This model is the most used in printing and industry. Primaries cannot be made up of other colors, and they are equidistant on the color wheel.Ī more current color model considers Cyan (an intense turquoise), Magenta (a fuchsia red), and Pure Yellow as primary colors, with which all existing colors can be formed. And they are the colors used in the elementary teaching of plastic arts. The traditional primary colors are Red, Blue, and Yellow in their deepest known hues. Also, knowing this will help us improve the way we prepare paint colors quickly. Starting from three main colors (yellow, red, and blue), the rest of the shades of the chromatic circle will be formed. Colors can be classified into different groups or families, which is why we distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Let’s go back to basic color theory and start at the beginning. ![]()
