Color WheelDelivery:

  1. Color Wheel: organized into 3 main groups:
  • Primary: (red, yellow, blue)
  • Secondary: (green, orange, purple: made by mixing 2 primary colors together)
  • Tertiary or Intermediate: (yellow-orange, red-orange, red-violet, blue-violet, blue-green, yellow-green: made by mixing one primary color together with one secondary color).
  1. Complementary colors are colors that are directly opposite from each other on the color wheel.
