Primary Colours

In art, there are three primary colours. These are colours that cannot be made by mixing other colours together. They are - red, blue, and yellow:-

	Red
	Blue
	Yellow

Secondary Colours

If you mix two primary colours together, you create what is called a secondary colour. Mixing red and blue creates purple; blue and yellow make green and yellow and red make orange.
