Secondary Colors

Secondary colors are the hues created by mixing two primary colors. In traditional color mixing, these are orange (from red and yellow), green (from yellow and blue), and purple or violet (from blue and red). These colors sit in between the primary colors on the color wheel and are used to achieve a broad spectrum of shades and tones in art and design. Understanding secondary colors helps in creating harmonious color schemes and in mixing paints or other mediums to achieve desired visual effects.
