Three-color theory

Three-color theory, often used in art and design, suggests that all colors can be created by blending three primary colors: red, blue, and yellow. These primary colors cannot be made by mixing others but serve as the foundation for creating a wide spectrum of hues. By combining them in various ways, we can produce secondary colors (like green, orange, and purple) and a diverse range of shades and tints. This theory is essential in fields like painting, printing, and digital design, helping artists and designers understand color mixing and the relationships between colors.
