I. Primary Colors
Primary colors are the colors that can not be made by mixing any other colors. The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. When these colors are mixed with one another they can create the secondary colors. If a primary color is mixed with a neutral color it will create a tint of color. All other colors come from these three colors. If we thought of the color wheel as a family the primary colors would be the parents.
A. Red
B. Yellow
C. Blue
1. Cool Color
The blues and greens of the color wheel are known as cool colors. These colors usually represent cooler temperatures. These colors are associated with water, ice, and the sky. You would use cool colors to represent the calm in the picture.
II. Secondary Colors
A secondary color is a color made by mixing two primary colors together. If you mix the primary colors red and yellow for example, the result is the secondary color of orange. The other two secondary colors are green and purple. The primary colors must be mixed in equal proportions to receive the exact secondary colors. These colors are sometime described as the "children" of the Primary colors.
A. Green
B. Purple
C. Orange
1. Warm Color
The reds, yellows, and oranges of color wheel are known as warm colors. These colors go along with warmer temperatures such as the sun or fire. These colors also represent warmth, comfort, or energy in a work of art.
III. Tertiary Colors
Tertiary colors are created by the combination of a primary and secondary colors. Therefore, there are two colors that make up a tertiary color. There are six tertiary colors. Tertiary colors add great variety to the color wheel. Usually the primary color is listed first in the name.
A. Yellow-Orange
B. Red-Orange
C. Red-Purple
D. Blue-Purple
E. Blue-Green
F. Yellow-Green
IV. Neutral Colors
The neutral colors are gray, black, and white. Neutral colors are the color that are neither warm nor cool. Neutral colors result from the combination of two complementary colors. These colors are also included in the earth tones. These three colors mix very well with any of the other colors because they are neutral.
A. Black
B. Gray
C. White
V. Complementary Colors
In the color theory, two colors are called complementary if, when mixed in the proper proportion, they produce a neutral color (grey, white, or black). Complementary colors are exact opposite of one another on the color wheel. The high contrast of complementary colors creates a vibrant look especially when used at in full clarity. These are the colors you normally see together because they look best together. The complementary colors are yellow and purple, red and green, and blue and orange.
A. Red and Green
B. Blue and Orange
C. Yellow and Purple

ReplyDeleteI like how you used all the correct colors for their names and this would be great for elementary and special needs children in higher grades as well. I was in a visual arts classroom in high school and we went back to this we had to create all the colors starting with primary colors.
