Red Magenta, Yellow and Blue are regarded as primary colours; it means that they can not<br />
be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. Between the three primaries are<br />
the secondary colours which are each a mixture of two of the primaries:<br />
RED<br />
+ YELLOW = ORANGE<br />
RED<br />
+ BLUE<br />
= VIOLET<br />
BLUE + YELLOW = GREEN<br />
All the intermediate colours can be obtained by varying the ratio of mixed colours.<br />
For instance, the secondary colour obtained by mixing yellow and blue is green: to<br />
achieve a green pea colour it is needed to add more yellow and more blue for a green sea<br />
colour. The cromatic wheel chart herebelow clarifies the connection between colours:<br />
YELLOW vs VIOLET<br />
ORANGE vs BLUE<br />
GREEN vs RED<br />
Any two colors which are directly opposite each other are called complementary colors:<br />
these opposing colors create maximum contrast. When superimposed they neutralize each<br />
other. These two basic properties of colours are strictly connected with the make up theory.<br />
