🎨 What Are the Primary Colors?
Kindergarten 🎨 Art
In painting, the primary colors are red, yellow and blue. You can mix them to make many other colors.
Mixing colors
Red + yellow = orange. Yellow + blue = green. Blue + red = purple. Orange, green and purple are called secondary colors.
Why "primary"?
You can’t make red, yellow or blue by mixing other paints — they come first, which is what primary means.
Screens are different
TV and computer screens mix light, not paint. Their primary colors are red, green and blue (RGB). Mix all three lights and you get white!
