Answer 3

A primary color or colour is a color that cannot be created by mixing other colors in the gamut of a given color space.

Primary colors may themselves be mixed to produce most of the colors in a given color space: mixing two primary colors produces what is generally called a secondary color, mixing a secondary with a primary produces what is sometimes called a tertiary color.

Traditionally, the colors red, yellow, and blue are considered to be primary pigments in the art world. However those colors are not the same hue as the "red", "yellow" and "blue" used in alternate color systems.

Many modern applications use primary additive colors of red, green and blue; and the primary pigments (i.e. subtractive primaries) of magenta, yellow, and cyan. If the color space is considered as a vector space, the primary colors can be regarded as a set of basis vectors for that space.

Answer 4

Blue Green Red

Answer 5

There are two trains of thought here...

The first is from the printing industry standpoint, The three primaries are red, green, and blue. These are the three wavelengths of light that the human eye percieves.

The other school of thought is in the art community, and that is red, blue, and yellow. These three colors are combined to create the other colors of the visible spectrum.

So, the correct answer to your question depends on your angle in asking.

Answer 6

Red; Yellow; and Blue because combinations of these three plus white (non-color) make up the other colors. Yellow + Blue = Green; Yellow + Red = Orange; Blue + Red = Purple, etc.

Answer 7

As this is a silly question, I'll provide a silly answer (and it's even sillier that there are two PAGES of replies to this 'primary' question):

There are actually only 2 primary colors:

1. "Primary Colors", the 1998 novel written by Joe Klein (though originally released 'anonymously'), which was purportedly based loosely on former President Bill Clinton and his administration and

2. "Primary Colors" the 1998 film starring John Travolta that was basically made to cash in on the popularity of the novel.

Answer 8

Red Yellow Blue Green Brown Orange White Black in that order

Answer 9

Primary colors are Red, Yellow, and Blue.
Other colors are made by combining 2 primaries together:
Red + Yellow = Orange
Red + Blue = Purple
Yellow + Blue = Green

Red + Yellow + Blue = black
No colors at all = white

White & Black combined with other colors will give you tints & hues of that color i.e. pink, baby blue, lavender, forest green, etc.

Answer 10

Blue, Red and Yellow

All other colors can be made be combining these 3, which is why the are called "primary" colors

Answer 11

PRIMARY COLORS are red, yellow and blue
In traditional color theory, these are the 3 pigment colors that can not be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. All other colors are derived from these 3 hues
