Does anyone know what the primary and secondary colours are?

Question

I can't remember them all.

Answer 1

Red, yellow an blue are the primary colours.
The secondary ones you get by mixing two of the primary ones:
yellow and red for orange, yellow and blue for green, red and blue for purple. Brown is a mix of all three primary colours.

This is for paint. With light, it is similar but a bit different.

Answer 2

Primary are I think Blue Red Yellow
Secondary Green Orange Purple

Answer 3

depends on if you are talking about light or pigment. Light: Primary - Red Green Blue Secondary - Yellow, Magenta, Cyan

Pigment: Primary - Red Yellow Blue Secondary - Green, Orange, Violet

Answer 4

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 pink, 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.

From Wikipedia... Learn to use it, it is very useful

Answer 5

Both previous answers are correct. The primary colors of red, blue, yellow are called primary because they form the basis of the spectrum and are not formed from any other colors.
The secondary colors which finish the spectrum are made by blending the primary colors yellow + red + orange, yellow + blue = green, blue + red = violet. http://www.artsparx.com/color_basicprinc.asp
