Colors

Colors are all around us and play a crucial role in our daily lives. They are a result of the way our eyes and brain interpret light.

Primary Colors

The primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. These colors cannot be created by mixing other colors together.

Secondary Colors

When you mix two primary colors together, you get secondary colors. These colors are green (from mixing blue and yellow), orange (from mixing red and yellow), and purple (from mixing red and blue).

Warm and Cool Colors

Colors can be divided into warm and cool categories. Warm colors, such as red, orange, and yellow, are often associated with energy and warmth. Cool colors, such as blue, green, and purple, are calming and soothing.

Color Mixing

Colors can be mixed to create new shades and tones. For example, mixing red and yellow creates orange, and mixing blue and red creates purple.
