This document discusses different types of colors: - Primary colors (red, yellow, blue) cannot be made by mixing other colors and are used to make all other colors. - Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors (green, orange, purple). - Tertiary colors are made by mixing a primary and a secondary color. - Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel and have no common color (red and green, yellow and purple, orange and blue). - Analogous colors are beside each other on the color wheel and share a common color (blue, blue-purple, blue-green).
