Primary and Secondary Colors

Back to Top
primary color red
Red,
primary color green
green and
primary color blue
blue are called primary colors or additive primary colors because white is obtained when these colors are mixed.

A color resulting from the mixing of two primary colors are called secondary or composite colors or subtractive primaries.
