PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COLORS

All colors in this “color chart” are made from the primary colors, yellow, red and blue.

SECONDARY AND TERTIARY COLORS

Overlapping plates on this sheet are printed in full color. Tints are avoided in order to show secondary and tertiary colors in full strength.

To lighten secondary or tertiary colors add more of the lightest color of the combination. For example, if a lighter shade of primary green is more desirable, use more yellow; to deepen, add blue; to use as a tint, add white.

The above plates illustrate the primary and secondary colors broken up with light.
