Creating Colours 

 

 All the colours known are a result of combination between the primary colours, black and white. Actually colours do not exist in the real world. They are just a sensation caused by light reflected on objects and materials.

 Colours can be classified as primary, secondary and tertiary.

 There are three primary colours which cannot be separated, red, blue and yellow.

 The mixture of two primary colours forms the secondary colours and the mixture of one primary and one secondary color forms the tertiary colours.
