Primary Colors

Colors, or Hue which is actually the term used to name colors, are broken down into several categories. The very first ones you want to start with, are the Primary Colors.primary colors There are three of them:
  • RED,
  • BLUE, and
  • YELLOW
They are called Primary colors, because they cannot be made from any combination of colors or pigments

Mixing primary colors together will give you Secondary Colors: that is mixing any two of the primary colors. Just out of curiosity, you could try mixing all three primary colors and see what you get. Go ahead, you might be surprised.

Each brand of paints have a different name for their colors. What one calls red may actually be a red with a hint of yellow in it, while another may have a hint of blue in it. You can find quite a bit of information on most tubes of paint that will help you identify the color. If you are like me, however, be sure to bring a magnifying glass with you so you can read the information. The websites of each manufacturer also usually have complete charts of color to help you identify them.
