These are the colors on the color wheel that fall between the Primary Color and the Secondary Color.

In this picture, you can see that the blue-green and the yellow-green would be the Tertiary colors.

In naming the Tertiary colors, the primary color is always the first part of the name.

One interesting thing about tertiary colors is that when you mix a Tertiary Color with the Primary Color that is not a part of it all ready, you will get a variety of brown.

If you mix blue-green, with red, you would get a brown.

If you mix red-orange, with blue, you would get brown.

Try it and see what colors you get with what you have on your pallet.

I always say this, because we all have such a variety of colors and brands, that what I might achieve with my pallet may not be what you get with yours.
