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.

The general rule of thumb 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 browns.

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

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

The browns, of course,  would look different because of the difference in the ratio of each combination.

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.
