Understanding the Color Wheel: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Colors

The Color Wheel is a circular diagram composed of colored wedges that represent the relationships between colors. Invented by Sir Isaac Newton, it categorizes colors into three main types: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) are the foundation for all other colors. Secondary colors (orange, green, and violet) result from mixing two primary colors. Tertiary colors are created by combining a primary color with a secondary color next to it, yielding combinations like red-orange and yellow-green.
