Traditional Painting (RYB)
The primary colors in an RYB color wheel are red, yellow, and blue. The secondary colors in an RYB color wheel are made by combining the primary colors--orange, green, and violet.
In the red–yellow–blue system as used in traditional painting, and interior design, tertiary colors are typically named by combining the names of the adjacent primary and secondary.

Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or painting:
“The traditional American husband and father had the responsibilitiesand the privilegesof playing the role of primary provider. Sharing that role is not easy. To yield exclusive access to the role is to surrender some of the potential for fulfilling the hero fantasya fantasy that appeals to us all. The loss is far from trivial.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“Photography suits the temper of this ageof active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately.”
—Edward Weston (18861958)
