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:
“There are two kinds of fathers in traditional households: the fathers of sons and the fathers of daughters. These two kinds of fathers sometimes co-exist in one and the same man. For instance, Daughter’s Father kisses his little girl goodnight, strokes her hair, hugs her warmly, then goes into the next room where he becomes Son’s Father, who says in a hearty voice, perhaps with a light punch on the boy’s shoulder: “Goodnight, Son, see ya in the morning.””
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it—a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand—as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it is bad art.”
—Marc Chagall (1889–1985)
