Tertiary Color - Traditional Painting (RYB)

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.

red (●) + orange (●) = vermilion (red-orange) (●)
orange (●) + yellow (●) = amber (yellow-orange) (●)
yellow (●) + green (●) = chartreuse (yellow-green) (●)
green (●) + blue (●) = viridian (blue-green) (●)
blue (●) + purple (●) = violet (blue-purple) (●)
purple (●) + red (●) = magenta (red-purple) (●)
