wow I think everybody should be issued a great big pile of Xanax before playing this game. seriously ?? we're having an argument about whether blue is a primary color? or is it a colour?? please calm down. show a little restraint and courtesy. thank you very much for your kind attention to this matter.

If I had a buck for every color wheel I had to make throughout school, I could buy....lunch!

SolemnChancellor2303 red, blue and yellow are primary colours.. green is secondary, made from blue and yellow.

This is a common primary school art lesson, as long as art is concerned red, blue and yellow are the primary colors, mixing two primary colors will get you a secondary color and mixing two secondary colors will result to a tertiary color. Mixing all colors will give you black. To get white you mix red, green and blue. Still green is not a primary color.

In light, all colors come from green, red, or blue. In paint, all colors come from yellow, magenta (almost red), or cyan (almost blue).

Stygo, black & white are not colours !!

Rich Linville, yep, the difference is rgb are additive as monitors are producing light whereas printed material is subtractive as they are reflecting light

Pingu,
Cozzy 25,
You’re right Pingu. Black & white are shades, not colours. 😎

Should be yellow cyan and magenta for paint

Just in case anyone is interested, the true primary colours are Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. They really are but for some reason they continue to teach kids about colour theory incorrectly. Think of printing - CMKY (K stands for Key and is black in colour). A printer uses these because they can create and colour needed with just those colours. Get the word out there! (I hope Echo Gillette is proud.)

I've never understood why the colour wheel is different for light. Primaries are red, blue and green. Complimentaries are yellow, magenta and cyan. All colours of light can be created from these. White is red, blue and green.

BronzeNinja69951, white paint is made of titanium dioxide, found in sand. You could ask the same about the primary colors...those pigments, by definition, are not made by mixing other colors. It's chemistry.

littlesaint 72, it's American English vs British English....no need to be judgmental.
Becca Sue
littlesaint 72, in color theory, white is the absence of color (pigment) or the combination of all colors (light). White paint is therefore paint without pigment....what exact chemicals, I don't know, but acrylic paint is often called "titanium white"...

BronzeNinja69951, white is void if color so there is no combination to produce it.
