Color Writing Assignment

1. There are three primary colors, which are red, blue and yellow.
2. Secondary colors are created by mixing primary colors together. Secondary colors consist of orange (red + yellow), green (blue + yellow) and purple (red + blue).
3. Tertiary colors are created by mixing both primary and secondary colors together. Some example of tertiary colors are blue-green, yellow-green, red-orange, and violet.
4. The subtractive color model creates brown when mixing its primary colors (RYB), and the additive color model creates white when mixing its primary colors (RGB).
5. Color affects our perception in that dark colors are seen as receding in depth, while light colors are seen as advancing in depth.
6. Colors can affect each other, too. One example of this is a high contrast combination of red on black, which simulates a feeling of danger for most people (one might think of black widows).
