Primary and Secondary Colours Worksheet
Artist's tip (Two make one): Primary colours: red, yellow, blue — they cannot be mixed from other paints. Secondary colours: orange = red + yellow, green = blue + yellow, purple = red + blue. To find a missing colour, ask: which two primaries are inside this secondary colour?
