Sekundärfarben

Sekundärfarben are colors created by mixing two primary colors in equal proportions. In the subtractive color model, commonly used in pigments like paint and ink, the primary colors are typically red, yellow, and blue. Mixing red and yellow produces orange. Mixing yellow and blue results in green. Mixing blue and red creates violet or purple. These three colors – orange, green, and violet – are the secondary colors in this model.

In the additive color model, used for light, the primary colors are red, green, and blue. Mixing red and green light produces yellow. Mixing green and blue light creates cyan. Mixing blue and red light results in magenta. Therefore, yellow, cyan, and magenta are the secondary colors in the additive color model. The specific hues of secondary colors can vary slightly depending on the exact shades of the primary colors used and the mixing ratios. Understanding secondary colors is fundamental in art, design, and color theory for predicting and achieving desired color combinations.
