Sekundärfärger

Sekundärfärger 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 red, yellow, and blue. Mixing red and yellow produces orange. Mixing yellow and blue produces green. Mixing blue and red produces violet or purple. These secondary colors are fundamental in understanding color theory and how different hues interact.

In the additive color model, used for light such as on computer screens and televisions, the primary colors are red, green, and blue. Mixing red and green light creates yellow. Mixing green and blue light creates cyan. Mixing blue and red light creates magenta. These secondary colors are distinct from those in the subtractive model due to the different way colors are produced by adding or subtracting light wavelengths. The concept of secondary colors is crucial for artists, designers, and anyone working with visual media to achieve specific color effects and palettes.
