Sekundääriväriä

Sekundääriväriä are colors created by mixing two primary colors in equal proportions. In subtractive color models, like those used in paint and ink, the primary colors are typically red, yellow, and blue. Mixing red and yellow produces orange, mixing yellow and blue produces green, and mixing blue and red produces violet. These three secondary colors - orange, green, and violet - are fundamental in understanding color theory and artistic applications.

In the additive color model, used for light, the primary colors are red, green, and blue. Mixing red and green light creates yellow, mixing green and blue light creates cyan, and mixing blue and red light creates magenta. These are the secondary colors in the additive system. The concept of secondary colors is crucial for artists, designers, and anyone working with color to achieve a wide range of hues. Understanding how to create secondary colors allows for greater control and creativity in visual representation. The specific shades of secondary colors can vary depending on the pigments or light sources used, but the fundamental mixing principles remain consistent.
