sekoitusvärit

Sekoitusvärit, often translated as "mixed colors" or "secondary colors" in English art contexts, refers to the colors created by combining primary colors. In subtractive color mixing, which is relevant for pigments and paints, the primary colors are typically considered red, yellow, and blue. Combining these in pairs yields the secondary colors. Red and yellow mixed together produce orange. Yellow and blue mixed together create green. Blue and red mixed together result in purple or violet.

These secondary colors are fundamental in understanding color theory and are widely used in art, design, and education. They form the next level of the color wheel after the primary colors. Further mixing of secondary colors with primary colors creates tertiary colors, expanding the palette. The precise shades of secondary colors can vary depending on the specific pigments used. For example, a bright yellow mixed with a deep blue will produce a different shade of green than a pale yellow mixed with a light blue. Understanding sekoitusvärit is a foundational step for anyone learning about color and its applications.
