They remain within the same range of hues. Van Gogh (plate 14C) has made attempt apply such colors in his compositions.

There are six tertiary colors: red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red-violet. An easy way to remember these names is to place the primary name before the other colour. So, the tertiary colour produced when mixing the primary colour blue with the secondary colour green, is called 'blue-green" Conclusion The above topics addressed to the basic science and knowledge about color in pigments and in light. It is essential for artists and designers aware about the above topic so that they may apply consciously. Docsity.com
