We’re all familiar with the rainbow,
but how much do we know about classifying colors?
We’ve got our primary colors: Red, Yellow, and Blue.
The primary colors combined with one another
make up our secondary colors: Orange, Green, and Purple.
These are made by combining primary colors
like red and yellow making orange,
yellow and blue making green,
and blue and red making purple.
Another way we can classify colors is
by how they relate to each other on the color wheel.
Colors that are on opposite sides of the color wheel are complimentary colors.
When compared side by side, they are the opposites of each other
but they still go well together;
they complement each other.
The next grouping of colors are triadic colors.
The triadic is a group of three colors that, like the complementary colors,
are opposite but also matching.
A triangle can be drawn connecting these colors,
showing their color location in relation to
the other colors in their group.
The triadic colors are comprised of
the primary colors,
the secondary colors,
and a third group in between the primary and secondary colors
called the tertiary colors.
The last grouping of colors are
the tetradic colors.
Instead of a triangle matching up these colors,
a rectangle connects four different colors,
two warm colors and two cool colors, in another aesthetic way.
Primary, secondary, complimentary, triadic, and tetradic colors
are only some of the basic ways
we can classify and combine colors.
With the endless range of hues that can be created,
there are just as many endless ways
of combining wonderful aesthetic color combinations.
