Introduction: In the case of color mixing or painting, you must have an understanding color theory for painting as you cannot make three colors (red, blue, and yellow) by mixing other colors. These three colors are known as primary colors. And except for these three colors, other colors are known as secondary colors. You can easily make secondary colors by mixing two or more primary colors. If you mix two primary colors then you can get a secondary color. For example, if you mix blue and red you can get purple. Blue and red is primary color and purple is a secondary color. And in this way mixing two primary colors red and yellow, we can get orange. Yellow and blue make green. The exact hue depends on which color is mixed with and what result can get through it, this is very important in understanding color theory for painting, If you mix those three primary colors then you can get a tertiary color.
White and black effects for painting: White and black cannot be used as color mixing. You also cannot create the color with the help of black and white; they get excluded from the color mixing theory. White color can be used to lighten the main color. The black color can be used to darken it. Artists are not preferred black color for painting.
Different types of primary colors: You can buy various types of primary colors; we all know there are three types of primary colors such as red, blue, and yellow. Blue colors have different types of forms such as cobalt blue, cerulean blue, ultramarine blue, monestial blue, and Prussian blue. Red also has alizarin crimson and cadmium red. These all are the primary colors, just different types of versions.
Which specific primary color you should use: This is not a question as to which primary color is right to use or right to mix. Each red, yellow, and blue gets different results when mixed. Each pair of primaries will produce something different. Their usage depends on which color is required.

It is used in the fashion industry as well as in interior design. It has a very important role in color science.
Secondary colors: Secondary colors can be made by mixing two primary colors. If you mix red and yellow then you can get an orange color. If you mix red and blue then you can get purple and if you mix three primary colors then you can get a tertiary color. You can understand except red, blue, and yellow all the colors are secondary color. You can mix a secondary color with primary color on the basis of color’s requirement.
Tertiary colors: Tertiary colors are made by mixing three primary colors. This is created by either mixing three primary colors or mixing by primary and secondary colors. If you can create the tertiary color then you have to check the varying proportion of colors that you have mixed.
Conclusion: In this article, you can understand the color theory and the different types of color you can use on the basis of color requirement. This is very helpful to know the fact of color mixing and where those colors can be used, and their differences. This discussion also can improve your color mixing theory in the future.
