Question

Colours on either side of the secondary colours are called ............. colours.

• A. Tertiary
• B. Primary
• C. Warm
• D. Cool

Hint:

Tip: Tertiary = Primary + Secondary (e.g., red-orange, yellow-green).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In the color wheel, primary colours are red, blue, and yellow.
When two primary colours mix, they form secondary colours like green, orange, and purple.
Tertiary colours are created by mixing a primary colour with a secondary colour adjacent to it.
This is why they sit on either side of the secondary colours on the color wheel.
Warm and cool describe color temperatures but not their position in the color wheel structure.
Therefore, colours on either side of secondary colours are known as tertiary colours.
