The document discusses the color wheel and the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. It explains that the primary colors are red, yellow, and blue which are created by different lightwave frequencies. The secondary colors of orange, green, and violet are made by combining primary colors in pairs. Tertiary colors fill in the gaps between primary and secondary colors and are made by blending primary and secondary colors in equal parts. Instructions are provided to create a color wheel labeling the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors.

1. The Colour Wheel

2. Primary Colours
Red, Yellow and Blue
Lightwaves travel at different frequencies: Red is longest,
Yellow is middle range, Blue is close to the short end (Violet)
• Starting at the top of your colour wheel, paint the top space
yellow, count four spaces clockwise and paint it red, and then
the next fourth space blue.

3. Secondary Colours
Orange, Green and Violet
Combining Primary Colors in pairs results in Secondary Colors. (Yellow +
Red = Orange, Yellow + Blue = Green, Red + Blue = Violet)
• In the space directly in the middle of the primary colours, mix equal
parts of each primary to create the secondary colours on your colour
wheel.

4. Tertiary Colours
Filling in the Gaps
The colors that fall between the Primary and Secondary Color mixtures are
Yellow-orange, Red-orange, Yellow-green, Blue-green, Red-violet and Blue-
violet.
• Now blend the primary colours with the secondary colours in equal parts
to create the tertiary colours on your colour wheels.

5. Now label the colours
on your colour wheel.
Please remember to
put your name on it.
