3. The most important part colors are what is called the primary colors. Primary colors are those that cannot be made through the mixing of other colors. They are the basic colors that are mixed together to create the remaining hues of the color wheel. The primary colors include -Red -Blue -Yellow This is a 3-part color wheel composed of only the 3 basic primary colors.

4. When every two colors are combined with one another, the secondary colors are formed. The secondary colors include -Blue + Yellow = Green -Yellow + Red = Orange -Red + Blue = Purple This is a 6-part color wheel composed of primary and secondary colors.

5. When a primary color is mixed with a secondary color aside it, the tertiary colors are formed, thus creating the full 12-hue color wheel. The tertiary colors include Blue + Purple = Blue-purple Blue + Green = Blue-green Yellow + Green = Yellow-green Yellow + Orange = Yellow-orange Red + Orange = Red-orange Red + Purple = Red-purple This is a 12-part color wheel composed of all 12 colors, primary, secondary and tertiary.
