Red, combined with yellow, forms orange; while red, combined with blue, produces violet or purple. Yellow, combined with blue, gives us a green, while its other combinations with red, as well as the combinations of blue with red and yellow, are above described.

Orange, green, and violet or purple are, then, the secondary colors prepared by mixing as above, and may, in some cases, be obtained direct from the pigment itself. The combination of one secondary with any other secondary » color, will produce a tertiary color.
