Mixing Primary Paint Colours to get Secondary Colours:
There are three primary colours - red, blue and yellow.
No combination of other shades can create primary colours. However, all primaries can be mixed in various combinations to make more colours (hues).
Kids at an early age are usually only interested in mixing primary colours to create secondary ones and mixing secondary colours to create tertiary ones.
Basic Primary Colour Combinations:
Red + Blue = Violet (Purple)
Blue + Yellow = Green
Yellow + Red = Orange
