The Colour Wheel Explained

Colour Mixing Chart:
One of the most exciting things about kid’s paints is learning how to mix colours to make new colours.  You can use the primary colours red, blue, and yellow to get all of the colours of the rainbow. Plus you can use black and white for shading and lightening colours.  

Kid's love mixing colour to make new colours.

This colour mixing chart shows how the 3 primary colours can be mixed with each other to become secondary colours. How these secondary can become intermediate colours.   Download the PDF of the Colour Mixing Guide to have as a reference in the classroom.
