mixed color
Not one shade
A mixed color is one produced by combining two or more other colors, as opposed to a primary color.
In painting, mixing blue and yellow yields green; in light, mixing red and green yields yellow.
The term appears in discussions of color theory, art instruction, and design: The sunset displayed mixed colors of orange and purple.
