secondary colour
Two primaries combined
A secondary colour is one produced by mixing two primary colours.
In traditional pigment mixing, the secondary colours are orange, green, and purple—made by combining red and yellow, yellow and blue, or blue and red respectively.
The specific secondaries depend on the colour model: RGB light mixing yields different results than paint mixing.
