secondary colours
Orange, green, purple
Secondary colours are those produced by mixing two primary colours in equal parts.
In traditional colour theory using pigments, the secondary colours are orange, green, and purple—formed by combining red and yellow, yellow and blue, and blue and red respectively.
In light-based colour systems, the secondaries differ: cyan, magenta, and yellow.
