In the red–yellow–blue system as used in traditional painting and interior design, tertiary colors are typically named by combining the names of the adjacent primary and secondary.
The secondary colors - green, purple, and orange - are made by combining the primary colors. The primary colors in an RYB color wheel are red, yellow, and blue. In the terminology of color theory, RGB color space and CMY color space have a much larger color gamut than RYB color space. The RGB color wheel has largely replaced the traditional RYB color wheel because it is possible to display much brighter and more saturated colors using the primary and secondary colors of the RGB color wheel. The RYB color wheel was invented centuries before the 1890s, when it was found by experiment that magenta, yellow, and cyan are the primary colors of pigment, not red, yellow, and blue. This approach to tertiary color relates specifically to color in the form of paints, pigments, and dyes. These names are shown below.Īnother definition of tertiary color is provided by color theorists such as Moses Harris and Josef Albers, who suggest that tertiary colors are created by intermixing pairs of secondary colors: orange-green, green-purple, purple-orange or by intermixing complementary colors. Tertiary colors have general names, one set of names for the RGB color wheel and a different set for the RYB color wheel.
