Color Theory Part C - Short Writing Assignment

The three primary colors are Red, Yellow, and Blue. Secondary colors are created when you mix two primary colors together. For example, if red and yellow were to mix, the result will be the color orange. Tertiary colors are combinations of primary and secondary colors. For example, if you mix blue and green you get blue-green. Additive colors are created by mixing the visible light emitted from differently colored light sources. Subtractive color is where light is removed to creat color. Colors affect our perception in many ways. It is because of the way our brain interprets the color and tells us what to feel, think, etc. If your in a pink room, you'll feel restless and calm. But if your in a red room you feel mad.  One color affect another when they mix. This results in many other colors.
