Concept
Primary Colours
The three foundational colours - red, yellow, and blue - which cannot be produced by mixing any other colours.
“In analogous schemes, no more than one primary should be included in the sequence - a specific, teachable design rule.”
Primary colours are the origin point of the pigmentary colour system. Every other colour is derived from combinations of the three primaries. Understanding the primaries grounds understanding of why colour relationships behave as they do - why orange feels warm and energetic, why violet is the complement of yellow, and why green recedes while red advances. In analogous schemes, no more than one primary should be included in the sequence.
