Secondary Colours
The three colours - orange, green, and violet - each produced by mixing two primary colours.
“Secondary colours are among the most widely used in floral practice - orange in autumn work, green as the near-universal foliage base, violet in European-influenced contemporary work.”
Orange is red and yellow; green is yellow and blue; violet is blue and red. Secondary colours sit between the primaries on the colour wheel. They are more complex than primaries and in floral practice are among the most widely used - orange in autumn work, green as the near-universal foliage base, violet in European-influenced contemporary arrangements.
