Unit 10(?): Colors

Growing up, we always knew that red, blue and yellow were the primary colors because, between them, you could make almost any color. In light, the principle is similar but the colors are different. The primary colors of light are red, green, and blue, yellow instead being the product of red and green. The product of green and blue was a color called cyan while the mix between red and blue was magenta. These six colors make up a wheel that starts from red and goes to magenta, blue, cyan, green, and yellow back around again. The color opposite from one of the colors on the wheel is said color's complimentary color.
