Colour Shows Mood
Artists use colour to create patterns. Colour can also show different moods. Bright colours make us feel
happy and energetic. Dark colours make us feel calm or sad. The primary colours are red, yellow, and blue.
They are the colours that can be mixed together to make different colours. Mixing two primary colours
makes a secondary colour. The secondary colours are orange, green, and violet (purple). Orange is made by
mixing yellow and red. Green is made by mixing yellow and blue. Violet is made by mixing red and blue.
Intermediate colours can be made by mixing a primary and a secondary colour together. Some intermediate
colours are blue violet and red orange. Black, white, and gray are special colours. They are called neutral
colours. Colours have been organized into a colour wheel. It shows the three primary colours, the three
secondary colours, and the six intermediate colours. Artists use the colour wheel. It helps them know which
colours they want to use together.
