Question

Name the secondary colours. How are they formed?

Answer 1

1. Yellow, magenta, and cyan are the secondary colours.
2. Blue, green and red are called primary colours.
3. The light of other colours is obtained by combining primary colours in suitable proportions.
4. When Blue light combines with green light we get the colour cyan.
5. When Blue light combines with red we get the secondary colour magenta.
6. When green light combines with red, we get the secondary colour yellow.
7. Hence, when the blue colour combines with green we get the colour cyan.

Hence, Yellow, magenta, and cyan are the secondary colours.
