What are secondary colours? Name the three secondary colours.

Answer 1

Secondary Colours:

1. Secondary colours are the colours of light which are obtained by mixing two primary colours together.
2. These are (i) yellow, (ii) cyan, and (iii) magenta.
3. E.g.- 1) If red and green lights are projected on a white screen, yellow light is obtained.

2) If green and blue lights are projected on a white screen, cyan (or peacock blue) light is obtained.

3) If blue and red lights are projected on a white screen, we get magenta (or purple) light.
