Color Mix (3+ syllables)

Just three colors can make a whole lot more. They are called the primary colors. Red, blue, and yellow are primary.

Red is a strong, powerful color. We call it a hot color. Think of hot, red things like lava.

Yellow is a warm color, too. It is more moderate. Think of warm things like the sun on a pleasant day.

Blue is a cool color. Think of swimming in a wonderful, clear blue lake.

So, how do you get more colors? You mix those primary colors together. Mix red and yellow, and you get...

Orange! These two warm colors make another warm color when they mix together.

Let's mix together red and blue. I bet, you already know what color it will be.

It's a great shade of purple! When there is more red, it's a warm purple. When there is more blue, it's a cool purple.

Just one more pair to go. Get yellow and blue together for a party, and you create...

Green! It's usually a cool color. But add a lot of yellow to warm it up.

And there you have it! Mix the primary pairs together, and you get secondary colors. So, what happens when you mix all three at once?

Awesome!

Mixing color is fun!
