Colour Theory - Tech

Today for tech the year 7s has practiced coloring patterns. We made our own colour wheel and I learnt about the three prime colours. Red,Blue and Yellow. There is the link to my colour wheel Colour theory. I learnt that red,blue and yellow are primary colours because when they mix these colours come out as secondary colours. The secondary colours is Green, Purple and orange. Although you can make darker colours depending on how much of the other colour you mix with another prime colour. Next we drew out a logo and colour it in with Analogous and complementary colours. Analogous means same or close colours. Complementary is like the opposite of primary colours for example I use yellow, blue and orange in fire fox.
