Question

Classify colours on the basis of Munsell’s colour wheel. Provide an example of any one type of colour.

Answer 1

1. Primary colours: They are basic colours that cannot be made by mixing any other colours, e.g., red, yellow, or blue.
2. Secondary colours: When two primary colours are mixed in the same quantities, secondary colours are formed. e.g., Blue + Yellow = Green, Blue + Red = Purple, Red + Yellow = Orange.
3. Tertiary colours: When two colours (one primary and one secondary) are mixed in the same quantities, tertiary colours are formed. e.g., Red + Orange = Red Orange, Yellow + Green = Yellow Green, etc.
