Tertiary colors

Tertiary colors

In the RGB color model, tertiary colors are created by mixing a primary color (red, green, or blue) with a secondary color (yellow, cyan, or magenta). This process results in a more nuanced and diverse color palette, which is crucial for digital design.

Tertiary colors include hues like:

  • Amber, a warm, golden color created by mixing red and yellow, which gives a reddish-orange hue
  • Vermilion, a bright reddish-orange color achieved by combining more red with yellow
  • Chartreuse, a vibrant yellow-green color made by mixing yellow and green
  • Spring green is a fresh, bright green color created by mixing green and cyan

These colors offer subtle variations that enhance the richness and depth of digital visuals.
