Primary Colors
Learn the three magic colors that make all other colors!
Beginner1. What are primary colors?
Primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. You cannot make these by mixing other colors — they are the building blocks of all color!
2. Red
Red is warm and energetic. Think of apples, strawberries, and stop signs.
3. Blue
Blue is cool and calm. Think of the sky, the ocean, and blueberries.
4. Yellow
Yellow is bright and happy. Think of the sun, bananas, and smiling faces.
