What are the secondary colours that are made from mixing colours?

Mixing colours is a fun activity for children to learn about! By mixing together the primary colours of red, blue and yellow we can make the three secondary colours:

• Orange is made from mixing together red and yellow
• Green is made from mixing together yellow and blue
• Purple is made from mixing together blue and red

Mixing colours and knowing what different combinations of colours will make is an important skill for young children to master!
