Brown
The one colour we have not come across yet is brown. Why does it not appear on our colour wheel?
Sometimes you may see brown referred to as a tertiary or a neutral colour.
Brown can be made in a variety of different ways, however three basic brown colours can be made by mixing complementary colours with each other. For example:
- Blue + a small amount of orange = Grey-brown
- Red + a small amount of green = Red-brown
- Yellow + a small amount of purple = Yellow-brown
By varying the amounts of each of these colours it is possible to make a large range of browns.
