Art Education
Secondary colours
In this Class 9 Art Education topic from the Colour Theory chapter, students learn how secondary colours are created by mixing two primary colours in suitable proportions. They explore the relationships among red, yellow, and blue and identify the resulting orange, green, and violet or purple hues. The topic also develops understanding of colour mixing, visual balance, colour wheels, and how secondary colours can be used to create contrast, harmony, depth, and expressive effects in artwork.

Which colour is made by mixing red and yellow?
In the traditional painter’s colour wheel, red and yellow are primary colours. When these two pigments are mixed, the result is orange, which is classified as a secondary colour.
Which colour is made by mixing blue and red?
Blue and red are two primary colours in the traditional art colour wheel. Mixing them produces violet, a secondary colour, so option B is correct.
Which colour scheme uses opposite colours?
The governing concept is the complementary relationship on the colour wheel. A complementary scheme pairs colours that lie opposite each other, such as red and green, blue and orange, or yellow and violet.
