Tertiary colours
In this Class 9 Art Education topic from the Colour Theory chapter, students learn how tertiary colours are created by mixing a primary colour with a neighbouring secondary colour. They identify colours such as red-orange, yellow-green, and blue-violet, and understand their place on the colour wheel. The topic develops practical skills in colour mixing, observation, and visual comparison while helping students use tertiary colours thoughtfully in drawings, paintings, and balanced compositions.

How is a tertiary colour made?
In the standard colour-wheel model, a tertiary colour is produced by mixing a primary colour with the neighbouring secondary colour. Examples include yellow-green, blue-green, and red-orange.
Which colour is generally obtained by mixing the primary colours red and blue?
Traditional subtractive colour theory states that red and blue pigments mix to form violet, a secondary colour. Therefore, option A is correct.
Which colour is formed if yellow is added to red instead of blue?
On the traditional art colour wheel, red and yellow are primary colours whose mixture produces orange. Therefore option D is correct.
