Which group should be checked to identify the basic colours in a painting?

Correct answer: Red, yellow, blue

For the traditional painting colour system, the basic or primary group is red, yellow and blue, so option B is correct. Green, orange and violet are commonly taught as secondary colours formed by mixing primary pairs. Black, white, brown, pink, grey and golden are not the three primary colours in this school-level classification. Checking the group therefore means identifying the standard primary set.
