🎨 Primary Colors – The Building Blocks of Color Mixing
-
Primary colors are the base colors from which all other colors can be mixed.
-
In subtractive color mixing (e.g. painting, printing), these are red, yellow, and blue.
-
The colors red, yellow, and blue cannot be created by mixing other colors.
-
They are the starting point in any color system and are therefore especially important for color theory.

Effect in Design:
-
- Primary colors appear very strong, vibrant, and direct.
- They quickly attract attention and are often used for {striking effects}{Striking means something is very eye-catching, clear, and often a bit exaggerated – like on a poster}.
- In art, they communicate clarity and childlike immediacy.
