HOW DO WE PERCEIVE COLOURS?In the perception of colours several factors are involved:

How can we classify colours?We can classify colours according to if we can get them from mixing another colours:
PRIMARY COLOURS: They are the ones which CAN NOT be obtained by mixing other colours. They are only three:
MAGENTA
CIAN
YELLOW

By mixing this three primary colours plus black and white we can get ANY COLOUR we want.
We can see this is true looking with a magnifying glass any picture of a magazine

SECONDARY COLOURS
We can get them by mixing to equal parts of two primary colours:
MAGENTA + CIAN =
MAGENTA + YELLOW =
CIAN + YELLOW =
PURPLE
RED
GREEN

How can we order the colours?COLOUR WHEEL
![Page 10: COLOR/COLOUR. What is colour? It is one of the basic elements of visual languages (together with dots, lines, shapes, texture and light) DEFINITION: Colour](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e895503460f94b8e748/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How do we create the colour wheel?
YELLOW1
MAGENTA1
CIAN BLUE1
First we have the three primay colours

How do we create the colour wheel?
YELLOW1
MAGENTA1
CIAN BLUE1
Secondly we have to add the secondary colours in the middle of the space between two primary colours
RED2
PURPLE2
GREEN2

How do we create the colour wheel?
YELLOW1
MAGENTA1
CIAN BLUE1
Then by mixing one secondary colour with the primary which is beside it we obtain thr terciary colours!!

Mixing any colour of the colourwheel with black or white we can get an infinite number of colours
![Page 14: COLOR/COLOUR. What is colour? It is one of the basic elements of visual languages (together with dots, lines, shapes, texture and light) DEFINITION: Colour](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e895503460f94b8e748/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
We can get also infinite colours by mixing colours which are not together in the colour-wheel

COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS• How can we find the complementary colour of any
colour?We have to look for it just at the opposite side of the colour wheel!
