Intro to Color Theory

1) What are the 3 primary colors?
red, blue, yellow

2) How are secondary colors created? Cite an example
>By mixing primary colors
      ex. red+blue= violet blue+yellow= green yellow+red=orange 

3) How are tertiary colors created? Cite an example
>By mixing secondary colors
       ex. violet+green= aqua blue green+orange= yellow/green orange+violet= red/dark pink

4) What is the difference between subtractive and additive color models?
>Subtractive= Pigment Generated(red, green, yellow)
>Additive= Light Generated (red, green, blue)

5) How can color affect our perception? 
Color affects the way we see things, for example, blue is a rare occurrence in nature so we have no appetite response to blue food. Another example is the color pink. Pink is a tranquilizing color that drains energy(used in prisons and holding cells)

6) How does one color affect another? 
Color intensity changes in relation to its surrounding color. 
>ex: red ink on black paper vs. red ink on magenta paper
