Research is defined as a “diligent and systematic inquiry or investigation into a subject in order to discover or revise facts, theories, applications, etc.” according to Dictionary.com. The shape of your research may differ based on your field of study, but the basic steps of a research process will remain the same.

Secondary sources were created by someone who did not experience first-hand or participate in the events or conditions you’re researching. For a historical research project, secondary sources are generally scholarly books and articles. A secondary source interprets and analyzes primary sources.

Plagiarism is intentionally or unintentionally using someone else’s work without giving credit to the original author or creator.

Primary sources can be described as those sources that are closest to the origin of the information. Secondary sources often use generalizations, analysis, interpretation, and synthesis of primary sources. Examples of secondary sources include textbooks, articles, and reference books.

Primary and secondary categories are often not fixed and depend on the study or research you are undertaking. For example, newspaper editorial/opinion pieces can be both primary and secondary. If exploring how an event affected people at a certain time, this type of source would be considered a primary source.

Primary colors are the base of every color we mix in the studio. Think of primary colors, Yellow, Red and Blue, as the original parents of all the future generations of colors. Secondary colors, Orange, Purple and Green are the children to the primary colors.

Primary Yellow, Primary Red and Primary Blue are considered the root of every other color. They are colors that can’t be created by a mixture. The Secondary colors are Orange, Purple and Green. Tertiary colors are the six ‘in-between’ colors.

Secondary colors: These are color combinations created by the equal mixture of two primary colors. On the color wheel, secondary colors are located between primary colors. According to the traditional color wheel, red and yellow make orange, red and blue make purple, and blue and yellow make green.

Color Basics

• Three Primary Colors (Ps): Red, Yellow, Blue.
• Three Secondary Colors (S’): Orange, Green, Violet.
• Six Tertiary Colors (Ts): Red-Orange, Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green, Blue-Green, Blue-Violet, Red-Violet, which are formed by mixing a primary with a secondary.

“When artists’ paints are mixed together, some light is absorbed, making colors that are darker and duller than the parent colors. Painters’ subtractive primary colors are red, yellow and blue. These three hues are called primary because they cannot be made with mixtures of other pigments.”

In a blog post, Robert Krulwich of the public radio show Radiolab noted that there is no pink in the colors of the rainbow. Pink is actually a combination of red and violet, two colors, which, if you look at a rainbow, are on the opposite sides of the arc.

That’s why it could be said that for our vision, there are four primary colors: red, green, yellow and blue.

The primary colours are red, yellow and blue. They cannot be made by mixing other colours together. The primary colours sit equal distances apart on the colour wheel. All other colours can be mixed from red, yellow and blue.

Red, green and blue. When you mix the lights of two colours you are adding light and thus enlarging the amount of light. Mixing al three primary lightcolours make a white light. All other colours are made of certain amounts of red light, blue light and yellow light, in various amounts of brightness.

Red, green, and blue are the primary colors of light—they can be combined in different proportions to make all other colors. For example, red light and green light added together are seen as yellow light.

If you mix two primaries, you create what is called a secondary color. Mixing blue and red creates purple, red and yellow make orange, and yellow and blue make green. The exact hue of the secondary color you’ve mixed depends on which red, blue, or yellow you use and the proportions in which you mix them.

The modern primary colors are Magenta, Yellow, and, Cyan. With these three colors (and Black) you can truly mix nearly any hue.

See what happens when you mix together the three primary colors of light: red, green and blue.

Every preschooler knows that Red, Blue, and Green are primary colors. And since Red is a primary color that means it can not be made from either Green or Blue. But surprise! Red can be made by mixing the other set of primary colors. Give a child some Magenta and Yellow paint, and Voila!, they can make Red.

Red, green, and blue are known as the primary colors of light. The combinations of two of the three primary colors of light produce the secondary colors of light. The secondary colors of light are cyan, magenta, and yellow. In printing, the abbreviation for cyan is C, magenta is M, and yellow is Y.

(See Diagram A) These three resulting colors, cyan, magenta and yellow, are the three primary colors of pigment. These are the purest colors, and cannot be produced by mixing other pigment colors. Using these three colors, you can produce a vast number of other colors.

yellow

As nouns the difference between color and pigment is that color is (uncountable) the spectral composition of visible light while pigment is (biology) any color in plant or animal cells.

Chlorophyll, which gives a green color to plants, and hemoglobin, which gives blood its red color, are examples of pigments. A substance or material used as coloring.

If you mix all colors from light, you get white. If you mix all colors from pigments (paint) you get black.

Mixing these primary colors of pigment gives us the three secondary colors: red+blue=violet, red+yellow=orange, and yellow+blue=green. Then, the primary colors mixed with the secondary give us the tertiary.

Cyan pigment

Mixing the colors generates new colors as shown on the color wheel, or the circle on the right. Mixing these three primary colors generates black. As you mix colors, they tend to get darker, ending up as black. The CMYK color system (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) is the color system used for printing.

Combining red and blue together makes purple if you are talking about pigments, certain types of materials which can be combined together. Magenta absorbs green light, yellow absorbs blue light, and cyan absorbs red light. Mixing blue and red pigments together will give you the color violet or purple.
