COLOUR AND ITS USES
Most people go about thier daily life not even realising the affect that colour has on us as people. We are surounded by colour on a daily basis and it influences our mood and our emotions. Colours have a very symbolic meaning to each of us and can make us feel happy or sad, calm or irritable.
Colour will always be a very personal thing and no one can make you change your mind about how you feel about it, our preferance for colours can even change over the years as we mature and change our minds about fundemental things in life.
Summer, autum, winter, spring, amasing ranges of colours with every season!!!!
PRIMARY HUES OR PRIMARY COLOURS
Primary colours are red, blue, yellow and cannot be obtained by mixing other colours. All other colours except white are obtained by mixing these three primary colours or hues in different proportions or parts. Learn how to mix colours in our Colour wheel project or read about its influences on you in the Colour theory pages.

Secondary colours are obtained by mixing equal quantities of two Primary colours. Learn how to mix secondary colours in our Colour wheel project or read about its influences on you in the Colour theory pages.

Intermediate colours are obtained by mixing one Primary and one Secondary colour in equal quantities. If equal quantities or-all three Primary colours are mixed you will obtain brown.
