Colour Shadow Apparatus

Primary colours, specifically red, blue, and yellow, serve as the foundation for creating a vast array of other colours. These colours cannot be created by mixing other colours together, but they can be combined in various ways to produce secondary colours. For instance, mixing red and blue yields purple, blue and yellow create green, and red and yellow form orange. Each combination results in a unique hue, demonstrating the versatility of primary colours in the colour wheel. By adjusting the ratios of these primary colours, an infinite spectrum of shades and tones can be achieved, allowing for endless creativity in art and design.

Moreover, the concept of primary colours extends beyond just the traditional RYB (red, yellow, blue) model. In the additive colour model, which is used in light and digital displays, the primary colours are red, green, and blue (RGB). When these colours are combined at full intensity, they create white light, while their absence results in darkness. This model demonstrates how different primary colours interact and influence one another, as well as how we perceive colour through light. Whether through pigments or light, primary colours are essential building blocks in the creation of the vibrant palette we encounter in our daily lives.
