Virtually mix primary colors

Primary colors are the three primary colors from which other colors are mixed. Red, yellow and blue are the most widely used primaries in painting. Did you know most artists only use these three colors to paint? But how? Let this activity show you how! Everything we see around us is made up of the three primary colors. The secondary color is a color that is created by mixing two other primary colors together. All of the other colors of the rainbow can be created by evenly mixing these three basic hues.
