Colour is a pigment substance used for creative artwork. It is also the sensation produced in the eyes by the rays of decomposed light. It can also be defined as a property that makes object drawn to look more real as regard to absorption and reflection of light rays.

3. Tertiary colours: These are colours derived from the mixture of two secondary colours e.g.

(i) Green (Y+B) + Orange (Y+R) = Tertiary yellow

(ii) Green (Y+B) + Purple (R+B) = Tertiary blue

(iii) Purple (R+B) + Orange (Y+R) = Tertiary red
