There are many different colors for you to choose from when creating art, but the primary colors the ones that matter the most.
They might be the most basic of colors, but they are the colors that are used to create all other colors, so you need to have a strong understanding of them and use them wisely when making art.
If you don’t know, the primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. Red can be used for injecting energy into artwork or for showing strong emotions like love, passion, and anger. Meanwhile, yellow is a positive color and can be used to add happiness or optimism to a piece, though it can also sometimes be used to express an emotion like cowardice when used properly. And blue is a color that can carry many connotations. It can be utilized to express dignity and authority, but it can also be used to show sadness.
Outside of expressing certain emotions, the three primary colors are also used to create the secondary colors and tertiary colors, including orange, purple, and green. You might not always think about this when you’re using the secondary or tertiary colors while making art, but you can make your artwork more effective and connect with people better when you use the right colors.
