Name the three secondary or complementary colors of the color wheel.

• A. Red, Yellow, Blue
• B. Green, Orange, Purple
• C. Blue, Yellow, Red
• D. Black, White, Gray

Answer: (B)

Green, orange, and purple are the three secondary colors. They’re formed by mixing two primary colors: green from blue and yellow, orange from red and yellow, and purple from red and blue. On the color wheel, these sit between the primaries, representing the hues created by blending primaries in equal parts. The other options show primary colors or neutral colors (black, white, gray), which aren’t the secondary set.
