What is typically the composition of a primary color?

The composition of a primary color is one pure hue. Primary colors are fundamental in color theory, serving as the building blocks for creating other colors. These hues cannot be created from any mixture of other colors. In the traditional color model, the primary colors are red, blue, and yellow, which can be combined in various ways to produce secondary colors (green, orange, and purple) and further blended to create tertiary colors.

Understanding primary colors is essential for barbers and stylists when considering hair coloring and cosmetic applications, as it helps them in achieving the desired color effects by knowing how to mix and manipulate color.
