Which two colors are mixed to create a secondary color?

Primary and complementary colors
Primary colors
Tertiary colors
Warm and cool colors

The correct answer is: Primary colors

To create a secondary color, primary colors are mixed together. The primary colors of pigment are red, blue, and yellow. When you mix two primary colors, you produce secondary colors: mixing red and blue results in purple, blue and yellow produce green, and yellow and red yield orange. This foundational principle in color theory is essential for anyone in the field of art and design, including barbers who often use color theory when selecting hair dyes or creating visual effects. The other options do not accurately represent the process of creating secondary colors. Complementary colors refer to colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, while tertiary colors are made by mixing a primary color with a secondary color. Warm and cool colors describe two categories in color temperature but do not pertain to the mixing process necessary for creating secondary colors.
