Colour
Colour is produced by rays of light on different wavelengths. Three primary colours blue, red, and yellow used to mix and create all the other colours. Mixing different amounts of colour changes the hue. The difference between colours is called the contrast. Complementary colours sit opposite each other on the colour wheel.
