6. , The three main colours: red, blue, and yellow. You can’t mix other colours to make them.
8. , Colours that have been mixed with gray to make them less bright.

12. , A colour scheme made from one colour, but with different tints and shades of it.
13. , A colour that’s been made darker by adding black. (Like blue + black = navy blue!)
14. , A coloured liquid you can use to make pictures or decorate things.
16. , Colours made by mixing a primary colour with a secondary colour. Like red-orange or blue-green.
17. , How light or dark a colour is. Light yellow has a high value, and dark brown has a low value.

19. , A group of colours an artist uses, or the thing they mix paint on.

5. , Colours you get when you mix two primary colours. (Red + blue = purple)
7. ,Blending two or more colours together to make a new one.
9. , Colours like red, orange, and yellow. They feel like heat or sunshine.
