Here are my eyes. They’re more blue (or maybe blue grey) at the outside with some green at the inner ring.

There are three main ways to pair colors that I’m going to share with you – complimentary, monochromatic and analogous.Ĭomplimentary colors are two colors that are roughly opposite to each other on the color wheel. Warm colors – reds, oranges and yellows.Cool colors – violets, blues and greens.Tertiary colors are yellow orange, red orange, red violet, blue violet, blue green, and yellow green. When you think of the colors on the color wheel, I think it’s pretty easy to see that the warmer shades are red, orange and yellow, while the cooler shades are blue, green and purple. To create a tertiary shade you mix a primary color with a secondary color. So you would mix blue and yellow to make green, red and yellow to make orange, and blue and red to make violet (purple).



You mix primary colors to make secondary shades. Secondary colors are orange, violet, and green. The primary colors are blue, yellow, and red. Here’s a basic color wheel to refresh your memory on color theory.
