The answer is lilac.

What tertiary shade is created when pink and blue are blended? The simple answer to this question is purple. However, because of the nature of the color pink, it can vary based on that. Purple is secondary color itself, as it’s the byproduct of red and blue.

Pink and blue match well together not exactly because they complement each other (though if you add yellow they form a triad), but because culturally, they’re seen as opposites. We’ve come to believe that pink is for girls and blue is for boys, so putting them side by side inspires some kind of colour harmony.

The three primary colors are red, yellow, and blue; they are the only colors that cannot be made by mixing two other colors.

Red-green and yellow-blue are the so-called “forbidden colors.” Composed of pairs of hues whose light frequencies automatically cancel each other out in the human eye, they’re supposed to be impossible to see simultaneously. The limitation results from the way we perceive color in the first place.

A secondary color is made by mixing two primary colors. For instance, if you mix red and yellow, you get orange.

Red and white mixed together make pink. The amount of each color you add affects the shade of pink you end up with. So more white will give you a lighter pink, whereas more red will give you a darker pink.

You can create brown from the primary colors red, yellow, and blue . Since red and yellow make orange, you can also make brown by mixing blue and orange. The RGB model used for creating color on screens like the television or a computer uses red and green to make brown.

Red, blue and yellow are the three primary colors for what colors make black paint when mixed together. Simply mix equal amounts of red, blue, and yellow together and you will get a nice black.

Looking at their placement on the RGB color wheel, when red and green are mixed together, they make the color yellow.

Complementary colors

• Modern color theory uses either the RGB additive color model or the CMY subtractive color model, and in these, the complementary pairs are red–cyan, green–magenta, and blue–yellow.
• In the traditional RYB color model, the complementary color pairs are red–green, yellow–violet, and blue–orange.

If you look closely at the color wheel, you can see that the opposite of pink is green. This is because the opposite of red is green. Since this color is a shade of red, the complementary color of pink is green.

Black-shaded hues like dusty purple, hunter green, and maroon share navy’s intensity and are likely to fade when paired with the dark-blue hue. Luckily, you’ll find plenty of colors, including mustard yellow, bright pink, cherry red, and even metallic gold, that go beautifully with navy blue.

Blue. Blue is the opposite of yellow.

On the colour wheel, Yellow is opposite of Purple. The Primary colours are RGB. So Purple is made from Red & Blue, Yellow is made from Red & Green.

One of the best qualities of yellow is that it goes great with nearly every other color—white, orange, green, pink, blue, brown. To build the perfect yellow color scheme, pick one or two shades of yellow to use as accents, plus a dark neutral and doses of white for a balanced color palette.
