Tertiary color

A tertiary color is a color made by mixing one primary color with one secondary color, in a given color space such as RGB or RYB.

Unlike primary and secondary colors, these are not represented by one firmly established name each, but the following examples include some typical names. Brown and grey are sometimes known as Tertiary colors and can be made by mixing complementary colors.

RGB or CMY primaries
Tertiary color names are seldom used in descriptions of RGB (or equivalently CMYK) systems, but the names below represent colors in the right hue neighborhood.

Traditional painting (RYB)
In the red–yellow–blue system as used in traditional painting, tertiary colors are typically named by combining the names of the adjacent primary and secondary.
