In art, there are three primary colours. These are colours that cannot be made by mixing other colours together. They are - red, blue, and yellow:

Tertiary colours are neutral colours such as browns and greys.
If you mix three primary colours together, you get a tertiary colour or if you mix aprimary colour and a secondary colour you get a tertiary colour.
