An aspect to be aware of is that, the colour within a painting can affect the viewer in many ways emotionally, psychologically and mentally. If you want the overall 'feel' or colour temperature of the painting to be warm, then use colours within this section of the colour wheel. To see an example of this have a look at the warm colour of this painting. The warm colours tend to come towards you, or feel closer to you, and come forward in a painting. You can use a small amount of a warm colour to warm the temperature of a cool colour and vice versa. These are the warm colours of the spectrum from red through orange to yellow. For example if you mixed the Primary colour Yellow with the Secondary colour Orange, the Tertiary colour would be Yellow Orange. If you mix a Primary colour (Red, Yellow or Blue) with it's adjacent Secondary colour on the colour wheel this will give a Tertiary colour, classed as third in order. The colour either side of the hand/pointer will be the colours used to make the Secondary colour as explained above. This time the hands of the colour wheel 'clock' point to the Secondary colours. Blue and Yellow will give a green and Red plus Blue will give purple. Yellow and Red will give an orange, as indicated. These are referred to as the Secondary colours. In theory mixing two colours together, that two of the hands on the colour wheel point at, will give the second colour, i.e. The three hands on the colour wheel 'clock' indicate the three Primary colours.
