If your home’s colour scheme is feeling flat, read on to learn how you can switch things up with the help of tertiary colours on the walls.
Before we talk about tertiary colours, it is important to have a good understanding of what primary colours and secondary colours are.
Primary colours are of three types namely yellow, blue and red. The three colours cannot be created by mixing other colours. However, primary colours can be combined to make secondary colours.
When you mix two primary colours, you get secondary colours. The secondary colours are mainly purple, green and orange.
The third set of hues are known as tertiary colours. Tertiary colours blend primary and secondary colours. Tertiary wall colours are perfect for home decorating as it can work beautifully in Indian homes.
