Secondary_color

A secondary color is a color made by mixing two primary colors in a given color space. Examples include the following.

Light (RGB)

Pigment (CMY)

Traditional Painting Prescripts (RYB)

In the RGB color space the colors are added, thus you start with levels of dark colors which are added to produce lighter colors. RYB uses pigments, which are not added, and thus combining colors using the RYB color system will result in a darker color.
