**Types of Colors and Important Color Schemes every Designer should learning in Graphic Design Training**
As a designer, it is important to learn about colors as they are one of the top elements of design. With the right knowledge of colors, you can plan your design very well. Even you are attending [graphic design training in Delhi](https://www.admecindia.co.in/courses/graphic-design-courses/) or anywhere around the globe, you must understand these concepts very well.

In this blog, we will talk about the top key points related to colors like their types and schemes.

**TYPES OF COLORS:-**
    1. Primary color (Red, Blue, Yellow)
    2. Secondary color (Orange, Green, Purple)
    3. Tertiary color: They come with many more variations like: Blue-Green, Blue-Violet, Red-Orange, Red-Violet, Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green.
    
Let’s read more about these types below.

    • Primary colors:-
Primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) are like the main hues which form the remaining colors. Remember, we can’t make these colors by mixing any other hues. 

    • Secondary colors:-
When you mix two primary colors together you form a secondary color. The three secondary colors are green, orange, purple. 
To under this better, make a color wheel having 12 columns and put Red, Blue and Yellow in three columns with equal gap form all sides. Then start mixing the two primary together and when you end up doing this with all three primary, you’ll get to see that red and yellow make orange, red and blue make purple, and blue and yellow make green. 

    • Tertiary colors:-
The third type is tertiary and it comes with the combination of primary and secondary colors.
Let’s talk about some other concepts like color scheme.

    • COLOR SCHEME:-
Color scheme represents the group combination of different colors with harmony presented on color wheel. 

**TYPES OF COLORS SCHEME:-**
    • Complementary
    • Split complementary color scheme
    • Triadic color scheme
    • Square color scheme
    • Tetradic color scheme
    • Analogues color scheme
    • Monochromatic color scheme 
    • Achromatic color scheme

    • Complementary color scheme:- Complementary color scheme presents two colors which are opposite of each other on wheel and are opposite in nature like one is cool and other is warm. Example, Blue and Orange.

    • Split complementary color scheme:- The split complementary comes with three colors on the wheel. 
    • Triadic color scheme:- Triadic scheme comes in the form when we select colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel. 
    • Square color scheme:- The square color scheme has 4 colors with one base hue and three colors placed at 90 degree from base.

    • Tetriadic color scheme:- The tetradic also has 4 hues. In it, we use two pairs of complementary color.
    • Analogues color scheme:-  The analogues is mostly used and comes with 3 hues which are adjacent on the color wheel.
    • Monochromatic color scheme:- Monochromatic color scheme has single color but uses its variation in shades like dark and light. It is one of the most used schemes and presents a good sense of calm harmonious energy.
    • Achromatic color scheme:- The last one in the list is Achromatic where we use white and black only or scales of gray.
