Even Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe engaged with color theory and attempted to create a system to organize the vast array of colors. Their insights form the foundation for all current color models. The most widely used system in Europe is based on the three primary colors blue, red, and yellow, which cannot be mixed with other colors. The mixture of these primary colors results in orange, green, and violet as secondary colors. Their transitions create a color wheel. Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are referred to as complementary colors. These color pairs are highly contrasting and enhance the effect of each other. Tertiary colors are mixed from a primary color and a secondary color, such as red-orange or yellow-green. Red, orange, and yellow are considered warm colors, while green, blue, and violet are cool colors. Neutral colors, which also play an important role in design, include white, black, and gray.
