What's inside
Primary Colours — Discover the colours that make everything!
Did you know there are three special colours in painting? Red, yellow and blue are called primary colours. You can mix them to make many other colours!
Mixing Colours — Discover the secondary colours!
Did you know you can make new colours by mixing others? When you mix two primary colours, you get secondary colours. Let’s see how it works!
The Colour Wheel — See how colours mix together!
The colour wheel shows how colours are related. You can see the main colours and how mixing them makes new ones.
Warm and Cool Colours — Discover hot and cold colours!
Colours can be warm or cool. Warm colours remind you of the sun and fire. Cool colours remind you of the sea or ice.
The Rainbow — Discover colours in the sky!
When the sun shines after rain, you can see a rainbow in the sky. It shows many beautiful colours.
Colours of Light — How screens shine with colours
Did you know screens use light to show colours? The three main colours are red, green and blue.
Colours in Nature — How animals use their colours
In nature, colours help animals hide or warn others of danger. Some become almost invisible, while others show bright colours to say 'Watch out!'.
Colours and Feelings — How colours show emotions
Colours in art can show feelings! A painting with bright colours can make you feel happy, while dark colours can seem sad.
