Neutral ColorsNeutral colors or earth tones are not seen on most colorwheels. Black, gray, whites are neutral. Browns, beiges andtans are sometimes neutral too. Neutral colors can be madeby mixing:
• Black and white
• Complementary colors
• All three primaries together (plus some black or white)
AnalogousAny three colors which are sideby side on a 12 part color wheel,such as yellow-green, yellow,and yellow-orange. Usually oneof the three colorspredominates.
