Let’s solve this step by step.
First, we need to know what primary and secondary colors are.
Primary colors are the basic colors that cannot be made by mixing other colors. In traditional art (like painting), they are:
- Red
- Blue
- Yellow
So under “Primary colours”, we write:
1. red
2. blue
3. yellow
(You can list them in any order — but these are the three.)
---
Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors together:
- Red + Yellow = Orange
- Yellow + Blue = Green
- Blue + Red = Purple
So under “secondary colours”, we write:
1. orange
2. green
3. purple
(Again, order doesn’t matter as long as all three are there.)
---
Now, for the
complementary colors part.
Complementary colors are pairs of colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. When you put them next to each other, they look bright and strong.
Looking at the color wheel in the image:
- Red is opposite → Green
- Blue is opposite → Orange
- Yellow is opposite → Purple
So we fill in the boxes on the right like this:
Top pair:
“red” is complementary to “green”
Middle pair:
“blue” is complementary to “orange”
Bottom pair:
“yellow” is complementary to “purple”
(Note: The worksheet shows the words already in the wheel — so we just match opposites.)

Final Answer:
Primary colours:
red
blue
yellow
Secondary colours:
orange
green
purple
Complementary pairs:
red is complementary to green
blue is complementary to orange
yellow is complementary to purple
