Which set lists the secondary colors produced by mixing two of the three primary colors?

• A. Orange, Green, and Violet
• B. Purple, Cyan, and Magenta
• C. Orange, Green, and Brown
• D. Pink, Orange, and Violet

Answer: (A)

Secondary colors arise when you mix two primary colors. In the traditional red–yellow–blue system, red and yellow make orange, yellow and blue make green, and blue and red make violet. The set orange, green, and violet lists exactly these colors, so it’s the correct answer. Other options involve colors from different models (like cyan and magenta, which come from light rather than paint) or colors that aren’t formed by mixing two primaries, so they don’t fit as secondary colors.
