Green, composed of the primaries yellow and blue, is capable of great variation from cool to warm according to the amount of either blue or yellow entering into it. Its contrast is red.
Orange is the most brilliant of the secondary colors. It is most useful when toned down to old gold and russet.
Violet is the darkest of the secondary colors. As it contains much blue it has a tendency to fade into a neutral brownish color by artificial light.
The tertiary colors russet, olive, and citrine are most valuable.
Russet is made up of orange and violet, which again are composed of yellow, blue, and red. Red being in both of these colors, russet evidently belongs to the red group of colors, and contains a smaller proportion of both yellow and blue. The contrast to russet is from deep green to blue grey for a very orange shade.
Olive is dominantly a blue color as it is made from green and violet, both of which contain blue. The contrast of olive is deep orange.
